ambien

604266 tn?1236358985 I relaized the muscle relaxants might help because as soon as I started ambien my pain decreased some. I know ambien and muscle relaxants are not the same but I'm assuming since ambien does relax the body that maybe the MR will too...hopping anyway. She said it will sedate me a bit and I will probably have no need for my ambien. But I hate being sedated and was hopping someone had some expereince with it and could tell me if it just makes you a little sleepy or knowcks you completely out.
Avatar f tn I was just diagnosed with an autoammune disease and don't want to take plaquenil just yet. Doctor said to take celebrex and a muscle relaxer. I have been taking 1 mg of xanax for 3 weeks and before that it was about twice a week as needed. I was having such anxiety and sleep issues rhemy said to take it every day. Now 3 weeks later she wants to try the new coctail of celebrex and muscle relaxer.
Avatar f tn Ok I have not taken an opiates for 11 days. I have been on soma 4 to 6 a night for 12 years to get to sleep. I do not sleep at all without them. Well new dr took me off and put me on flexeril that does nothing. I will never sleep again! Oh and how I do love to sleep. My body craves sleep and I can't wait for bedtime. I even took an ambien one time and it did nothing. Nite time OTC meds don't work. Will I ever sleep again?
Avatar m tn ve been dealing with major back and neck pain for the last week. Yesterday around 11a, I took a 5mg Flexeril and boy did it do wonders. After a brief nap, most of my pain greatly subsided. The following hours, about 10p, I did see an uptick in stiffness but nothing compared to the pain before the Flexeril. I know Flexeril has an unusually long half-life, about 18 hrs.
Avatar f tn I need to go see a therapist as i stopped my aftercare too soon and didnt have the right fit of a therapist. I am going to taper the ambien down to 5 mgs a night for a week or 2 and then maybe 5 mg every other night for a week or so. I was wondering what to expect in terms of side effects from quitting.Anybody out there been through this? I think i see now why the addiction psychiatrists wont prescribe ambien.....my gp doc did that, and yes she knew about my addiction to the pain meds.
Avatar n tn I have flexeril and do think it could aid with sleep and anxiety...maybe rls to some extent as well...

217229 tn?1192762404 m dizzy and sleepy in the daytime, but I take other things like Vicodin 750, Klonopin, Flexeril and Ambien, and Paxil. I gained weight with the Diabetes, so I can't tell. But I loved carbs before all of this.
603543 tn?1255294450 Did you ask your pharmacist if abilify and ambien and any other meds you might be taking, including OTC meds, might be interacting to cause you to feel like this? Sometimes pharmacists know more about adverse drug interactions than dr's. Just a thought.
603543 tn?1255294450 Thank you... I thought the ambien was too strong, but I was so happy to sleep again...Now the abilify, I was suppose to increase from 2 mg today to 4mg, I wanted to tknow if 2 mg was a thereaputic dose and also can I take have of that and take 1 mg since Im so sensititve and that might work, Its been keeping me up at night the abilify, makes my mind and body racy and alert...Waiting for my dr to call back, but sometimes that doesnt happen......

3795221 tn?1348159475 The Rheumatologist prescribed Flexeril, Ambien and told me to go to a psychiatrist. I made an appointment with a psychiatrist a week ago and have since researched him online. Most reviews talked of how they were strong-armed into hospitalization and put on Suboxone, which seems to be his cure all for his pain clinic. He is also said to get a lot of kickbacks from the pharmaceutical companies for that particular drug and he has his own floor on the psych unit.
416625 tn?1203288998 Im in sort of the same boat except both my husband and I are addicted to oxycontin. After several failed attempts to "detox together" we decided that 1) we can't go on like this anymore and 2) we cant do it together. We have 2 beautifull children ages 2 & 7 and Im a stay at home mom/ in school part time and my husband is also in school part time and works full time so we have a very busy schedule.
Avatar m tn I took Paxill and Ambien and it worked just fine. It didn't do anything really that I am aware of to my liver but did enable me to remain on treatment.
1460652 tn?1340248730 then i was involved in a car accident and was prescribed flexeril 7 days ago. the palps started 30 mins after the first pill. i just thought it was stress from the accident and "oh great, the skips are back"...until they became debilitating, and my bp dropped to 90/50, where as it is usually 115/75.i went to the dr. AGAIN and he said to go see a cardioloist AGAIN.
Avatar f tn Clean, I'm back on amitriptyline. This will be my second night. Will it hurt to take sam-e in the mornings? I took one this morning and I have felt terrible. It's worse coming off ambien this time, That's why I taking the amitriptyline. I didn't sleep much last night and I doze on and off all day. I know that's not good if I want to sleep tonight,.
1386457 tn?1279652083 ve been on klonopin for a year now and to be frank I am just tired of taking medication. I am currently taking celexa, klonopin, ambien, and flexeril. I dont know if I am ready I will just have to see and find out. I am taking .5 a night instead of the 1 mg I was taking everyday. It is day three and I just feel a bit larthgic and had a nightmare last night that was quite vivid. Anyone who has been or is in the similiar situation as me please describe when I should expect symptoms.
Avatar m tn My big fear is epilepsy Oxy use to make me shake and bite my tongue but since i been on 200mg Lamictal it has stopped I read Flexeril may cause seizure but then I also read the opposite. Even if I am not epileptic I like to play it safe as my Doc is out, and the pharmacy worker never seems to know anything. So does Flexeril increase seizure risk or is that just for (diagnosed) epileptics? I don't want to add it to the oxy and have a attack.
