ibuprofen and soma

IDK about percocet. I now have a back injury and chronic pain and was previously on Soma and Norco. 2 every 6 hrs. I'm TTC #2 and OFF the Soma, as well as on a lower dose of Norco. It's either I take norco or ibuprofen, and Ibuprofen (and other NSAIDS) have risk of miscarriage or heart issues. So you have to weigh the benefits and the cons.

i live with chronic pain ,i have degeneritive disc desease,two broken feet that never healrd right,mild lower lumbar pain,and arthritis.i have been on lorecet and soma, now i have hep c and i need to know of something safer for my liver. and dont say overthe counter medication i have tried them all.

I am day 7 off of norco + soma. I recently had 2 spinal fusion and feel a lot of residual nerve pain in the groin/glut area and some down the back of the leg. Been taking Ibuprofen (2 tablets of 200 mg) in the morning ...around late afternoon... if needed before I sleep. 6 tablet total for the day. I used to take 3 tablets when I went for runs that were over 6 miles but that was all I took in one day... every 3 days or so, no problem.

During this last pregnancy I was referred to Pain MGMT (I had been on Norco and Soma prior to my pregnancy and it did help my pain but the Soma made me have bad side effects) . Pain mgmt however is NOT willing to do further imaging studies to pinpoint my pain.

Hi there, In my opinion, I would stay away from the muscle relaxers. The ones you mentioned are very sedating, and in some states SOMA is considered a controlled substance. I would try OTC pain meds - it just depends on what works best for you - Aleve, Tylenol, Ibuprofen, etc., all really do a good job of alleviating pain. If the OTC's don't work, you doctor can always prescribe a non-narcotic pain reliever, but I'd give the OTC's a try.

I refused, and they relented and prescribed me Soma. A muscle relaxant. I took one tablet last night, and a half tablet this morning. Tonight I just found out that this class of muscle relaxants works similarly to pain pills, which I was unaware of. I am upset at this doctor, and at myself for not checking this out ahead of time, and for assuming the doctor was acting in my best interest.

The only meds that are non-addictive you can get over the counter, like Ibuprofen and acetaminophen. I don't think muscle relaxers are addictive, except for Soma, at least in my experience, and can sometimes be helpful with neck and back pain. Ibuprofen or Naproxen is good for inflamation and muscle relaxers for spasms. I am not sure what else you can take or what you are looking for.

I had SEVERE back pain and recently had to endure 2 spinal fusions. Was on vicodin or norco + soma (at night only for 3 yrs or so) and the past year I had to up the dose to 3-4x daily. I recently went cold turkey as I felt I was killing myself with all the medication that my pain doctor kept putting me on (long lasting oxy, morphine, patches...the works) to get me OFF the other stuff. It was all madness!!

soma is more like valium. all three are addicting, so really it's not a good idea to use it for w/d, in my opinion.

As for my pain, I have pretty good pain control with Lortab, but I also take Soma or Zanaflex. I have DDD and DJD. The Soma helps with muscle spasms. Sometimes I only have to take 1 of the 2. The type surgery I have, my stomach is completely detached. No food goes into the stomach. It still produces gastric juices and the pass on into intestines. But for the pain... Yes I must break Lortab in half along with Soma and Zanaflex. I am on a butt load of other meds.

I have severe chronic back pain due to an auto accident I was in many years ago. I've been on several different muscle relaxers including Skelaxin and Flexeril. Skelaxin did not help me at all but Flexeril did. The Flexeril worked great for many years until it stopped and I had to switch to a new med and that's when my Dr put me on the Soma. The Soma does work great but I struggle to keep it under control.

Thank you. There are minimal amounts of aspirin in the Fiourinal and Soma compound, so I was very confused when one doc said one thing and the other doc said another. I don't usually listen to docs about meds. They often don't know much. I always talk to the pharmacist. Now, the pharmacists have these stupid little handheld computer things and there was no magic number in there. I had NOT heard of an interaction with the Soma inhibiting uptake. I'll have to ask about that.

