1653969 tn?1390331661 Actually muscle relaxers are considered to be a trigger for RLS in some people. You get RLS when your muscles relax, not when they contract, which is why RLS is so bad at night for most people...so when your muscles are FORCED to relax via a muscle relaxer, it can increase RLS. It stinks...but it happens in a good portion of people. I'm one of them!
232328 tn?1207090071 I have Flexeril 10 MG's that was prescribed to me. Will that help with RLS? Is 10 MG's pretty strong? Please let me know.
1563995 tn?1296002197 Today is day 6 for me and i feel awesome during the day, its just at night is when its gets a LITTLE rough. I get rls and i get it in my arms too. Ive been taking xanax which i HATE but its the only way i can fall asleep. I bought the sleepy time extra tea last night but couldnt bring myself to drink, it tastes HORRIBLE, to me, but im not a big tea drinker. My fiance still has his vicodin from getting his tooth pulled and i have not an ounce of desire to take one.
Avatar m tn does any know if a muscle relaxer would help with leg cramps i hate them so no worry of addiction but during the worst part of the rls whould they help my wife asked her dr.
Avatar f tn t say it was awesome and symptom free but much more bearable this last time. WHY you ask?!?! I took flexeril on days 1, 2 and 3. I stopped taking it yesterday because I had to return to work today, but I definitely believe the flexeril helped because it was so much more bearable this time. I'm by no means 100% but yesterday (day 4) I was functional and today I'm a little more functional.
Avatar m tn Flexeril and soma are both muscle relaxers....doesn't seem as if teking both each day would be of any benefit...flexeril is the safer of the two as far as addiction....there are some warnings posted as far as anti-depressents and some of the aminos...I was on lexapro (anti-depressent) during detox...nuerontin, I also take flexeril rarely but it can help you sleep..I followed the recipe without difficulty...
Avatar f tn zanaflex is a muscle relaxer like soma and flexeril...for me it knocked me out and can tolerate soma better...flexeril is the safest out of the 3 to take if u have to use a MR on a long term basis...i dont like feeling tired and avoid them like the plague...but short term, use what helps u the most..i never had rls or a lsleep problem..used ambien for sleep...had a out 6 valium and used pieces of those during the day for a few days..
Avatar f tn t believe anyone has mentionned gaba, yet it is supposed to be a sleeping and calming amino. does anyone know if it helps? i am thinking rls is a brain thing and maybe there is an amino for it.
Avatar f tn My uncle just turned 60 years old and a doctor recently diagnosed him with RLS. But, the symptoms just don't seem to fit the typical pattern. For the past 9 - 12 months, he has had symptoms of "burning feet" and shaking of the lower extremties. The symptoms are worse during the day, but seem to get better when he lays in bed (symptoms alleviate during the night). He has seen several doctors who have ruled out: athlete's foot, diabetes, Parkinson's Disease ...
Avatar m tn 2 glasses of wine helped me sleep last night..LOL...I am not a drinker. I may be doing that again tonight...better than pills. I did take Flexeril way back but didn't abuse it. It knocked me out completely.
Avatar f tn So, I have been having symptoms which I feel are in line with RLS but my doctor is disagreeing with me. My chief complaint has been ongoing, almost constant pain on a daily basis in my legs and sometimes my arms. I say pain but the feeling is more uncomfortable, twitchy, achy feeling. I have twitchy and achy legs at night that wake me up and keep me from going back to sleep. The only relief I get is when I get up and move around or wriggle my legs when I sit.
Avatar m tn ve been taking melatonin every night since I quit. Was taking flexeril and promethazine to try to help with sleep but it makes the rls exponentially worse. My sister is going to give me a couple of ambiens tonight. I've suffered from rls all my life so I guess I've been experiencing some major rebound. One of the more pleasant side effects from the opiates was that it controlled my rls like a dream.
402205 tn?1230481005 I think my friend is hooked on benadryl! I have taken 5 mg flexeril for chronic back pain for years and never had any problems with it...I will try to avoid them right now tho because they make me sluggish and I am already fatigued with my cut in dose of hydrocodne..anything can be abused...skelaxin is a fairly safe muscle relaxer.....
Avatar f tn Day 4 is very close to the time that physical withdrawals generally start subsiding. Of course, this all depends upon your dosages. 30mg Roxy's are pretty powerful things, so it may linger a while. I'm gonna be honest here, I tried Flexeril during most all of my detoxes. They never seemed to help me at all. That being said, I'm pretty tolerant to muscle relaxers, so none of them did me very much good even when I was using. Try them before bedtime, they may help you to sleep.
232328 tn?1207090071 Hi there. I was prescribed flexeril today for some back pain. Can anyone tell me exactly what it is? If it is addicting? Will it make me sleepy/hyper, etc?
Avatar m tn 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.
1415174 tn?1453243103 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?
810494 tn?1238463667 a memory built on with each wd.. this last was off as 25 or so a day norco habit so yeah rls.. Hot baths/showers as many as you can stomach.. as mentioned above... the Hylands restful leg you can get at walmart.. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they worked.. You will not escape this particular symptom but these suggestions make it manageable... If this fails or you want to try something different..Tonic water has Quinine in it...

5142668 tn?1364230745 I am not talking the night time twitching from RLS. I mean when I am sitting down and all of a sudden one of my legs will start to quiver and then it starts shaking so bad that it seems to be trying to run away without the rest of my body. I brought it up to the doc at our last follow up and she didn't seem concerned. She just told me to watch it and if it got worse to call her. Honestly I am embarressed to call since she seemed to not think it was a big deal the first time.
