antidepressants, and some of those drugs do appear in breast

Medications That Affect Flexeril: Flexeril is
chemically related to the tricyclic class of antidepressants
(e.g. amitriptyline, Elavil; nortriptyline, Pamelor). As
such, it should not be taken with or within two weeks of any
monoamine oxidase inhibitor, for example, isocarboxazid (Marplan),
phenelzine (Nardil), tranylcypromine (Parnate), and
procarbazine (Matulane). High fever, convulsions and even
death can occur when these drugs are used together.
Additionally, Flexeril interacts with other medications and
drugs that slow the brain's processes, such as alcohol,
barbiturates, benzodiazepines (e.g. lorazepam, Ativan), and
narcotics.

you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next
