flexeril and pregnancy side effects

Hi again has anyone tried Flexeril (muscle relaxant)? Any bad side effects and did it help pain , I have I guess myofascial pain. Any trouble with withdrawal gettnig off of it?

Hi Tuckamore, FYI, I went to the doctor yesterday and he said Flexeril is known to cause skipping heart beats and other problems like that and I have to go off of it tonight. So, I went off the Flexeril last night and has some trouble sleeping but took an antihistamine and I seem to be doing ok today. So, far my heartbeat is better. I hope that does the trick. I looked up the side effects of Flexeril and <1% get the arhythimias and so I guess I'm in the 1% as usual.

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!

There was a study of 14,500 people who have side effects while taking Flexeril from FDA and social media. Among them, 3 have Seizures. The incident in low - but any incident must be reported. Flexeril, may lower a person's seizure threshold - according to one site. I understand why you are concerned. I really encourage you to talk to a good Pharmacist - indeed I would ask several.

People often dont realize that supplements also have side effects and some effect the heart. Another thing to remember is supplements and medications can interact. Not sure why your hands turned blue, but I would definately look at all of the above. My motto is not drugs or supplements unless I really need them and not before I research them. I hope you figure this out and things get better soon.

Now that I am taking 10mg lisinopril It feels like I have the Flu (aches,pains,chills) ,and my throat gets really sore. these effects last about 22 hours and subside just before the next dose, and then come again about an hour after I take lisinopril would it be safe to switch back to 5mg as the effects are less severe or should I talk to my PCP about a different BP med.

I appreciate the help with the side effects, I was trying to figure out if I was having normal side effects and which would be from the Tylenol and which from the oxy. I am trying to make sure I take breaks when I can handle them from the meds, so I don't get dependant or addicted. But the pain gets so bad that I can't sleep for a few days, then I finally take something and wonder if I am in fact getting addicted? Scary, I have seen addiction in my family and it is not good.

Not sure you're right about taking two or more of these can cause it. Two of the drugs affect serotonin, but only trazadone does this primarily. However, any of these drugs by themselves (not including melatonin, which is not a drug and is one of the safest supplements ever studied) could cause all of your side effects and the combination wouldn't be appealing to me.

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.

I haven't had any side effects, and it doesn't make me dizzy. Everybody tolerates meds differently. Other than craving carbs it has worked for me, and has increased my tolerance for exercise, which is ectremely low. If you try it, start slowly with low dose. Good luck, post your results if you can.

No it sounds like you are either have a bad side effect from gabapentin or are allergic to it. I took 1200mg a day for several months and had no side effects other than being tired and memory problems. I haven't taken baclofen, so i don't know the side effect of that drug. Usually, muscle relaxers don't give you that bad of a headache. You may want to try Flexeril or another muscle relaxer.

And it's always good to hear from you!! I don't think you'll have a terrible time with a taper. I took Flexeril for awhile but it produced such a "hang over" effect that I could barely function the next day. I was employed at the time and needed to be as alert as possible. I tried a few others but either they weren't effective or they produced the same side effect as Flexeril.

I have never heard of, and cant imagine, anyone developing a problem wth flexeril. Relax and let the meds do their job - and hopefully the flexeril will work effectively for you....

ve been on Amantadine several weeks and it seems to help a lot with energy and stamina. Last three days I have taken one Flexeril at bedtime. Since.Tuesday, ic, likeI'm voice issue very sporadic "frozen in place" trouble with my tongue. Split second and I was back to normal. Now tonight it's intensified, and almost every sentence. Has an episode. At dinner, Nancy first heard it Before my second course is half gone, I have very shaky jandds and hkunbs.

I also took flexeril for quite some time and had no ill side effects when I stopped. Hope you will be as lucky!

My dad was prescribed 5mg of Flexeril to take 3 times a day. He didn't have any side effects while on the medicine and he doesn't drink or do other drugs. Right after he stopped taking Flexeril is when he started having symptoms. I really think the Flexeril was the catalyst of all his symptoms. He is not suicidal but just doesn't feel like being around people too much. He doesn't want to talk about what is going on because he thinks he will have a breakdown.

Has anyone ever takin flexeril during pregnancy? I'll be 24wks tomorrow. Obgyn put me on it due to pulling a muscle in my stomach. I'm high risk with twins.

If the methotrexate is helping you, I encourage you to stay on it. I am ok without it and the side effects made me very ill so, for me, it was the right decision to come off of it. Each of us are unique and so our treatments will vary. We all share the affliction and the myriad of ways it can effect our lives. I am glad you found us here and am enjoying sharing our experiences with each other. So many people in our lives do not understand.

I took that medication too but my doctor told me I had to wait up to 2 weeks for the medication to start working properly. I had to stop it by the 5th day because the side effects were awful and that pill almost killed me. As far as I know this medication (Mobic) is prescribed for arthritis. For pain I took a muscle relaxer Flexeril and it worked since the first day I took it. In 2 days I was pain free in my neck, arms and shoulders after having non stop pain and numbness for months.

t had too many wierd side effects other than the sleepiness and since it is not time released you can cut it in half if you need. I'd suggest taking the 1/2 and if it doesn't work take a whole 10mg thing and see if it helps. Flexeril helps me better than the other similar strength stuff so I try to take it at night and then again first thing in the morning.

Im not vomiting any more but still am nausious. Its been a month since then. Can the side effects last this long or is there another reason for the nausea?

Sorry , no I have never been on either of these...can I ask y u were given these...for what symptoms?

I had been taking Flexeril for 20 years to help me sleep and it stopped helping me a year ago. GP put me on Amitriptyline 10mg a year ago after a couple weeks it started to help some but haven’t gotten much more than 4-6 hours of sleep most nights sometimes 7 hrs. GP tried upping Amitriptyline but I got weird side effects so dropped back to 10mg..GP added Melatonin 5-10mg a couple months ago helped for awhile but now I go nights with no sleep to 2or 4 hours. Anyone else’s have this issue?

Call your doctor and tell them that the combo of meds are not working. It will be hit and miss until you find the right cocktail. I tried Lyrica but the side effects were too much for me, Same with Neuronton. I am finally taking Ultram ER 200mg 2 X a day, Flexeril at night along with a mild sleeping pill, I take Zoloft 100mg in the morning and 50mg at night. I also take Baclofen at night. My internist put me on Norco for the break through pain.
