Avatar f tn I feel like I need a quick fix short term till the pristiq kick in. Would I benefit from diazapam or some form of muscle relaxant??
Avatar m tn I am not familiar with a patch or cream that contains a muscle relaxer. So I have done a search for a Muscle Relaxant Patch or Cream and turned up nothing. Usually I can find it on line if it exists. This is not to say there isn't one. So many medications are coming out in the transdermal application that it would not surprise me if there is now a muscle relaxant the is delivered through the skin.
Avatar n tn But then she also took (the correct dose) 10 mg of a prescription medicine Guaifenesin-Codeine syrup (generic for Robitussin AC syrup). It doesn't state on the label the quantity of Guaifenesin mg in the 5mL dose. How much is too much Guaifenesin?

Avatar f tn That said, baclofen is a special kind of muscle relaxant that is generally prescribed for spasticity. Unless you suffer from a palsy-type disease, or have been diagnosed with a condition like tortion dystonia, baclofen may not be the best muscle relaxant for you. Ask your doctor the reasons she is weaning you from baclofen, and for a substitute muscle relaxant.
Avatar n tn It is a Benzodiazepine, which is a muscle relaxant not a pain killer. A muscle relaxant for the treatment of muscle spasm associated with acute painful musculoskeletal conditions. (www.cbc.ca/news) The I also gleaned a lot of information from drugs.com. Hope I've helped.
877337 tn?1249844450 Hypothyroid people can have a lot of body pain. Hypo effects all organs, including muscles. The time for the muscles to rebuild is greatly increased, thus morning soreness. Muscles will knot up, swell, and put pressure on the nerve sheaths, which in return can cause the tingling, electric shock feel. There are many related posts on this just in the last month. Vitamin B's , potassium and magnesium are important for muscles.
1035021 tn?1296820707 Cause a doctor told me that xanax was a very good muscle relaxant. I suffer besides (included in my anxiety) of muscular stress so this medication has fit perfect for all this symptoms included the panic attacks and anxiety.
Avatar f tn It requires you to take upto, but not limited to 2400mg of guaifenesin (Mucinex) daily. He says that with this protocol, you will notice that your symptoms will at first become worse, but will gradually disappear. He swears this is the way to reverse fibro. Now, when I heard this, I was obviously a little skepticle (who wouldn't be when you are told that Mucinex is the cure for fibro!) So I wanted to know if anyone here has heard of or tried this approach.
Avatar n tn e valium. Carisoprodol is generally used as a muscle relaxant, for bad muscle sprains or from an injury. Since it is structurally related and is a pro-drug to meprobamate, it does have abuse potential especially combining it with opiates or other sedatives. Taken alone is makes you feel relaxed, rarely any euphoria, and very drowsy, but in combination with opiates it adds to the euphoria fealt from opiates and sedative sides effects.

279234 tn?1363105249 I've been having trouble with an increase with my spasticity/muscle spasms lately. I'm currently on Baclofen for this issue. My neuro said that I could raise the dose according to how much spasticity I'm in, but not to exceed 100mg. My problem isn't the dosage, it's how long it last, especially at night. I'll take a dose before bed, but by early morning, I'm in horrible shape.
Avatar f tn Hi i can confirm that the cough syrup is robitussin chesty cough medicine that contains (guaifenesin) only.Its in a red and black box.I have never noticed my cervical mucus ever before and this was my first month on clomid.I took robitussin every morning and evening (5ml dose).You only take it after AF has ended and stop when you ovulate.I drank a glass of grapefruit juice every morning as its supposed to help CM too.

1580703 tn?1651904887 There is no evidence that high dose vitamin C, certainly not 2,000 IU a day, will exacerbate asthma. C is, however a mild diuretic and if you are on an expectorant (which requires good hydration) the mucus may not clear as well. It will in no way inactivate your immune system.
1983221 tn?1333506185 Does anyone else suffer from bad calf pain? If so, any suggestions on what helps? I just took a muscle relaxant and it hasn't touched the pain. I find it very hard to walk, especially up and down the stairs. Any advice would be welcome.
1352638 tn?1277025232 1/4 of a 4????? What exactly does that mean. I take 1/2 of 5mg and it just relaxes me. It is more of a muscle relaxant. I don't understand your 1/4 of a 4. What is the 4? And yes. Anxiety can do all kinds of things to you.
233622 tn?1279334905 You may find with use in the long term, that you will be able to tolerate a higher dose. I have taken about every other muscle relaxant on the market and have found none better for me, than good old Baclofen. Hope you continue to feel better. Am glad to hear that it's helping your spasms. That's good news sweetheart and I know it's a big relief for you to have found something that actually works.
715482 tn?1286833249 he will only have the mental wd from going cold turkey, he will have cravings, anxiety and mild insomnia, so see about finding some hydroxyzine(a older generation anti-histamine, that most docs put you on when you are low enough on a benzo to replace going cold turkey, it is a muscle relaxant, mild euphoriant, and mainly anti-anxeity drug, it is very effective, many patients happily have switched over from 1mg xanax to 50-100mg hydroxyzine)..i had to do it and it worked well...
1460652 tn?1340248730 has anyone ever had pvcs/pacs while on the muscle relaxant flexeril? for the last couple of months my constant pvcs have been actually somewhat manageable, or at least tolerable. then i was involved in a car accident and was prescribed flexeril 7 days ago. the palps started 30 mins after the first pill. i just thought it was stress from the accident and "oh great, the skips are back"...until they became debilitating, and my bp dropped to 90/50, where as it is usually 115/75.
Avatar f tn 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.
462621 tn?1206722120 I just had my dog euthanized and it was the worst experience of my life! Before she was euthanized she was given a muscle relaxant. I felt so bad for her, she couldn't move and her tongue kept falling on the floor. I have searched the internet to see if muscle relaxants were used prior to euthanasia but there wasn't much information. She was also blinking which leads me to believe she was concious.
