• Antiparkinsonian medications (medications used for Parkinson's disease inhibitors of MAO: rasagilina, selegilina); antidepressants (inhibitors of MAO:tranilcipromina, moclobemida); analgesics (tramadol); antibacterials (linezolid), because they may produce increased blood pressure or severe convulsions if taken with cyclobenzaprine.

• These medications mayproduce tachycardia or arrhythmias if taken with cyclobenzaprine:
