Well, I just found this in a babble search:
" A great example is the muscle relaxer Flexeril, which is really nothing more than a tricyclic antidepressant when you get down to it. It inhibits NE and 5-HT uptake and has strong anticholinergic and antihistamine activity, making it very similar to Elavil (which is used quite often in treating fibromyalgia)."
Is this true? Does it work like a TCA. This is the information I am looking for: what neurotransmitters does this med hit?
