Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

Cyclobenzaprine will improve your symptoms with minimal side effects including:
- Blurred vision
- Dizziness, drowsiness, or lightheadedness
- Dryness of the mouth
- Tachycardia

Since you aren't taking any medication (apart from tylenol) there's no risk of drug interaction.
ope this will be of great help!
Wish you health!
