flexeril

Neurontin (although I'm actually off it now) Domperidone (although I only take this when it's actually needed for nausea) flexeril (I am supposed to take 1 at night, but I only take it when I need it) Naproxen (I am not actually taking it, just have it incase I need it, rx'ed 2x a day) Xanax (only taking when needed) Good grief, I'm gonna be called a drug pusher pretty soon! LOL My spirits are pretty good today, but I am having vertigo.

My dog is having serious trouble breathing. I am sure it is an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>canan>cer but he an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>canan>'t lay down and breath. an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>canan> I an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>givean> him flexeril to help him sleep?

It was worse today, so I doubled his meloxicam. Would it be okay to an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>givean> him 5 milligrams of flexeril? He is 90 lbs. Last examined June 13 by vet.

I purchased a dog from a pet farm, so it would not be used for money again last night. It kept holding up its R leg. Today it jumped off the couch and cried out in pain. Now it will not put any weight on the leg, and it holds it out in a spasm with any movement. an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>canan> I an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>givean> it some flexeril and prednisone til the am when I take it to my Vet? What other comfort measures an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>canan> i take? Should I take it to the emergency vet an hour away?

Wellbutrin XL300 mg daily, flexeril 10 mg q HS, naproxyn or ibuprofen sporadically. Vitamins and supplements sporadically. Non meat eater. Moderate exercise and work entire life. Never smoked, ETOH 1-2 glasses of wine a week. For the past 5 months I have noticed increasing lower extremity weakness (Right greater than Left) with knees buckling with no warning and falls. Gait has now deteriorated and I have foot drop and hip flexor weakness. I an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>canan>not run or perform RaM.

Shell gave an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan> vvery good feedback on the baclofen and flexeril. I have taken both and think Shell is right about how an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan> an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>canan> benefit more quickly with the flexeril whereas the baclofen takes longer. I did not have sedating effects with baclofen either and that would have been my drug of choice if I weren't allergic to it. It is definitely worth trying. Now if an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan> are trying to decide when and what drug to start taking, first decide how much problems an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan> are having with the spasms.

I know I'm no doctor but a pain like this lasting 4 weeks is not normal. She prescribed me to Immtrex and flexeril. I've been taking the flexeril three times a day since and it's helped some but only at the times I take it. I'm iffy on the Immtrex, I took it for a headache I was getting and it made my heart pound in my chest. I've searched the web up and down and the way I'm feeling leads me to whiplash however I haven't suffered any neck trauma, it all developed after a migraine.

The pain would cause muscles in my legs to spasm. Lovely. Just lovely. So he prescribed Naproxen and flexeril. I have opted not to take the naproxen for now, and the flexeril is just once at night. If nothing else it helps me sleep. Thankfully, I have an appointment with the Urologist for a pelvic and renal ultrasound next week, if there is any problems with my kidneys I should find out then. another problem is severe anxiety about one thing I used to LOVE....thunder storms.

I take 400 mgs. of Lyrica. It has helped a great deal with the bone pain, burning and some of the numbing sensations. The muscle pain is increasing...maybe because of the weather,so I'm not sure if the lyrica has helped that at all. Good luck to an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan>! and may we all have our lives back soon!

I take Paxil, Lithium, flexeril, Oxycodone, Prevacid, Xanax. The last visit was Thurs and I took my boyfriend with me because the Dr intimidates me. I said I need to know my options. My pain meds are not working like they use to. I have taking the same dose for year and a half. The Dr in Pa where I moved from wanted to put me on Fentanyl Patches so I would have longer relieve. I said no I didn't want anything stronger. Well now I need something different.

I have posted previously but had a new question. I was injured several times 1. dog attached by least to pants pulled me forward. 2. PT was doing a manual adjustment did wrong leg and caused major pain, sat too much. 3. was laying on bed with knees bent and left knee fell out to left side (free fall) and I felt a tear but don't know if there was. I have had chronic pain since in one spot on my low back near the L5-S1 area on the buttock sort of near the SI joint.

In total, for the Ra/aS I am on Omniprazole (to protect my stomache), plaquenil (helps with Ra and mitigates some of the collateral damage from MTX), naproxen, methotrexate, folic acid (reduces the side effects of MTX), Leucovorin (anti-dote to MTX taken 24 hrs after the weekly injection), Darvocet (for pain) and either Zanaflex or flexeril (flexeril at night as it passes me out cold.) Never mind the other rx for other ailments! Hang in there while they get it all worked out!

I have had fibromyalgia and take "flexeril" aKa "Cyclobenzaprine". Ever since being on these pills, my whole life had changed. Before the meds I couldn't even walk a block, the pain was so bad. I remember the days where I couldnt sit, stand or lay down. I an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>canan> relate so much to an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan>r pain, and I feel for ya! I have also seen a Doctor who recommended doing Tai Chi, as it relaxes the mind, body and soul..... which is supposed to help with pain management.

I an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>canan> completely relate - I wake up in the morning and pretty much my whole lower back is locked up, and sometimes my ribs get that way too and I find it hard to breathe. My lower back pain an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>canan> actually get worse when I try to "walk it off" . I walk my dogs as soon as I am able to in the morning, and it's an agonizing 1-2 block walk, I an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>canan>'t do more then that.

