Common Questions and Answers about Flexeril with oxycodone
flexeril
I have had back problems since I was in my teens (now in 40's) and have been in a few rear end collisions. I had been seeing Chiropractors and physical therapy doctors for years. 2 years ago the pain became unbearable and I saw a medical doctor. Anyway after multiple referals and doctors I had a sinal fusion last October with a Laminecomy, they also found a break in my spine which they fixed.
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?
My doctor also gave me a prescription for Hydrocodone Acetaminophen to take instead of the Oxycodone for when I was ready. I tried to replace the Oxycodone with the Hydrocodone but it gave me tremendous nausea and terrible anxiety the one day I took it...I almost had a panic attack in the middle of the night and thought my husband was going to have to cal 911! Does anyone have a suggestion for the best way I can wean off the meds?
I knew then he was addicted to the oxycodone. I have had to stay home from work with him for this whole week. He is not too bad during the daytime, but nighttime is terrible. I can't leave him alone at night. I have not been getting much sleep myself for fear he will do something he doesn't realize he is doing. I have taken him to our Dr. and he prescribed Ativan. I have been giving this to him like prescribed. I was wondering how long these very long nights will occur.
of Flexeril....I was prescribed 1 - 2 5 mg. tabs three times daily to deal with spasms. Since insurance would not approve the extended release flexeril, I had to stay with the generic and was told BY MY DOC to take 2 tabs 3 times daily for the spasms. I am also prescribed Dilaudid (2 mg. up to 4 times per day), but I don't use more than 1 per day now....pain is not so bad...just the spasms -- especially after PT!!!
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.
I had the Tylenol 3 first and then it wasn't helping so she decided that I could top up with Oxycodone, instead of going higher with the Tylenol 3's. I take 1 Oxycodone 4 times a day, and 2 Tylenol 3's 4 times a day. I do not think I have experienced and drowsiness on these medications, but definitely bursts of energy, and constipation, itchiness, and nausea, but thankfully no vomiting.
I use Flexeril for my spasticity. I often take 1-3 milligrams of Klonipin to augment the Flexeril.
I have heard of Buspar but don't know what type of medicine.
As far as the marijuana, it does help with spasticity and/or spasms. And I have heard that it helps with pain. It is legal here but I haven't applied to buy/use it. There are loopholes that concern me.
1. Even though it is legal for people with MS to use as a medicine, it's still illegal to buy.

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.
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.
Ended up giving me 10mg oxycontin 3x day, flexeril 2x, cambia (pill form) up to 2x a day and 5mg oxycodone 1-2 3-4 times a day. Made me nervous, but I went with it. Like when I was taking the 15mg, which I would break in half a lot of the time, I spread the 5mg out and with taking the oxycontin 3x a day, I was ok. Barely felt any change. I go in about 2 weeks ago for a refill and everything was the same except now the 5mg oxycodone was 1-2 a day.
I use three per 12 hour period along with oxycodone, tramadol, neurontin and flexeril for pain. All the talk about Fentanyl has me concerned. BTW I am so thankful for this forum, whether or not one posts one can gain so much valuable information without fear of judgement. Kudos to sandee for keeping it going and thanx to everyone for straight up honesty in your replies to questions.
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.
My physician initially put me on Kadian and Oxycodone and I've had two spinal cortisone injections. My pain is less but stil debilitating.
Another doctor has precripton Neutotin and Flexil.
Which is preferred by most physicians and how long can I expect to be in pain.
