flexeril

Avatar f tn Before getting pregnant i was taking tramadol and flexeril to take the edge off if my jaw started locking up. Now my ob just has me on the lowest dose of flexeril but it seems to do nothing for it. Just 10 more weeks though i think i can make it if i've gotten this far.
Avatar n tn I'm worried! My fiancee' has been prescribed Tramadol, which worked very well for him but he has gone through 40 pills in 10 days and the way his dr. wrote his script it says "use 1-2 tablets every 8 hours as needed" so he cannot get a refill for another 2 weeks. He saw a local dr. who prescribed Flexeril, Percocet and Naproxen.
Avatar n tn My husband is on so many medications, that i am truly worried about his health and the interaction of all these drugs. I will list them all and can you please tell me if they are safe to take with one another? My husband is only 38, he had a stroke last year he had a stent put in, now he is on plavix, atenolol, hydrochlorothiazide 25mg, last week his doc added niacin 500 mg, simvastatin 20, flexeril and tramadol, also his one aspirin each day, these are just so many meds, are they safe?
217599 tn?1202850952 I was taking 2 in the AM and 2 in the PM....so, I guess thats 200mgs a day? I have to agree with avis though. If you know you have a tendency for addiction, just don't take it. I'm still trying to shake the effects that tramadol did to my brain. Flexeril was actually really good for the type of pain I had, but it made me really tired (like, I took 1, I think they were 10mgs, and I would fall fast asleep).
1653969 tn?1390331661 The instant sleep thing will go away after you establish a routine with it. Wish that I could really help you - but yours isnt a common complaint with flexeril. Do you do any breathing exercises? A couple of minutes of tai chi and meditation and particularly the breathing exercises are very valid therapies.
1466164 tn?1301201816 It is important that you be honest with him so he can help you the right way. Withdrawals can be tough but we get through them. Switching from one pill to another is like switching from Jack Daniels to beer. It still gets me drunk. There's lots of great folk here that can give you good suggestions. Stick around and check the place out. Good luck!!
1069827 tn?1296650628 Problem though is sleepy, loopy minded, and balance is bad. If you do not have stomach problems Flexeril might help you if you take several doses daily. Can cause sleepiness, loopy mind, and balance problems but not nearly as bad as Lyrica. Check with your dr and see.
Avatar f tn Hi! What you need to do is talk with your doctor. Do you have an OB/GYN yet? If not, you need to get one, and in the meantime talk with your regular doctor who prescribes for your FM. You will need to be very careful since you are pregnant!
Avatar f tn well its normal to build a tolerance to all drugs you take regularly for pain, and tramadol and flexeril are pretty weak (IMO) to help disc pain. I know they never did a thing for my back pain, it was like taking a sugar pill. If you do get switched to another medicine , you should be aware that you need to taper off the tramadol since youve been on it daily for quite a long time.
Avatar f tn I voted 5-10 but I don't take meds specifically prescribed for fibro. They are for the stuff that goes along with it.... singulair, xyzal, omnaris (chemical sensitivities and regular allergies) synthroid topamax (migraines) wellbutrin After being seriously overmedicated for 4 years before my dx....I'm also very careful about what meds I take and how they interact. I didn't have any luck with flexeril, amitriptyline or cymbalta. I took vioxx for years and felt great on it....
5203459 tn?1373367904 I would ask your doc or pharmacist. Perhaps you would do okay with an Effexor increase? How long have you been on it, and what dose do you take?
Avatar f tn I was given flexeril and tramadol for muscle spasms due to herniated discs. The tramadol did nothing for the pain, I was able to receive some relief from motrin instead. I can't take stronger opioids because they make me nauseous. Morphine doesn't work for me either. Are the two medications related?
Avatar n tn re not a doctor, and I would guess therefore not a specialist on these medications, but with that title featured so prominently on your moniker people might take you as an expert. It would be nice to know exactly what you do so people can take you or leave you as they do the rest of us who don't list our titles on here.
511488 tn?1214620496 If you are unsure if your med is an SSRI, ask your pharmacist (many anti-depressants are). They is a contraindication with these two meds., if you take them together, you will almost always develop what is called serotonin syndrome. In short, it causes a build up of serotonin in the brain and can lead to headaches/migraines, seizures and even death. Please be careful if you use tramadol either necessarily or recreationally.
Avatar m tn Hi agirl27. I know your pain. I'm tapering off norco right now. I have never taken tramadol before and I'm not sure what it is. I know how it is to take anything to get out of withdrawl pain. It sure is something terrible to go thru. I was also taking 7-8 10mg norco a day. I've tried cold turkey before and just can't seem to get through it. My doc put me on it 2 yrs ago when my youngest was born due to pregnancy complications. Anyway long story short I became addicted to it.
Avatar f tn The dosages were upped until reaching norco 10/325. 4 per day. This with Tramadol 300. Within the last year I have had to add flexeril multiple times per day as well as gabapentin multiple times per day. As if this wasnt enough i have severe RLS but the meds made me VERY sick so dr upped my xanax rx to help with sleep because of the RLS. I first stopped the tramadol, 1 1/2 weeks later I stopped the gabapentin and then a few days later the flexeril.
1943759 tn?1324045251 s and get a muscle relaxant like Flexeril. If it only lasts for a few days you can have him take Tramadol or Vicadin (but only for a few days). If the pain is there for long perioids of time then drugs that help neuropathies like neurontin or Lyrica may help. I don't usually recommend physical therapy but after the has gone down and if it is disk decompression there are some stretching exercises he can do daily that will help with the decompression.
Avatar n tn You should call your pharmacist. That's what they are there for and it's free.
Avatar f tn You can try an otc med called percogesic that contains tylenol with an antihistamine.How long ago did you stop taking tramadol because it also causes a rebound pain that will subside .I have rheumatoid arthritis and take extrastrength tylenol and ibuprofen,alternating and it seems to help my pain during the day.None of these drugs are heavy duty but they seem to do it for me.