Hey man, an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan> an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>canan> do this. another few days and an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan>'ll be feeling a lot better. The feeling scared etc. is just the addiction, it'll be gone in a few more days. By Friday an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan>'ll be feeling a lot better and by the Friday after that an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan>r physical withdrawals will be gone. Take some benadryl or nyquil at night, it helps a little. The thing to keep in mind is that every minute an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan> get through means one minute less of wd's to deal with. Just push through it.

See if an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan>r doctor an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>canan> write an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan> a prescription for some Requip for restlessness, Neurontin is a great help for anxiety and malaise, some flexeril or Soma for a few weeks for muscle spasms and maybe some Seroquel low dose for sleep. Clonidine regulates blood pressure, creepy-crawly feeling and will make withdrawals easier. Valerian and Magnesium is sometimes helpful remedies over the counter for mild sedation, sleep and muscle relaxation.

if an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan> could get a weeks vacation, that would be suggested. if not,tell an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan> are sick as a dog or an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan> got food poisoning.......what ever. the first week is going to be hell, the second not as bad,third things are some what back to normal. I think I came up with ten wd symptoms, that occur.some take it better than others.........it explains why people relapse,because it sux bad and takes a long time to get back to normal.

I scrub my arms as fast and as hard as I an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>canan> while showering. I have also gone to other extreme measures...like a dog brush. It didnt do a very good job. a meat tenderizer, if the blades stayed out it might have been effective. I have thought about sand paper. REaLLY! I literally dig my arms bloody. I always have scabs along with many scars. On top of being miserable it is embarrassing. I am thankful for all these comments and remedies. I do have bulging discs in the c5-6 ad c6-7.

after 3 months I went to 4, 7.5 Lortab for awhile with flexeril. It seems like Drs try to get an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan> hooked. Over the years he said I think the flexeril is making an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan> depressed, I want an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan> to try something else. He prescribed 4, 350 Soma. I never took 4 a day. I was up to 3 a day for awhile. Then he kept wanting to put me on Zoloft or something. Finally I told him "Doc, I will never take those crazy pills so stop asking. He said If I an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>givean> an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan> Valium would an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan> take it?

right now I have fear, of the unknown, of having to put my little dog down, of where i'll live. I also know to only do the next right thing and good orderly direction. Change happens. finding out this morning that my job will end on june 30th, I think I've handled everything well. but fear is there and starting to get to me. knowing something isn't always enough to calm the fear.

Well, the tramadol do NOTHING FOR HER aT aLL! She was even able to take the 4-50mg tabs per day.. She was also precribed flexeril(muscle relaxer) and those have been helping alot with the knots in her neck.. So she is going to call the DR office tomarrow and let her know that the Tramadol and amatryptiline are doing nothing to help, but the flexeril is helping.. I aLWaYS nag at her and say "do those make an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan> feel good?

I was up and around cooking, cleaning, on my computer and outside with the dogs. One last benefit. It is an anti-seizure med that blocks.the pain.signals and relaxes the nerves. an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan> won't have to worry about having a seizure. Good luck to an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan>. I hope an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan> find relief soon. This drug for me worked.immediately so maybe an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan> coild get a sample from an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan>r dr.

Hi Dylan, although Tramadol has addictive qualities it is still not considered an opiate. That may change in the future. Most physician are more comfortable prescribing it than an opiate. If it works for an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>youan> that is what matters. In my opinion too often chronic pain sufferers are not prescribed medications that an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>canan> control their pain due to the fear of addiction or abuse.

Like right now I have been up for 3 hours and I dont have any leg pain at all and a TINY amount of back and shoulder pain/tension. I have taken No Percocet today and only Taken 10 mg of flexeril which I use for my muscle relaxer cus my shoulders have huge knots in them. On top of that I had my 3rd session of accupuncture on friday....I hope these good results are here to stay! I feel good!!

I have been using the Fioricet for pain in general and it has worked better than anything else I have ever taken (flexeril, Baclofen, Ibuprofen 800, Tylenol w/Codeine). I usually need pain meds roughly 3-4 days a week. My dr. is willing to prescribe Fioricet but concerned about addiction/building up tolerance. So far I have not noticed any problems, no need for more pills. I usually take only one pill on the days I use it.

I have been an style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>givean>n tegretol, buspar, ativan, wellbutrin, pristique, baclofen, flexeril, vicodin, and a whole host of other meds. They keep saying I am depressed and anxious...well wouldnt anyone if their life changed this signifian style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>canan>tly? I am a nurse by trade, I am not ignorant to health issues and my symptoms are more than real. I rarely feel the parathesias the last two weeks. Mild spasms in my left foot and calf only now. Fatigue is still unbelievable.

I have been diagnosed with chronic myofascial pain syndrome and have had an MRI and bone san style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>canan> and both were negativo. I had an injury from my dog originally (tied her to my belt loop and yes she yanked me, duh), then I got over this in about 7 months and had a year and a half with no pain then I did a twist in yoga and felt pain in the same area. I then went to physical therapy and ended up really injured twice by two difference PT's.

i am 34 years old white male whos been in two major wrecks and have fallen off a couple of roofs in the past 10 yrs while working and had an incident where i ingested anti-freeze due to an accident my question is with all these said things that happened to me and my symptoms im having now is bizarre i have been taking flexeril 10 mg 3 times a day which is a muscle relaxer.
