1735730 tn?1348952972 what is the difference between flexaril 10 and zanaflex 4 Is if safe to convert from one to the other?
Avatar n tn No added interaction. Make sure to bring full list of all medications your husband is on to each doctor's appointment as he may see more than one prescriber and make sure to show that list to them each time they consider prescribing new medications. Jennifer R RPH www.drugstore.
751951 tn?1406632863 Hi, PD. It's good scientific method to cut out one thing at a time. If you deleted both, how would you know which one it was? Assuming it was one of them, that is. Maybe you just need a different *type* of med. Baclofen rather than Flexeril, for example. I think you're wise to do what you're doing for now, and see what happens. You can always add the other again, and if horrors occur, you'll know.
Avatar f tn There is a risk of serious interaction between lithium and lexapro. I will send you the information.
Avatar m tn Hi, I was on Lexapro 10mg for about 3 weeks and my doctor up my dose to 20mg. The last 2 days, I've had a headache off and on. I had a headache off and on for the first week when I took the 10mg and then it went away. I know headache is a common side effect but was wondering what I could take for it? I read that ibuprofen and asprin can cause interactions. Are the interactions for people that take a lot or what? Thanks for the help.
1046692 tn?1255391835 PLEASE READ THE ADVICE FROM RCA7591 VERY CAREFULLY AND DO NOTHING UNTIL YOU'VE DISCUSSED THIS WITH YOUR DOCOTR(S) IF IT WAS THE SAME DOCTOR WHO PUT YOU ON LEXAPRO AND THEN PRESCRIBED IMETREX..........HE/SHE IS A MORON AND I'D FIND A NEW DOCTOR...........STAT! THIS KIND OF MISTAKE IS UNACCEPTABLE.
1401023 tn?1280781358 t you call you Pharmacist and tell them what happened and ask them about the Flexeril and see what they think about it. Whether or not it JUST caused this by itself OR if it interacted with something else that you are taking. Curious about what you find out.....
Avatar f tn Alcohol and antidepressants should not be mixed. I'm sure you already know this. Many of these meds go through the liver and so does alcohol. Are you feeling alright? Have you been feeling sick?
Avatar f tn Has anyone experienced breathing problems with Zoloft. Youknow, the "I can't quite catch my breath" feeling. And if you yawn you finally get enough air. My heart and lungs have checked out fine. Other than that , I feel much better for since being on it for 2weeks. Also, any thoughts on the sucess of other meds besides zoloft? Prozac? Lexapro?
Avatar n tn I can tell you one thing - my psychologist told me that depression and anxiety and lack of sleep can, themselves, SEVERELY affect memory. I also take Ambien to help with sleeping and one of its potential side effects is also memory issues.
Avatar m tn Flexeril and soma are both muscle relaxers....doesn't seem as if teking both each day would be of any benefit...flexeril is the safer of the two as far as addiction....there are some warnings posted as far as anti-depressents and some of the aminos...I was on lexapro (anti-depressent) during detox...nuerontin, I also take flexeril rarely but it can help you sleep..I followed the recipe without difficulty...
Avatar m tn Hi, For years I've been on 20 mg Lexapro. I never had ED, but it often took me a long time to climax during sex. My doctor and I decided to try switching to Wellbutrin (mostly because we thought it might help improve motivation). I'm still in the process of switching over -- cutdown from 20mg Lexapro to 10mg, and I'm now on 200mg Wellbutrin taken twice a day (400 mg total). The depression symptoms are handled fine and I think there is increased motivation.
Avatar n tn I am on 20mg of Lexapro and 30mg of Remeron. Was on 10mg Lexapro and 45mg Remeron, but the weight gain is very real so I am attempting to get off the Remeron. When I asked what I could add to the Lexapro (since I have treatment resistant depression) I was told Seroquil might be a good addition. Sometimes I'm not sure if my doctor really knows what he's talking about. I don't want to gain weight on Seroquil after finally getting off Remeron.
Avatar f tn I take Toprol for high blood pressure and I checked some drug interaction websites and they advise that Paxil and Toprol can have some kind of interaction with your heart so I'm thinking I have to use a different anxiety/anti-depressant medication or else switch my high blood pressure medication. I have a call into my doctor about the BP meds but I was wondering if anyone has any good experiences or recommendations as to a good anxiety medication.
751951 tn?1406632863 ve been on Amantadine several weeks and it seems to help a lot with energy and stamina. Last three days I have taken one Flexeril at bedtime. Since.Tuesday, ic, likeI'm voice issue very sporadic "frozen in place" trouble with my tongue. Split second and I was back to normal. Now tonight it's intensified, and almost every sentence. Has an episode. At dinner, Nancy first heard it Before my second course is half gone, I have very shaky jandds and hkunbs.
1082885 tn?1256244474 I was not told of a specific connective tissue disease. However, the doctor stated that it would reduce my chance of having lupus in the future (or something to that affect). So, actually, I'd like to get off plaquenil for a while. I'm tired of taking meds. I take asthma / allergy drugs and lexapro as well. I'm to the point where I'd rather see an alternative doc but am concerned about the costs with health insurance. Plus I want to make sure it works. Thanks.
1185895 tn?1266608090 I was just recently switched from my old medication, Lexapro, to Clonazepam. I had been on Lexapro for 9 years and felt it was no longer helping me. I have been having panic attacks for the first time in my life. I have had to call 911 a few times this past year. I now know that it is panic attacks. I have a history of severe hypertension. So, the stress and anxiety just adds to that. My doctor put me on Clonazepam 0.5 mg. 3X daily. I started taking it on January 15. It has helped tremendously.
1063764 tn?1272821064 It's hard to see exactly where they would interact, since they work on completely different physiological processes. Then again, everyone has their own peculiarities when it comes to this stuff. Melatonin is a hormone made naturally by the body to set the body clock and as an antioxidant. It doesn't affect serotonin in any direct way, but obviously if you're not sleeping well it won't help serotonin do its thing.
717272 tn?1277590780 Oh, something you might want to hear about: Nurse finally figured out today that my Lexapro interacts with my interferon and crashes platelets even worse. I took Celexa for a little while, platelets dropped. Started taking it again and they really dropped. Stopped it, went up. Started Lexapro and they dropped. Went to half dose and they went up. I mentioned interaction to the nurse long ago. Celexa & Lexapro are almost the same drug.
1578386 tn?1296256257 I went to pick up my Tramadol for the pharmacy and they said they would not fill because of drug ineractions with the lexapro and said the Dr. would have to sign off on the refill, which she did. The fact that the pharmacy said there were drug ineractions I thought I would quit taking and the fatique has taken over so bad I was unable to work. I decided to take 2 this a.m. and wonder what to do now. I must take my lexapro ~ what should I do now. Any answers would be wonderful!!!!
Avatar n tn t im saying it is different for each individual and there individual drain chemistry and the drugs interaction with this...
Avatar m tn I've noticed a lot of exacerbated ADHD symptoms by taking SSRI medications. SSRI medicines are hard to manage when I have severe hyperactivity and inattentiveness with ADHD, yet the SSRI seems to help in other areas that I mentioned. I have spoken to my psychiatrist about this a couple times, and he told me to try and time the doses between Dexedrine and Lexapro so I don't have too much Lexapro before trying to study, and try not to have too much Dexedrine close to bed.
Avatar f tn My doctor wants me to start Lexapro because of depression & anxiety symptoms. My insurance company is denying because I also take Ampyra, Rebiff & Nuvigil. Do these drugs interact with each other that insurance would deny it?
