cut flexeril in half

I would take it at the last resort and probably cut it in half as well.....I'm low tolerance to medicine and I don't normally take to much medicine at that! I have many times cut the flexeril into 4s and taken enough to help me relax and get some decent sleep.

No I didnt want to take any pain meds, try a hot water bottle, or a warm bath first if it doesnt help then speak to your doc about what is safe!

I've had some suggestions to cut the pills in half, but I have capsules, not tablets and they cannot be cut in half. What should I do??

Does anyone know very much about Flexeril? I just received an call from someone that thinks they may have overdosed on it. He usually does not take it and took up to ten 10mg tablets today and feels somewhat out of it. 100mg in one shot shouldn't do too much should it? He is in No. CA and I'm in So. CA so I can't get to him. Should I be concerned about him not waking up? Apparently he took six of them yesterday and I read the half life is 1-3 days.

There are no adequate studies on the use of Flexeril in pregnant women. It is not known if Flexeril is secreted in milk. However, because Flexeril is related to tricyclic antidepressants and some of these are excreted in breast milk, caution is advised in nursing mothers.

Isn't Opana Time Released? I know you're the doctor, but I don't think you should inform people to cut their medications in half, ESPECIALLY if they're time released as this could cause a rapid release of all the medication in turn making her more sick, or am I wrong?

Yes, my pill can be split in half. I don't have a pill spliter, so I am wondering if I can use a knife to cut it. I already cut it actually and it split right in half. My pill has a "divit" like a divider already so it cut very easily.

I have a question, I took a drug screen but I took flexeril, will flexeril make you fail a drug screen. Anyone that can help me I will be ever so greatful!!!

Hey all, Hope everyones holiday weekend was fab:) My pain doc prescribed some Flexeril for me today. I'm excited because it's non-narcotic and I'd rather just keep away from the any narcs. But my little(yeah, right)fear of medication is getting to me. I relaized the muscle relaxants might help because as soon as I started ambien my pain decreased some.

how can i get through the withdrawls without problems? I have tramadol and flexeril to help is that good? plz help me. if i continue to take this i am afraid its going to kill me.

I wanted to know if I can cut the pills in half. Would taking 250mg. be as effective? All the symptoms of my uti are gone. I was supposed to take the pills for 7 days and I stopped after 4 because of side effects.

Hi Tuckamore, FYI, I went to the doctor yesterday and he said Flexeril is known to cause skipping heart beats and other problems like that and I have to go off of it tonight. So, I went off the Flexeril last night and has some trouble sleeping but took an antihistamine and I seem to be doing ok today. So, far my heartbeat is better. I hope that does the trick. I looked up the side effects of Flexeril and <1% get the arhythimias and so I guess I'm in the 1% as usual.

Hi there. I was prescribed flexeril today for some back pain. Can anyone tell me exactly what it is? If it is addicting? Will it make me sleepy/hyper, etc?

Metoprolol 25 mg. Does it make a difference in what I'm taking, wether I can cut in half or not? The PA knows what I am taking and he told me just to cut it.

Hi again has anyone tried Flexeril (muscle relaxant)? Any bad side effects and did it help pain , I have I guess myofascial pain. Any trouble with withdrawal gettnig off of it?

I thought the same thing. I felt to weird and I am going to take .5 for a few days then cut that in half for a few days and then take away one more half for a few more days till I'm off then I will do the muscle relaxer. Unless someone else tells me it's ok to do the xanax at dinner and the muscle relaxer at bed. Regardless I will ween off the xanax and not just stop it. I took half tonight and didn't notice anything as far as even feeling relaxed.

Hi for almost a year I’ve been having several symptoms that I now believe point to serotonin syndrome. Excessive sweating in normal temperatures, tremors, IBS, tachycardia & many more. All started after starting adderall, shortly after my dose was upped on that & depakote upped. Also take trazodone, gabapentin & flexeril & melatonin. Taking 2 of these or more can cause it.. Anyone w/ info or experience?

t lie still in the bed. My doctor had prescribed me Soma for muscle spasm which I had been taking 1 each night before bedtime. Its a great relaxant but I cut them out too (completely) when I started tapering off the Roxicet. Would it be ok to take one at bedtime to help with the sleeplessness or am I backsliding? Is a muscle relaxer considered as bad as a narcodic?

Flexeril causes sleepyness, feeling drowsy, cloudyness... It usually is not one to be abused. Generally with spinal injuries, or neurosurgery, if a patient is looking at back surgery Flexeril (muscle relaxers) and Vicodin (pain killers) are the main medications used to help with the pain. If he has chopped the pills up, then he's most likely NOT abusing them. The reason I say this is because he would be taking several pills WHOLE.

Your body wants the meds to do the work but it will subside. Get Ibuprophin or Flexeril if it helps. Good luck in your recovery.

I take a very low dose of flexeril at night (I cut the smallest available tabs in half), and I have robaxin for the day if I need it, which doesn't knock me flat. You might also want to consult with someone in physical medicine and rehabilitation or a pain specialist. They tend to be much more knowledgeable about the management of chronic pain and musculoskeletal injuries. Please let me know how things turn out, and feel free to PM me if you want to talk more about it.
