Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Flexiril is not advisable to be taken with amitryptilline. So its better to shift to drugs like thioclchicoside 4 mg twice daily or a single sustained release tab of 8 mg once daily. Combinations come with relatively safe drugs like aceclofenac 200 mg or diclofenac sodium 50 or 75 mg combinations.

Wish you good health.
