flexeril

Avatar m tn TMJ is a possible symptom of hypothyroidism.
1735730 tn?1348952972 what is the difference between flexaril 10 and zanaflex 4 Is if safe to convert from one to the other?
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 n tn And also, I want to know the effects of mixing Paxil, Lithium and Adderall together. I was on those drugs in my teens and it seems like now my memory is really bad. Does anyone know if there are any long term effects on your memory from any of these drugs or mixing these drugs? Any help would be appreciated.
Avatar f tn I just found this, and I wanted to make a comment on the chance there are anxiety sufferers who are also being treated for breast cancer. It make be a well know issue now, but when my wife began Tamoxifen treatment following her breast cancer surgery and radiation, I saw an article on TV regarding drug interaction between Paxil and Tamoxifen. We immediately mentioned it to my wife's oncologist, and he initially dismissed it and told my wife to continue to take the two drugs as prescribed.
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.
Avatar f tn You know... you'd think now that everything is in a database that they'd cross reference your prescriptions for any interactions. But the ones we've dealt with (big ones) don't. My wife was taking Paxil and had to take Tamoxifen followng her breast cancer surgery. It's a five year regime. Our pharmacy happily filled each prescription for 2years until one day my wife saw a news article claiming reduced efficacy of the Tamoxifen when taken in conjunction with Paxil.
1501613 tn?1289319749 Is it safe to take both? I take the Zoloft during the day and Paxil at night because I noticed it helps me sleep.
Avatar f tn I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a good anxiety drug other than Paxil, Effexor or Lexapro. I was on Paxil for years and it worked well for me but my doctor switched me to Lexapro which made me extremely sick as did Effexor. Anyway, now I am about to go back on Paxil because it was the only drug that really worked for me and didn't make me sick but I have one problem.
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.
527657 tn?1214051850 My doctor has me on 600 mg of gemfibozil once a day before meals and simistation 40 mgs once a day. I have high cholestrol and very high trycliderides. I had a heart attack 10 years ago, Now my question is i read on the net these two meds should not be taken together. Can i get your advice on this please.
Avatar f tn It still may not be a bad Idea to at least taper down to about 75 Mgs of Effexor before ramping up the Paxil and Welbuterin. Then after the Paxil and Welbuterine start to work then back down to 37.5 on the Effexor, then off it completly. Given that you are going to put Paxil and Welbutrine in place of the Effexor, your withdrawl from the Effexor should be much more tolerable then say, someone just stopping Effexor and not replacing it with another AD medication.

12182312 tn?1427683956 Quick question And I still will ask my doctor about this, but wanted your opinion. I take Paxil for depression, well generic brand, and also metoprolol for fast palpitations. My paroxetine is 40mg, and metoprolol is 25mg. Are they safe to take together. Is one an upper, one a downer. I take Paxil in the morning, metoprolol before bed.
Avatar f tn I've been taking 20mgs of paxil and my psycholigist wanted me to stop after taking it for month. I've been taking 25 mcgs fentanyl for a month now i'm trying to go cold turkey, but i've been on paxil before and had no problem with withdraws maybe cuz it was only ten mgs. The symptons never afected me this way . It could be the fentanyl as well but i was'nt as bad before I started these.
Avatar n tn Now my doctor has prescribed 10 mg. of Paxil but I am hesitant to take it since drug interaction warnings and my pharmacist say it could lower my blood pressure too much. I do not want to return to the emergency room or experience the bad side effects again. Any advice? Is it true that SSRIs and beta blockers are not a wise combination? Is there an SSRI that works well with metoprolol tartrate? I do not have a history of high blood pressure, but I do have a history of anxiety.
Avatar m tn I recently made a post about starting on Zoloft. After a few days the side effects were so unbearable that I couldn't stand it anymore. I went to see my family doctor, and he said that Paxil might work better for me. To start off, i'm pretty nervous about starting it after the terrible reaction to Zoloft, but in addition, i'm concerned with it's interaction with alcohol. I would say that I am dependent on alcohol, I have drank large amounts nightly for over a year.
Avatar f tn And does Paxil interact with Diazepam and does paxil interact with carbamazepine? Does carbamazepine interact with diazepam and vice versa? Please help! Write me back! I am a single mom of two small children who is scared that something will happen to me.
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.
Avatar m tn been on them around 7 months and tolerate them well! im wondering if i could have a few glasses of red wine?
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.
Avatar f tn t want to continue to lock myself away and have no interaction with my kids and husband. Please help I am not like this I love to go out and play and enjoy life. Please do not ask me to consult with my doctor as he had me on Paxil, Lamictal, Zyprex and Zanex all at the same time and I couldn't handle it. Please any suggestions so that I can interact with the outside world again. This is driving me into further depression!!!!!
Avatar f tn I was on Paxil and Propanolol and my Dr. Took mee off Paxil due to possible interactions.Not on anything for depression now but I am waiting to be put on one.Can't take SSRI anyone have any suggestions.
Avatar m tn Prozac and Paxil both significantly block the pathway for the metabolism of Adderall and all the amphetamine products. [Wellbutrin and Cymbalta can block 2D6 at their higher doses.] If you take either of these two antidepressants together with an amphetamine, just watch out. You can significantly become overdosed on the amphetamine and suffer significant side effects. Often this interaction can unpredictably occur several months later.
Avatar f tn http://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/mepergan-fortis-with-paroxetine-1558-8514-1800-0.html The first link above just basically gives reported interactions (to the FDA), and is more related to long-term use of both meds. The info can be more frightening if taken out of context, but it IS important to see what has been reported. You would definitely want to work with your doctor to find an appropriate antiemetic that is okay to take with the Paxil. Zofran may be a better option.
Avatar m tn I can't comment on the drug interaction of SSRI's and SNRI's with heart meds. But I'd want to say that you should consider each very carefully before starting either family of drugs. My wife was on Paxil (Alprazolam) for many years before switching to the SNRI Effexor (Venlafaxine) following treatment for breast cancer. It was found that SSRIs interfered with the Tamoxifen that she was taking.
1581408 tn?1296506870 The combination of Gabapentin and Flexeril are already having a far more extreme effect on me than the Oxycodone did. I feel very foggy, much more sleepy, and generally less alert/involved in what's going on around me. Making matters worse, I've been having flashbacks to the accident (I was already prone to PTSD) so the doc also put me on Paxil (10mg to start, to increase to 20mg in 2 weeks) to control the PTSD symptoms.
