Common Questions and Answers about Difference between skelaxin and soma

skelaxin

Even if you give each one enough time, each person needs a different medicine. Muscle relaxers like Skelaxin don't work on me, so I'm on an arthritis oral medicine, Voltaren, twice a day and I take flexeril (cyclobenzaprene) in the evening to help me sleep. I also take a multivitamin, fish oil and calcium+D.
Ok guys, I have 30 Soma put back, when I start my tapering, do you think I will be safe?? Thanks for everything!
I am taking 800 mg of motrin and soma both of these 3x a day. I really don't want to take tylenol seeing how I abused the hydro I need to give the liver a break, ya know.....
I forgot to mention Soma..They just make me tired..
And then I'd be freaked out about how I was gonna get through the other 14 days. Also, how many times have you run short in between your RX's? The answers to those questions could probably tell you if you're addicted. As addicts we can fool ourselves into believing almost anything to justify why we have to take them. I think it's actually a bit harder for those of us who started out taking them for actual pain cause we could simply say "Well I'm being prescribed these by my doctor.
I believe him on an individual basis, but I am taking one muscle relaxer for AM skelaxin, one PM soma, thyroid, quiniline, hydrocodone, imitrex,and Ibuprofen. I also take a stjohns wart complex in place of an antidepressant. I know that in the presence of so many meds a reaction is possible. Now my doctor wants to add another one for the tremors. I have always had normal bp and am concerned on more than one level about another med. He said I have benign et, but this is new for me.
Can someone give me some advice here? Should I flush these Skelaxin and/or Tramadol immediately? Why does Soma have such a bad reputation, yet the doctor is so willing to put me on something that may alternately make me worse in the long run? Is there such a stigmata on prescribing pain meds that these doctors would rather give you something that they are aware could cause furthur problems just to avoid a bad rap? To put it mildly, I'm pissed off.
It helps a little for the body shocks and spasms but personally I don't think it is worth the speed affect for me. Your body might take it differently than mine. I would see maybe if your Dr had some samples to try first! I do recommend the O2 for anyone that has cluster HA's .