The doctor gave me 90 pills to take 1 three times a day until I see the doctor that is going to give me some kind of shots to relieve the pain and inflamation, I just got the prescription today and I took one about 2 hours ago and I started feeling really dizzie and that is when I called the pharmacy to see what was the non generic name and they say is soma and I remember reading about soma and I was like oh s******** No I'm not abusing them and I don't want to either I just want to fe

I had a drug test done and I am in pain management. I take Soma 350 and my test came back negative for Soma but positive for Meprobamate. I only take the Soma when needed. My questions are, how long does Soma stay in your system and what is Meprobamate?

m feeling better with massage and chiro therapy i take SOMA 350 mg alt days as its addictive so my mother is take walmart D3 low dose so it can't hurt to try

I would let the vet know what had happened just so that if you DO end up having to take him to the office in an emergency (if the pill makes him sick) he will know what has happened.

That is a lot of Soma even when use to it, 15 a day will still affect your motor skills memory and a few other things..add the xanax I do not think functioning properly would define it.. We all have a past maybe it is time to deal with it.. If you just started the xanax I would suggest giving them to someone you trust you are taking way to much.. The soma has to be tapered as does the xanax ... I'm awake if you would like to talk..

i am new here. I read a few forums and such. Me and hubby take Lortab and Soma. Soma's like 15-20 a peice at night just to sleep. I take about 9 Lortab's a day and he takes god only knows how many a day. Between the both of us we go through 90ish every other day. We get some legitamately and some not. We want to stop now. We are scared of withdrawals and neither one of us can afford to miss work or let our families know.

I currently take 800mg 3xday of Skelaxin and there are no dependence issues at all, so I think you would be fairly safe not relapsing. I have read posts on here regarding soma which is a muscle relaxer and apparently it is addicting. You can also take upto 800mgs of IBprofen 3xday which really helps with muscle and joint pain. I'm not telling you to do this, just a recommendation, check with your doctor first.

me and my wife have been taking vicodin and soma up to 20 times a day for the past 6 or 7 years, we have tried many times to stop. I get most of our pills from mexico. She already has depression and only gets severely depressed when we don't have our pills. I used to be strong but now I find myself so weak, what can I do? Before something bad happens, we have 2 young kids too, otherwise I would go to a rehab.

I will try to keep this as short as possible. I know you generally don't titrate but if someone could help me a bit I think it may be the only way I'm going to possibly make it. I had back surgery, as told pain was from collapsed disk. Pain didn't leave and I was told the pain would go if I got off the pills. Went Rapid Detox. Pain stayed. Ended back on pain meds. Was told when I built up back pain would leave.

Thanks for the further clarification. Lexapro also goes by the name Escitalopram, so you can use that drug/treatment. It's already on the mood tracker. We'll add Adderall to our list of requested tracked values and let you know when it's available. For the pain tracker, Vicodin will be an option available next week. We'll add Soma to our list and let you know when that's available.

5 during the day. I take 1-1/2 Soma at night. Soma does a better job of relieving pain and allowing sleep. I have to sleep on my stomach because of the broken scapula. It always hurts but gets a burning pain if I sit back in a Lazy Boy for more than 20 minutes or anything touching it. Doc Rx'd me 4 Lortab, 4 Soma and 3 Valium 10mg a day(I only take 1-1/2 10mg valium a day. If I had taken as prescribed I would be a drooler and a terrible addict.

I take Hydrocodone 10/500-4 times a day, Soma 350mg-4 times a day, Celexa 20mg-once a day, Lipitor 20mg-once a day, Enjuvia 0.9mg-once a day, Motrin 1600mgs a day, Asprin 350mg-4 times a day, all these everyday for over a year. I had to take pain management urine drug test and it tested positive for Benzodiazepines and they said my Soma didn't show up at all.

Theres an old saying about Soma "Soma Coma" and for good reason........... and yes it is and can be very dangerous to mix Somas with other meds........ Somas are very strong muscle relaxers...be careful.........

I have a call out to the lactaction nurse but she has not called me back yet. Has anyone heard of the pill Soma and should I take this while breastfeeding? I would love to hear opions on this.
