Flexeril and hydrocodone taken together

Common Questions and Answers about Flexeril and hydrocodone taken together

flexeril

i remember reading on this site a year or so ago all the posts about tramadol and getting hooked on it and that is when i realized i just needed to dispose of all of them, all together. but like i said to the original poster - going from hydrocodone to tramadol is merely subbing one pain pill for another.

Also, after my accident I had the most painful muscle spasms of my life and the dr gave me Flexeril. Flexeril is technically a tri-cyclic antidepressant but it works better than any muscle relaxer I've ever tried. They are also just about the only meds that make me tired. So I would recommend telling your doctor about them and asking what he knows. If he doesn't know about them I would think about getting a second opinion-maybe from a pain specialist. Sorry to go on so long.

i do have some good herbs and 5htp and multi vits which i havent taken yet. can 5htp be taken with nuerontin? should i just stick with the nurontin? sorry for rambling but thats what i do......thanks all and hello from the depths of despair and dopesickness. much love to all.....

what I meant was that I have tried many many times to get off oxycontin but I can not, I truly can not, I have gone 11 days only to get worse as each day go by, I know I have alot of phsyical issues, but the stomach pain I have just can not be from w/d alone, it just can not be,I literaly can lose almost 10 pounds when I try, I know I have stomach ailments (ulcers ect) but the pain is unbearable when I don't have pain meds, I have been addicted to pain meds longer than I can remember (i'm 46 now

hydrocodone and 200mg motrin-the equivalent of one advil) If you want off of opiates all together you might try some muscle relaxants like flexeril or probably something stronger for your pain or neurontin which acts more on the nerves than the brain and spine. And please be VERY careful with xanax. If you thought withdrawal from hydrocodone was bad multiply that by about 100 and you'[ll be close. Not many are aware but xanax withdrawal is more dangerous than even herion withdrawal.

one of the lesser problematic muscle relaxers available. Didnt work well enough for me....I use flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) now and its both a lttle more effective and hard to have an addiction problem with.

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 you that is what matters. In my opinion too often chronic pain sufferers are not prescribed medications that can control their pain due to the fear of addiction or abuse.

Vitamin B, Imodium, etc… Mainly the sleep part needs attention. I have taken muscle relaxers Flexeril, and in the past I had Xanax and I hate putting things in my body, but as I am sure you can understand I get desperate. I am also taking Tylenol, Aspirin etc…and am really watching my dosage but it gets hard to control sometimes (controlling the dosages taking a few extra a day than the recommended amount) I know that a lot of things can have adverse reaction both supplements and prescription.

5 mg increase of hydrocodone but had you have stayed with the 5/500 pill, you could have taken two to get a 5 mg increase of hydrocodone. If you are still in a lot of pain then I would encourage you to ask for an increase in pain medication. I do find it odd that your doctor would make the change that he did by giving you more Tylenol. Really the next step for you is to switch to Norcos, they come in 5/325 and 10/325 strengths.

Teamed the Ultram up with Tylenol and I didn't notice a huge difference either. I have tried Celebrex (nothing), Flexeril (knocks me out), Soma (works ok, but off and on), Zanaflex (horrible reaction, seeing black, similar to low blood pressure). Methocarbamol (sp?) worked out, not so much help with the muscle, but did help a little with sleep. My Ultram ranges from 2 to 6 tabs a day. I am 100 lbs so if I take 2 too late in the afternoon I get "buzzed".

Studies and research has found that the severity and length od withdrawal is directly related to the amount of the drug and how long it was taken. Since you are at a steady dose of two a day, your body is getting its endorphind from the pills and still producing some of its own natural endorphins. The more you increase the dose, the less of your natural endorphins your body produces.

I've read many of the posts and they have led me to reconsider using my hydrocodone. I have minor back pain, and have been taking it for about 15 months. I take 7.5mg 5 times per day. Today is day 1 of quitting cold turkey. I don't have pills left to taper, and I just want to get off it. Most of the time I take it because it prevents any pain...including headaches and any other aches. Sometimes, to improve my mood and make me more social. I take 10mg of Lexapro a day for anxiety.

Both my boyfriend and I are addicted to hydrocodone. We are trying to kick the habit right now. I've come to find out that my boyfriend was also taking OxyContin and snorting and chewing his pills. My question....will it take him longer to withdraw than me (who has only swallowed my pills)? I've been on them approximately 5 years straight and until now had been taking about 10-12 a day of the 10/650.

went to PCP put on round of prednisone, flexeril, hydrocodone. off work for 2 weeks. scalding pain left inside thigh lasted 3 days jerking left leg when standing, walking. spasms daily but also cam be severe spasm that lasts a week at a time. right face and head crawling bugs feeling 2 days and now numbness and feels like have half a helmet on. increased difficulty climbing 9 steps to apt. increased total exhaustion with walking only a very short distance.

I had my baby the next day and went through some serious physical therapy and was prescribed hydrocodone and flexeril for 7 mo. til I moved here! IEven after the 7mo. it wasnt "My Addiction" my addiction was meth. We moved here where I dont know anyone and all my family is 1300 miles away so all the hookups were gone and I kicked the meth addiction without complications and withdrawls. But soon i started "Dr.

