flexeril
it drives me insane not knowing! last month i was cramping so bad i had my doctor call me in something (flexeril) and i usally cramp SO bad the day before my period and i havent cramped at ALL this month! i only took one/two flexeril last month so i dont think that would have any change on when i start.
Opiates are safe in pregnancy they don't cause birth defects this includes methadone which is used as a form of pain management not just for drug addicts. There are some risks of baby having withdrawal at delivery but this can be handled easily especially if your OB knows about it prior to delivery. Keep taking your meds as prescribed if you stop cold turkey it can lead to miscarriage or stillbirth.
Does anyone know very much about Flexeril? I just received an call from someone that thinks they may have overdosed on it. He usually does not take it and took up to ten 10mg tablets today and feels somewhat out of it. 100mg in one shot shouldn't do too much should it? He is in No. CA and I'm in So. CA so I can't get to him. Should I be concerned about him not waking up? Apparently he took six of them yesterday and I read the half life is 1-3 days.
s own, but the only ways I know to treat it is by medicines. If untreated in pregnancy it can cause preterm labour among other complications. Have you tried to get on insurance? The government provides insurance to pregnant women so that you can get the proper care you need. It should also cover medicines and treatments needed. Get a second opinion about the Flexeril if you're still unsure.
hi
i am 18 years old and since the start of 2009 have been depressed and had fibromyalgia, in the last 2 months ive noticed i have been getting pains in mostly my hands and arms but sometimes my legs. the pains come and go in short and sharp spells. the pains are stabbing pains all over my hands and occasionally on my arms, and last for about 30 minns-and hour. but then go away for an hour but come back.
I started having some symptoms such as upper back pain and pain in my left arm at random places like the elbow, wrist, some of the fingers. Not constant pain, doesn't even last a couple of minutes, it's more fleeting aches I would say. They come and go, sporadically. Anyways, my doctor felt my upper back and said I have trigger points, which are basically knots in the muscle that can send referred pain to different areas of the body, including the arms.
I wouldn't drink with flexeril in my system.
Alcohol and flexeril are both central nervous system suppressants and consuming alcohol while taking flexeril compounds the drowsiness, confused thinking, respiratory suppression of the muscle relaxant. Flexeril/alcohol combos are frequent causes of accidental overdose.
I would avoid the alcohol while taking the flexeril completely. If you already were consuming alcohol, I would skip the flexeril for at least 12 hours or more, depending upon how much alcohol you consumed.
Flexeril is a Pregnancy Class B medication which means there's been no reported issues with pregnant women and animal studies did not show birth defects. However there have been no studies directly on pregnant women. Most OBs are okay with women taking class B medication but with careful monitoring and minimal use. Talk to your OB on Monday before you take any and they will let you know your best course of action.
Hope you feel better.
Congrats on the 3 weeks. I would take aleve myself. If my back hurts at night I take advil PM .
Anyway I am already on Valium (for years) and Lamitctal However the ER doc prescribe oxycodone, flexeril, and for some reason ativan? Which I kept telling them i don't understand since i am already on 20mg valiums?
They kept saying they will ask and the Doctor said she would update my med information but when i got home I saw they did not update any information and she wrote to take all 3 with no comment on the valium i already been on for years?
The first day I took three, I found myself looking at my bottle of pain medication thinking about taking the whole bottle at once! I immediately threw the Flexeril in the trash. Nothing like that ever happened to me before that day, and nothing like that has ever happened since. I have never suffered from depression, so the whole incident freaked me out! I admit I dislike taking medication, and the only medication I routinely take is pain medication.
