Common Questions and Answers about Skelaxin and darvocet

skelaxin

Avatar f tn I was prescribed Darvocet but it does nothing for my pain. Skelaxin does nothing either. I was just started on Lyrica and have noticed a slight decrease in pain but I still have flares that are unbearable. I wish I could offer you suggestions but so far, I'm in the same boat as you.
Avatar f tn Having some very bad lower back pain today that tylenol isn't touching. I was wondering about Skelaxin. I have some and have taken it in the past...but don't even remember side effects or how I felt taking it or anything. Is this addictive?Anybody know anything about it? Thanks!
Avatar m tn I am prescribed Celebrex and skelaxin. I have a question about the skelaxin. Well my job is physically demanding I work in a hospital I do patient care I "boost" patients, transport patients, help very unsteady patients get out of bed and walk. So quite often I need to take my skelaxin. My lower back tightens up and I just need some relief. I have been taking it a bit more often than I did say 6 months ago.
Avatar n tn I have severe scoliosis, deteriorating disks and bone spurs in my neck. With Darvocet being withdrawn from the market, my doctor put me on Tramadol, 2 x day. Today is my first day on the new meds, I feel rather out of sorts but not too bad yet. Can't tell yet whether it's helping pain or not, since I always hurt. Has anyone else switched to Tramadol? With the Darvocet dose I've been on, can I expect severe withdrawal symptoms? Thanks for your input.
Avatar f tn I have an absessed (sp?) tooth and my dr prescribed me darvocet. I also have asthma and I have noticed that my chest is tight and it is harder to breathe. I have only been taking this for 2 days now and only 1 tablet about every 4-5 hours while awake. Is this normal?
Avatar f tn Hi, I am wanting to quit my Darvocet use. I take 6 650mg a day and want to stop. How do I taper and what do I expect in the progress and how long should I do this...I am so sick of them.
200277 tn?1214663674 Darvocet is one of the weaker ones....Be glad that he is only coming off of Darvocet and not Oxy or Opana..... Hot baths work best (for real).. Good Luck.
Avatar m tn What is the danger or addiction potential problem with using Darvocet for pain relieve? And is getting off these things going to create bad WD's?? Any advice on this and some solutions for a plan? I have been on Vic's and Perc's before and got off those before, am I looking at the same WD's with these? I take 5-6 per day, please advice; thank YOU!!
Avatar f tn He did an ultrasound and found my overy is about 3 times normal size. He gave me a prescription for darvocet. He said it was safe to take durring pregnancy but all the info I found said otherwise. Has anyone ever taken it? I'm only 5 weeks and don't want to take anything that may cause birth defects.
Avatar n tn First off it is better to just get off without going to another opiate or drug.. But if you have the darvocet already, and you are going to try this no matter what anyway I will try and help.. Look at it this way.. Darvocet is a lower strength narcotic pain killer than hydrocodone. So if you were addicted to hydro and were not able to taper using it to lessen the effects of the withdrawl, then basically you can use the Darvocet to use to taper off of.. You said you have 22 of them right?
Avatar f tn It has helped me immensely, and I would recommend it to anyone in a similar situation. Your NOT losing your mind. You will be okay. Set your mind to get off the Darvocet, and when you do...you will feel like a huge weight has been lifted off your back. You will be amazed how powerful your mind can be... Good luck to you, and if you need to chat PM me anytime.
Avatar n tn I don't think that amount of wine alone would elevate you enzymes but with the drugs you're taking I really don't know. I believe that Skelaxin may be associated with elevated liver enzymes is some people but again, I am not sure of this. I would Google all of the drugs you're taking with the word "liver" or "hepatic" eg "Skelaxin Liver".
Avatar f tn t take during the day,as I have small kids and it made me VERY sleepy!) Then I was put on Skelaxin and I feel like that does nothing( 800mg. 3x day) I could take 2 at one time and still...nothing? I think I'm going to ask to go back on Flexeril(for bed time) to reduce my pain and spasms) Thanks!
