Flexeril muscle relaxant
Common Questions and Answers about Flexeril muscle relaxant
flexeril
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.
Is there a muscle relaxant patch (I'm thinking like a flexeril patch, etc.) If not, is there a muscle relaxant cream.
Flexeril is a muscle relaxant, not a medication for nerve pain.
Both Flexeril and Zanaflex are muscle relaxants with Zanaflex having a shorter duration of action than Flexeril. At times a combination of a long acting relaxant is given with a short acting one for proper control of spasticity. Whether you need both or not can be decided only by your treating doctor based on your symptoms and response to drugs. Take care!
Flexeril is a muscle relaxant. Sweetie, I would ask your doctor about something like that before taking anything. You never know if you will have a reaction to a medication and if it was not prescribed to you and you received it from someone else that person could potentially be in trouble with the law. I do not believe Flexeril is addictive. But, please call your doctor instead.
That's just my two cents!
WTG for being clean from vicodin for 3 weeks!!! AWESOME!!!
I have used it is the past as a muscle relaxant and found it fairly effect. However it was not as effective as cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) for muscle spasms. Frequent warm baths go hand and hand with these drugs, at least in my humble opinion.
I hope this information is helpful. Please keep us posted on how you are doing.
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.
Hey there! Half way through Day 6 here too. If it wasn't for back stiffness, I'd feel awesome.
The one thing that has helped me sleep is Flexeril, it's a non-addictive muscle relaxant usually prescribed to treat muscle spasm (so it helps with RLS too). Valium didn't help me sleep more than 2-3 hours, but with the Flexeril, I've slept 8 hours. I know I saw a couple other posters say it worked for them too.
The doctor prescribed him, Flexeril, a muscle relaxant. He took the pills for 3 weeks like the doctor suggested. Two days after he stopped taking the Flexeril he started to experience withdrawal like symptoms. Unusual thoughts, dry mouth, numb lips, mood swings, confusion, etc. He had his wife call 911 because he thought he was having a stroke.
Were you vitamin D deficient beforehand? The info I found says muscle twitching and musculoskeletal pain were linked to deficiency, but not spasms. I suspect it might be insufficient treatment of the dystonia. You should talk to your doctor about it. Maybe talk to someone in physical medicine and rehabilitation if you haven't already--they might know more about treating you.
Flexeril might help with the sleep, since it's a muscle relaxant and rather sedative.
The generic name is Cyclobenzaprine. It is a muscle relaxant and relieves the muscle spasm when the spasm is due to the muscle itself and not the nerves that control the muscle. It can only be used short term together with rest and physical therapy and can only be used for two to three weeks. It also interacts with other medications.
I suffer with osteoarthritis in most of my joints and have problems every day, so I do understand what you are going through.
t lie still in the bed. My doctor had prescribed me Soma for muscle spasm which I had been taking 1 each night before bedtime. Its a great relaxant but I cut them out too (completely) when I started tapering off the Roxicet. Would it be ok to take one at bedtime to help with the sleeplessness or am I backsliding? Is a muscle relaxer considered as bad as a narcodic?
t get much reduction in pain until they started an antispasmodic (Baclofen) plus a skeletal muscle relaxant (like Flexeril, Norfelx, Zanafelx) plus Valium at night.
The common warning applies: Just because I have MS, doesn't mean that every ache and pain is from the MS. I can still break a bone or twist an ankle or pull a muscle. Not every ache and pain is from MS.
No I didnt want to take any pain meds, try a hot water bottle, or a warm bath first if it doesnt help then speak to your doc about what is safe!
why is he having muscle spasms? I have taken flexeril and soma for many many years..( never that many at a time) I would think if his spasms are severe enough to do that he would go to a dr. or the ER. I hope he is ok....but the guy neeeds help and only a dr can do it....It may be from a chemical imbalance that he is getting the spasms...and no muscle relaxer will do anything for that long term.
