Mechanism of action of flexeril?

Posted by ravenstorm on July 1, 2006, at 9:17:54

I know that flexeril is a muscle relaxant, but I have a friend whose doctor prescribed it for her for grinding her teeth and insomnia.
I checked SLS's handy list, but no luck (probably because its not a psych drug).
What is the mechanism of action for flexeril? What parts of the brain does it affect? Is it as addictive as a benzo? Anybody else using this for sleep?
I have fibro too, so a muscle relaxant might not be a bad idea either.
Thanks!
