mixing flexeril and valium

I have been taking 3/4 of a 10mg Flexerit once a day before bed Pain Management Dr put me on 4-1/2 yrs ago while detoxing from Valium (horrible). I'm sure God brought me here getting off Valium. People here helped me so much like Cricket, AtThebeach and many others. I couldn't have done it without them and our Heavenly Father. Was on Gabapentin (for me is a horrible drug). He offered that again, maybe won't be as bad now, not withdrawing from Valium.

Hi there. I can understand your plight well. You are right, certain medications particularly muscle relaxants and antichlinergics, interfere with the results of EMG like baclofen and flexeril or cyclobenzaprine that you are taking. It would be prudent to apprise your neurologist of all the medications you are on, so that the EMG results are appreciated in that light. Muscle biopsy can be taken up after an EMG. Consult your neurologist for his preferences and expertise. Take care.

Ativan is used to relax/calm you down and so is Valium,in essence.However Valium can also be used as a muscle relaxant. I would sstrongly advise against taking both.You may want to consullt with your doctor as well.Please be careful!!

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...

I am soooooo scared to take what he has told me to take seeing all these horror storys online about mixing benzos and suboxone. Well if anyone can help me feel better or if they have had this experience also please post keep in mind I have never took any of these medications before other then the suboxone. My medications are suboxone 2mg four times a day,clonidine 0.1mg everynight at bedtime, zoloft 50mg every morning, tenex 1mg 3 times a day, and valium 10mg as needed for anxiety.

That is a lot of valium!!! I would be careful mixing 90mg of valium with anything. But mixing it with any kind of opiate could be dangerous!

I've just started Baclofen, and I'm doing the titrating thing - one pill per day for a week, then two pills, and so on. I wondered if one pill would be enough to stop the hug, but evidently not - just had to take a Flexaril. I guess that's okay, right? Mixing up my muscle relaxers?

I recently was on MS Contin (long acting morphine) and my PCP allowed me to take Valium at HS with the MS Contin. Obviously Valium and Xanax are similar. She had me take it first in the day time a few times when my husband was home to see how it would affect me. I did not have a problem with the two medications. So I think it is a probability that you can take them together but keep in mind that they both depress the respiratory system.

He told me not to take the valium I had been prescribed but I could continue the flexeril with the gabapentin as needed. I see him on the first of July and since I am newly diagnosed I have so many questions. I feel a little lost. I have been having so many problems remembering things. Forgetting what I was saying right in the middle of saying it. I was trying to call a friend the other day and I know her number by heart but I dialed half her number and half someone elses.

I have been having so many nights with spasms and jerking of my legs. We have tried many things, like Baclofen, Flexeril, and Gabapentin. Now, we are on 3000 mg. of Gabapentin, and my physiacrist decided to try Valium at 5mg, first week going to 10 mg. the next week, at night time. I was told that in NO WAY can I take the Baclofen, ( warning on bottle), or the flexeril and no grapefruit juice or grapefruit.

I used to be on 150 mg of Methadone a day but cut way down to just 30mg/day and it was so tough! Now I'm mixing just 10mg of Valium with the current Methadone. It that mixture safe?

1mg is roughly equivalent to 10mg of Valium (Diazepam). All drugs have unwanted effects as well as therapeutic ones and mixing drugs will almost always carry a possibility of interaction. However, if this interaction is rare, your prescriber has presumably decided that the benefits of you taking Klonopin outweigh the risks. Yet again, you need to discuss this with your doctor. Good luck!

m going again tomorrow to perhaps get off of flexeril and maybe get a monitor to take home. Has anyone had this happen to them when on Flexeril? I noticed that the skipped beats got worse with the supplements i'm on too but don't know if these should cause such an event.

of valium, 10 mgs of flexeril, and 30 mgs of buspar, several times a week to escape life. I am a recovering alcoholic and recognize I have relapsed. I want this to stop. Can anyone comment on what withdrawals to expect and how to stop this at home? I am not going to rehab.

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.....

t say it was awesome and symptom free but much more bearable this last time. WHY you ask?!?! I took flexeril on days 1, 2 and 3. I stopped taking it yesterday because I had to return to work today, but I definitely believe the flexeril helped because it was so much more bearable this time. I'm by no means 100% but yesterday (day 4) I was functional and today I'm a little more functional.

With Flexeril, yes it works but depends on what you taking along with it. For example don't take it with a benzo like xanax. Baclofen is very good. I even read that in higher doses it can be used for addictions like alcohol and maybe heroin. It was in the Wikipedia site for it. Was very i teresting read.

Going cold turkey starting tomorrow and have everything listed for the Thomas Recipe, and some Clonidine to throw on top of it all. I've been through this before and the sleep issue is what drives me crazy!! Is the Valium supposed to help with sleep, or should I try to get a sleeping aid to help with this? I don't want to throw to much **** into my body, but I also want to get some sleep. I've tried Flexeril and Benedryl in the past with no luck.

I was on Soma and was switched to valium. I think it's an excellent medication, even though it is habit forming.

Hi, I have been on Percocet 10/325 along with Neurontin, Flexeril, Valium for about a decade. I was switched to 75 MCG Fentanyl patch 2 weeks ago. Valium was stopped 3 weeks ago. The 1st week I could not sleep at all. Drowsy, though. Shaky, cold. My doctor said it was withdrawal. Now at week 2, I sleep about 2 hours, very shaky, freezing cold, (I never get cold) Absolutely miserable BUT have great pain relief. Must stay in bed.

I am prescribed quite a few pain meds and benzo's for Chronic pain and anxiety but need advice on getting off Fentanyl Patch ASAP. I am prescribed Fentanyl Patch 100mcg every 36 hrs, Diladid 8mg 2-3 daily, Percocet 7.5 4 daily, Norco 7.5 4 daily, klonopin 1mg 4x daily, Valium 10mg 2-3 daily, Flexeril 10mg 3x daily, Phenergan 25mg 2x daily. I now am down to taking 50mcg Fentanyl every 72 hrs, 1/2 so 4 mg of Diladid if needed 0-2 a day, 1/2 of Percocet so about 3.

in the morning and the same in the evening and did this for about two months. I read about valium and realized i did not want to become addicted and stopped taking them daily two weeks ago. I went 4 or 5 days without any and then my heart started racing, i started to panic and took 2.m.g. then went a few days and felt ok but then had to go to court and was horribly nervous and took another 2 m.g. This was 4 days ago. Yesterday i took about 0.5 mg (half a m.g).

Valium is a very potent muscle relaxer, much more so than Flexeril, and in many cases, Soma as well. I have been taking Valium for about 7 years now for sleep, anxiety/panic, and pain. Over time your body will become very dependant on benzodiazepines when taken over the long term. A very slow medically supervised taper is recommended if one wants to discontinue the medication. Going cold turkey on a benzodiazepine can cause seizures that are very dangerous and can cause death.

My doctor recently suggested that I try Amrix as a muscle relaxer, and commented that Valium is addictive (and Amrix not), and that a side benefit of Amrix was that it would help with sleep. I tried it for about ten days, and found that it resulted in an increase in daytime sleepiness. This I can ill afford, as, like most commuters, I`m reasonably sleep deprived anyway, at least during the week. I also couldn't detect much impact on muscle relaxation, and so I stopped.
