Common Questions and Answers about Can i take skelaxin and vicodin

skelaxin

Avatar m tn 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. I tKe it as prescribed I have never gone over the maximum dose, I am just concerned about possible withdrawal or anything like that from skelaxin.
Avatar m tn t taken a soma like I said I got skelaxin which I take rarely only if my back is howling in pain cuz it knocks me out into last Tuesday. I Ben doing tons of stretching and I tolerate a little discomfort. I'd rather have a little discomfort than deal with a soma habit. Not saying if u take soma your a junkie or anything lol I just know myself well enough not to touch it. Prayers for everyone,.
Avatar f tn Hi! Congratulations! Yes, it is safe to take Vicodin while pregnant. As with anything else during pregnancy however, the less the better. Take only the minimum dosage that alleviates the pain, and take it only when plain Tylenol and other methods haven't worked. One other thing about the combination of Vicodin and pregnancy is that it is a real set up for constipation! So watch out for that! Good luck!

Avatar m tn Skelaxin 3600 mg daily Gabapentin 1800 mg daily Vicodin (as needed) Maxsalt (as needed) The pain in my neck is constant/achy and worsens with left to right movement, and up and down movement. My headaches are daily and are manageable for about 90% of the time, the other 10% is debilitating and takes me out of work. Any help or recommendations are appreciated.
906679 tn?1263612612 It is very difficult to wean off and has left some with permanent side effects. Good luck. I took vicodin with cymbalta and now I only take vicodin. It took me months of agony to get off Cymbalta. Please do the research.

Avatar n tn Can I take pain medication for a toothache. Im a diabetic and I dont know what medicines I cant take. Is tylenol 3 ok?
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 I got a brace too but it is just not supporting me in the lower back where I need it too. I am doing this therapy and I hope I can get myself back in shape and maybe that will help too. Thanks for your reply and I agree the Skelaxin does make me feel kind of heavy. I have only taken it at night. I wonder if it would help to wd from the hydro since I don't have any valiume (sp)?
Avatar f tn I was clean for 5 months after years on and off vicodin It seems every time i try to stop the withdrawals are worse. I have too much going on right now to lay in bed and who wants to feel withdrawals? I was taking Vicodin es for about a month now about 6 a day sometimes more. Then i didn't have access to them for a day or two and started taking 10 mg valium. then I continued to take the valium with the vicodin to help me sleep when I took too much vicodin sometimes 2-3 a day.
Avatar n tn I have chronic neck pain from a disk protrusion in my neck - I was in a car accident over a year ago and it's so overwhelming I can barely stand it. Technically, yes, I have abused my vicodin prescription - I take about 6 or 7 5/350's and I'm about to run out - 9 days before my refill is due. I can't ask for another early refill - my doctor is going to flip out if I do. I've tried the slow release oxycodone but it makes me too tired and I absolutely prefer vicodin.
Avatar n tn Welcome I can tell you whats going on your heart is slowing down so slow it fighting to come back. I don't to be mean BUT I know I'm 12 days clean and I was taking 20 to 27 Vics aday plus I was taking ativan and sometimes ambien. I would go into such a deep sleep I would catch myself fighting for a breath This was going on for the last 3 years! I could not go to the bathroom sometimes I could'nt pee all day.Your body slowly shutting down just like I was!!! PLEASE GET HELP!
450140 tn?1317947304 Want to send tons of ((HUGS)) to you Beth and I'm sorry that you are dealing with such pain and not able to find relief. I know nothing about SKELAXIN, so I can't give you any advice about that. Hopefully, someone here will be able to help. I hope the Neuro Psych appt goes well. Stick to your guns and get that plan of action!! I know it's so frustrating not knowing what to do or where to go next. Especially, since you are going through all of this pain.
Avatar f tn My only problem with quiting is the WD, I am done with getting high off the pill but when I stop CT I just can not function and sleep and just do not want to talk to anyone....
402205 tn?1230481005 Hi everyone, I have a question. I am 13 days clean from hydrocodones (about 4-8 a day for 4 months). I just had a car accident and don't want to take anything for the pain. I was wondering about muscle relaxers. I've never had a problem taking them before. Should I take them? Will it make me relapse? Any help would be appreciated!
Avatar f tn amitryptilline in small doses helps me sleep if i just take it here and there...not habit forming but if u take it every night u get kinda used to it...my brother takes it for migraines and i have it prescribed for back pain...also an AD in higher doses...hang in there...
Avatar n tn After some reseach online I came across article saying gabapentin can increase these. Here is a link to one article I read and you can find others as well. Hope this helps http://www.livestrong.
Avatar n tn Welcome to MedHelp. I am glad you found us on the Pain Management Forum. I am sorry to hear about your pain. It sounds like you may have Wryneck, also know as Torticollis. Torticollis or (Wryneck) is a twisting of the neck that causes the head to rotate and tilt at an odd angle. It is caused by irritation to cervical nerves, which results in spasm of the neck muscles.
