Hi I was on Lortab tens for 8 yrs I have had a new dr and she is great for the last 9 yrs along the way she changed me to morphine 50/2mg E/R capsals twice a day (every 12 hrs)I know that loratab has Tylenol at a dose of 325mg and Tylenol goes thru your liver but what about morphine I was told it goes in to my blood stream is this true I had liver cancer in 1981 so I am trying to protect my liver and I have stage 3 kidney disease on the low end of stage 3 I also take flexeril 10 mg 3 a day but I
Spoke with her recently and she is still having the same symptoms -- taking morphine 2x/day and Lortab for the breakthrough pain with minimal relief.
The major muscle goup on the front of your thigh is called the quadriceps (actually made up of 4 different muscles) -- the main mover (rectoris femoris) is actually a knee straightener and a hip bender. At its shortest point, the hip is bent with the knee straight.
I have hashimotos By the way.
I am asking because i am hanving jaw tension and pain now and want to take the flexeril but i am afraid it might trigger my hyop tyroidism.
See if your doctor can write you a prescription for some Requip for restlessness, Neurontin for anxiety and malaise, some Flexeril or Soma for a few weeks for muscle spasms and maybe some Seroquel low dose, for sleep, Clonidine helps with the creepy-crawly feeling and helps stabilize the blood pressure. All of these medications will make your life easier during this time. Valerian and Magnesium is sometimes helpful remedies over the counter.
I was seeing my primary care nurse practitioner since March 2nd for low back pain. She put me on Lortab 5/325 and Flexeril. After an mri, diagnosed with disc issues, fibromyalgia, yada yada. Sent to pain management, physical therapist, ortho none of which did anything for me. Finally found a wonderful PT who got my spine moving again after 3 rounds of steroids and is working on leg nerve pain and constant muscle spasms.
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.
I been taking flexeril for years because of muscle pain due to Lupus and for the last 2 months have been being treated for severe indigestion as a side effect of the med Verapimil. I was wondering if the flexeril could relax the sphincter muscle that is involved in GERD? Please give me any ideas or info you might have regarding if the flexeril would be contraindicated due to the GERD situation? Thanks, God bless!
My back is really bothering me!! Hurts so bad and can't relax for anything!! I'm 35 weeks and really want to! Has anyone taken a muscle relaxer or even a half of one?
I've had bad lower back, tailbone, and pelvic pain. My doctor prescribed flexiril and pain meds. I take them as needed, I usually take half of a muscle relaxer though cause they make me so sleepy!
I was diagnosed with RA last year after having several flare-ups that took me to the ER on every occasion with a cost of thousands of dollars and no diagnosis until I saw an RA doctor. She's a wonderful doctor and to keep my flare-ups manageable she gave me Lortabs and oxycontin and after several of each of these pills I have decided that I cannot take them any more as the side effects are too ugly. Besides OTC pills what do you all use for the extreme pain?
First of all I want to clarify with you that you were indeed taking 1000mg of the hydrocodone in the Lortab. It is important to clarify, because each pill or Lortab contains anywhere from 5mg to 10 mg of hydrocodone and 500mg of acetomenophen (Tylenol). If you indeen where taking a hundred pills of Lortab a day, your liver may be in grave danger, becouse acetomenophen is toxic to your liver in such high doses.
a little more info but the short answer is yes with a prescription and yes if it is available in the home and yes from friends. Do you take flexeril? Who suggested it? What does your child need it for?
I ask this way because of the ongoing epidemic of Prescription drug abuse by children who get it at home or from friends who get it at home etc. And you did good asking but better to ask your doc. So fill us in and put your pills in a secure Secure place! Looking forward to hearing from you.
Hi, my husband is disabled with chronic severe back/leg/hip pain from multiple failed surgeries and and one of his pain management meds is Flexeril, that Clean mentioned. He too gets wicked muscle spasms and takes the Flexeril for that. It helps him. I am an opiate addict (for effect) but do get bad lower back pain at night, probably from carrying 60 pounds on my small frame during pregnancy...and I am getting older.
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.
Well it's day 8 for me. Tapered quickly off lortab (8 a day down to none) fioricet (5 a day down to none) klonopin (down to .5 from 4mg) and zoloft (150mg down to 75). Now I spend most of the day shaking inside and feeling terribly anxious. I have trazadone but it just makes me tired and anxious and flexeril which doesn't seem to do anything at all. Did I try to do to much at once? I'm starting to think I should have done one at a time....
I went to see my pcp and I also got blood work done. It appears my wbc was decreased. I researched the web and found that Flexeril and Benadryl, two meds I’ve been taking since I started working nights and my back pain became unbearable can cause low wbc. I’ve stopped taking both and I am starting to feel better but not back to myself yet and it’s already been 2 weeks since I stopped. I’m guessing this meds are still in my body. I plan to repeat my lab work in a few months.
