flexeril

Avatar f tn 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!!! Keep staying strong hun!!!! You know, Ibuprofen or naproxin works great too and you can get them over the counter. Good luck!!!
363110 tn?1340920419 I'm on this board and also the pain mgmt board since I deal with chronic back pain. after taking my norco for 1 week I chose to dump the rest out this was last monday. We're at almost a week without now and I hurt like hell (prior back injury w/nerve damage) and I'm not sleeping well or eating well. after 1 day the stomach problems stopped and it took the first 3 days for my pain to level out, my pain has leveled out at about a 4 most times but can spike to an 8 or 9 with activity.
2027954 tn?1329062151 Flexeril isn't narcotic or addictive. On the other hand, Somas are. Flexeril should be ok to take.
Avatar f tn t work for me, however, it works quite well for my dad (who has a back problem with muscle spasms). Flexeril works pretty well for me, but like you, it makes me VERY sleepy. My prescription for it calls for three a day - but believe me, if I were to take 3 in a day, I wouldn't get out of bed! I've also tried Soma and that also worked pretty well for me and was not as sedating (for me anyway) as the flexeril.
1943759 tn?1324045251 If he cant or wont get medical help and perscription pain meds, aleve might help. If he doesnt want opiates but can get scripts then neurontin might help. It helps with nerve pain. I take it as I have nerve damage in my spine. I also take oxycodone and the 2 of them work well together for me.
Avatar m tn We cannot figure out what is wrong with my mom. developed a new symptom today that is worrying, tiny veins on her fingertips "poking" out/very visible took down all her symptoms & a little bit of what happened before. It's in the best order I could remember please help..spent $1000 we don't have - Went for periodontal cleaning day prior. Had been in severe tooth pain for 3 days. Had 2 antibiotic pellets inserted into gums.
7530804 tn?1398546771 I havent taken any medication while pregnant but woke up feeling like I had been run over. I googled a bit and decided to take an Aleve about a hour ago. I feel fine and my baby boy is moving like crazy, I just wanted to know if anyone else has taken Aleve while pregnant? Or have been told anything by their Dr? Thank you!
Avatar m tn You should be OK on those things but I would not start at the full doses of L-Tyrosine. Build up 500mg at a time and see how you do. You shouldn't need the valium with the Flexeril. Neurontin sometimes has helped with w/ds so that should actually benefit you.
1415174 tn?1453243103 I've tried both Soma and Flexeril (not at same time!) for muscle relaxers (I have fibromyalgia, lupus, severe arthritis). Really the only side effect I've experienced with the Flexeril is that it makes me VERY sleepy, but when I'm hurting and having trouble getting the rest that I need, that actually is a good thing!
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 I just seen that you posted. Sorry so long to get back with you. The flexeril never helped me. It did not even make me sleepy. Why don't you call the posion control hotline and believe it or not they can help you. If not they can give you a number to call. If you don't want to do that call your local er and let them know what's going on for him.
Avatar f tn Before getting pregnant i was taking tramadol and flexeril to take the edge off if my jaw started locking up. Now my ob just has me on the lowest dose of flexeril but it seems to do nothing for it. Just 10 more weeks though i think i can make it if i've gotten this far.
757527 tn?1237893063 My doctor prescribed 5mg Flexeril daily. I took one last night and my pain went from a 8 (on a 10 scale) to about a 3. Has anyone else tried these? Can they be used long term? I'd rather not have to rely on medicine, but if this is helping me, I may have to stick with it. I also get myofascial massages, use warm heat, take Vit B50, and am trying some new supplements for muscles and joints.
511488 tn?1214620496 If you are unsure if your med is an SSRI, ask your pharmacist (many anti-depressants are). They is a contraindication with these two meds., if you take them together, you will almost always develop what is called serotonin syndrome. In short, it causes a build up of serotonin in the brain and can lead to headaches/migraines, seizures and even death. Please be careful if you use tramadol either necessarily or recreationally.
1653969 tn?1390331661 The instant sleep thing will go away after you establish a routine with it. Wish that I could really help you - but yours isnt a common complaint with flexeril. Do you do any breathing exercises? A couple of minutes of tai chi and meditation and particularly the breathing exercises are very valid therapies.
Avatar f tn Has anyone been experiencing with middle and upper back pain with lyme. It feels very achy and my legs are so painful, I can hardly walk these days. It used to be just my legs and now my back feels terrible today...any thoughts guys??
Avatar m tn m unsure of just how damaging Flexeril is to the kidneys. My only other medicine history has been with Ketoconazole, and that stuff is practically toxic for your liver.
Avatar f tn I was prescribed this for extreme violent muscle spasms. Dr said non narcotic non addictive. Well my experience with Dr and Percocet i no longer believe in their opinion. So experts can u give me truth. Thanks so much.
1415174 tn?1453243103 PT was doing a manual adjustment did wrong leg and caused major pain, sat too much. 3. was laying on bed with knees bent and left knee fell out to left side (free fall) and I felt a tear but don't know if there was. I have had chronic pain since in one spot on my low back near the L5-S1 area on the buttock sort of near the SI joint. I had a MRI of lower back and bone scan before injury #3 and it was totally normal. I had a hip Xray after injury 3 and it was also normal.
Avatar f tn 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.
221387 tn?1210933058 You are OK with flexeril ..... it would take a specific test to find that. A basic screen is just looking for drugs that are popularly abused. And they are expensive to do.
Avatar f tn This can occur spontaneously in people with certain conditions that affect the blood vessels, after neck trauma (such as with coughing), or after chiropractic manipulation of the neck. The pain is often but not always associated with some sort of neurologic deficit as a dissection can often lead to a stroke. A dissection is diagnosed with a specific type of MRI test (MRA with fat saturation) or an CT angiogram. If the pain is localized in the shoulder, you may have a muscle strain, etc.
Avatar f tn I WOULD SUGGEST USING EITHER ADVIL, TYLENOL OR ALEVE TO HELP WITH THE INFLAMATION. MY PHYSICAL THERAPIST USES AN ULTRASOUND MACHINE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HELP WITH THE PAIN ALSO. I HAVE HAD 10 EPIDURAL INJECTIONS & THE FIRST TIME I GOT THEM THEY DIDN'T HELP, BUT I TRIED TWO OTHER PEOPLE & THE THIRD PERSON THAT GAVE ME THE INJECTIONS GOT IT IN THE RIGHT PLACE & IT REALLY HELPED ME FOR 4 TO 5 MONTHS. SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO TRY DIFFERENT PEOPLE UNTIL YOU FIND A GOOD ONE.
Avatar m tn I am new to this site, saw your post, and feel compelled to tell you about my experience with Flexeril. Several years ago I was having serious neck spasms, so my doctor prescribed Flexeril. I don't remember the milligram, it was standard, and I was to take 3 a day. 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.