Avatar m tn So he just said take the hydro because your not taking that many (only 3 a day 7.5) and try this Skelaxin and let me know in 3 months how your doing. I have really tried to cut back on the hydro but my back hurts so bad it wakes me up (when I can sleep). Please let me know if any of you have had any experence with this for back spasms. Thanks.
Avatar f tn oh and broke down and took a muscle relaxer. skelaxin. this shouldn't be a problem right? found an old script. ibuprofen was not cutting it.
Avatar f tn I was currently prescribed darvocet for pain but it was taken off the market. Since I haven't had anything. My doc gave me tylenol 3 but it made me sick. He then prescribed tramadol but I didn't fill it after I've read about the terrible withdrawal symptoms. Is there anything else that isn't real strong or addicting that is similar to darvocet?
Avatar n tn I have heard that Darvocet has Tylenol in it which can be damaging to your liver. How much Darvocet and for how long do you have to take it before it hurts your liver? I appreciate any truthful info anyone can give me. I know alot of these posts are people who just tell what they think and not what the facts are.
Avatar f tn main fear if u r doing more than 6-8 a day, is frying ur liver I will be honest/and i want other mebers to share..this is a first for hearing a darvocet user resort to sub/and i have been here close to 2 yrs...u r switching to another narcotic that is at least 20/actually more/ x stronger than the one u r on..darvocet is barely even recognized as a narcotic///tis but barely/can u do some education on what u r getting urself into?
Avatar n tn (from bad to acute/severe) Herion- 4-7 days acute/severe withdrawal symptoms Loratabs- 5-7 days very bad Oxycontin- 4-7 days acute/severe Suboxone- 2-4 weeks bad (very bad 1st week) Methadone- 3-6 months bad (very bad 1st week) Not only have I experienced withdrawals from these drugs I have read all about there chemical compounds and what they do to you physically, mentally and emotionally long and short term.
590280 tn?1310087366 i normally take up to 25 vicodin es a day i went to the dr and asked for something for my nerves and pain. so i got darvocet, and xanax. i wanna stop taking pills all together. ive taken darvocet before...i took 5 today not for a high, i didnt want to feel sick. does anyone know anything about darvocet, it it the same as vicodin? am i nuts for thinking im doing better at least ??? idk im a mess. i had to get prescribed something i couldnt do it cold turkey.
Avatar f tn I suggest you read the listed side-effects and warnings about Darvocet. I don't know what type of pain killer it is, but doubt it would cause premature heart beats of any type. I take that to be what you have described as "prebeats". Many of us suffer from this condition, some located in the atrium (PAC) and some in the ventricle (PVC). The latter are the most noticeable.
Avatar n tn My husband took a UA at work and it came back positive for Darvocet...which isn't correct: The meds he has taken in the last 30 days are Flexeril for pulled back muscle, Ibuprophen, Tylenol, Ceftin (Antibiotic) due to a tooth being pulled the absecessed and Lortabs. Can any of these give a false positive for the Darvocet. And how can I prove it to his work place.
363110 tn?1340920419 I'm one of those that almost died. I took soma and ambien together not knowing of the possible reaction and stopped breathing. I asked for something lighter because I'd like to eventually get off the norco but with the darvocet my back still aches enough to require a couple doses of norco a day. I'm doing excercise more often now along with other good things like taking vitamins. I know darvocet is mild compared to norco, oxy's etc.
Avatar f tn If i took i tramadol last night at 8:00, Is it safe to take a darvocet today at 3:00 ?
Avatar m tn Well I just got back from seeing my dr about the myleogram I had and they pretty much just said I had from L-1 to S-1 messed up and not much they can do. Take the pills and try the therapy and message for awhile and then let us know how your doing. I had got down to 1 1/2 a day through my weening process but my back was hurting the whole time. I think I am still going to try to keep cutting back and see if I can quit when I can take a few days off work.
