Flexeril side effects
Common Questions and Answers about Flexeril side effects
flexeril
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!
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.
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.
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.
I have been doing warm pool therapy and exercises to strengthen my core, and am certainly doing a lot better. Enough to try getting off the 20 mg flexeril at night, but have been having side effects from this.
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.
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.
t seem to be doing anything which is why I was switched, but the side effects (Vomiting, muscle weakness) from the Baclofen were so rough I honestly would rather live in pain.
With my spasticity I go through periods when it is really bad and periods of relief where I don't seem to have any at all or it is really mild, which is why I preferred to stay on something like Flexeril, but it just wasn't doing the trick when I had spasticity flare ups.
Hi Thirdeye,
Good to hear from you but sorry about your issues the Muscle Spasms and medications to relieve it.
Tizanidine is used to relieve the spasms and increased muscle tone caused by multiple sclerosis (MS ). Apparently it is being used "off label" to treat your muscle spasms... unless you have MS and I have forgotten that fact. It is a short acting agent and is usually prescribed two or more often three times a day.