I'm nervous about the switch, I've never taken percocet before. I know it's suppose to be 1.5 times stronger than norco, but I know some people feel norco relieves their pain better. If I feel that way, my doctor should switch me back right? I also am nervous about how percocet will make me feel, I'm a mom and I work, I can't be feeling "high" all day.

Hi all- Yes, a newbie to posting to anything. Anyway, I've come to terms that I do have a prescriptin drug problem. It started out legit, like most of you where I asked for something for anxiety. Prescribed Zanax, .25 mg x 2 a day. Didn't seem to take the edge off, so I increased the dosage myself. Before long, I continued to increase and shopped for other docs that would prescribe extra. After a year and 1/2, I was up to close to 10 pills a day.

I have some pain meds from other periods of time that I have not taken, but feel now that I need to use them. I have both hydrocodone (Vicodin) and oxycodone (Percocet), and have only used them when it was necessary, because they have always made me nauseous. I have cut them all in half to take them, and know that I need to take them with food, and just before I lie down for the night. Could I be addicted to my pain medication?

He even had me take Neurontin and Flexeril together at night and pain bad enough I couldn't sleep well. As for flares I hurt 24/7 (badly enough to really limit my activity) but sometimes get so bad I can't get out of bed (guess flare is when you can't get out of bed). Then I am really in the soup as being in bed makes muscles and even skin hurt. I hope ya'll are doing better. My prayers are with ya'll. I still think it is progressive only they won't tell us for some reason.

ranging from percocet, vicodin, skelaxin, flexeril, methadone, valium, xanax etc. My problem is with the narcs. I seemed to have kicked the methadone problem with the help of percs and vics. My problem has consisted of anywhere from 8-15 oxycodone's or hydrocodone's per day. Now I have 18 vicodin left and I'm trying to figure out how to do this without going thru the cold sweats, diarrhea, RLS, etc.

I was told that Gabapentin and Hydrocodone can make you loopy so be careful when you take them if you take them together. YES I only have 1 more week tomorrow and believe me I am looking so forward to this appt to see what happens. This board has a great group of people on it and that is why I stay here to get some advice and they keep me going.

Sounds like you have a bit more shopping to do ;o) Ibuprofen and Tylenol is great stuff and can be taken together because they have different actions to mediate pain. It's always good to talk with a doctor as I can't give specific advise on dosages. If you have acid reflux or stomache ulcers then Ibuprofen is not for you. Tylenol has a max dose of 4000 mg for people without liver problems. Getting baseline bloodwork is always a good idea. Flexeril doesn't work for everyone.

I noticed that the valium works a lot better than the Flexeril for muscle tightness and spasm but take the Flexeril away, and muscle tightness returns so I think taking the two together produces a synergistic effect. Additionally, triggerpoint injections may be helpful in relieving the muscle tightness you are experiencing. Have those been offered to you yet? I haven't had them yet but I am looking to try them in the future.

I'm going to start in the morning by calling the Rheumy and telling him that the Ultram ER is not working The pharmacist called me earlier and told me to make sure I called my internist tomorrow morning because The Zoloft and the Ultram can not be taken together. She scared me to death and I promised her that I would not take the Ultram until I called my internist. I asked her if I could take the Lorcet 10/650 with the Zoloft and she said that I could.

I'm hoping it will be soon , see where I'm at the specialist is like 100 miles away and that's hard with no car , i was on the cymbalta for 3 and a half months , it messed with my mind so bad i became violent, and almost got arrested, not a good thing , spent a week in physic ward to help with the switch which was not good, i like the lyrica it works but we were in the process of upping dose's i was getting samples from the old doc while i was taking flexeril and hydrocodone , because with th

has never done drugs and he was interested in ME? We ended up getting together and married..even tho he knew I took lortab.. he didn't know how bad I was because I hid it. By this time I'm up to 30mg every 3 1/2 hours... (150mg) per day. It was so easy to get my hands on lortab.. it was pretty much handed to me.. then family member recently started getting cut off.. and I've been buying them.. we've had our water shut off a few times.. just flat out have struggled due to my addiction.

I'm on xanax xr 3mg which is time released and seems to not do much, flexeril (this does nothing for my muscle and joint pain) and for my blood pressure I'm taking Clonodine which works for the hot and cold sweats. I've tried benadryl and that does nothing. I was told this could last up to 3 months. I wish I would have just went into a detox center for heroin instead of going to the methadone clinic. I don't even have the energy to walk.

I also take Neurontin and Flexeril .I spoke with her the last visit I had earlier this month and she is pretty adamant about keeping me on this .She usually will alternate with a different med every 2 mos but when she gave me Percocet 7.5 s they made me so ill I could not take them so I have not alternated .I know what you mean about it could be so much worse .I feel like I am being a big baby but I can't seem to put the brakes on my state of mind .I feel like I am losing my mind .

Man I was a competitive martial artist before and really like bjj too, it makes me sad to think how drugs have taken that away from me.
