No, Physical withdrawal is your body trying to adjust to not having certain chemicals in your system. Adding more drugs, unless they are of the same family, will not help. The best you could hope for with flexeril is that it will make you tired or possible help you sleep through some of the withdrawal symptoms. I would not suggest this course of action.
The better way to go would be to see an addiction specialist that can taper the intake of that substance
