metaxalone addiction

I have a decent but needy job so I need to do this around work. I have a bunch of Xanax and metaxalone (not sure if the muscle relaxers will help) but would love any additional suggestions that would help make this easier whilst holding down a full time job. Any ideas are welcome, seriously, just need some help here. Already feel like an idiot for getting this bad so don't want to go to my friends and my family are in another country.

X-ray revealed nothing, and I have been through chiropractic and physical therapy with marginal relief at best ( ~ 24 hours.) medications used include metaxalone, valium and ibuprofen. stiffness has remained constant, w/ a reduced ROM when flexing my neck laterally. I also occasionally experience shooting pain up the left side of my neck when i rotate my head in that direction. Neck remains inflamed and "cracks" often.

I was told the deep hip pain is caused by a deep spasm so close to the bone that you cannot see, but it is a spasm. Forget the technical name. Metaxalone was prescribed for me and it helps about 80% of the pain. I hope I answered your question, feel free to ping me if you have any more. I'm also in the MS community forum, and you can search Tysabri in the search field in that forum. We've had a ton of discussions on the drug. :) Hope you feel better soon!

Neither Skelaxin (metaxalone) nor Celebrex (celecoxib) cause dependence. Your body will not crave either medication. You will not develop tolerance to either medication, nor will you suffer withdrawal symptoms in their absence. The usual dose of Skelaxin is 800mg every 6 to 8 hours (three or four times a day). Do not exceed the maximum daily dose, and don't mix Skelaxin with alcohol, barbiturates, or other CNS depressants.

I just got switched to metaxalone 800mg and i cant say if they are better or worse than flexeril as they dont seem to affect me either. I am afraid to take more than two since they are 800mg but it might affect me, if it doesnt work i think i will switch back to flexeril as i feel safer taking a higher dose, honestly just because of the size of the metaxalone pills, which i know means nothing but I heard flexeril is the strongest so if something will help maybe that will.

The old standy from Flexeral causes so much sleepiness. One of the better ones that wont make you as sleepy is Metaxalone.

etc), the receptors in the brain are stimulates and they begin to rely on the opiate just like it relys on water to survive, only you will only feel like your dying once you deprive the receptors of the opiates after addiction has taken over. My advice is not to take anything everyday that you do not want to become dependent on. I have been an addict for 3.years of oxycodone which is an opiate like norco.

i'm addicted to gravol really bad, i take 30 or more daily plus methadone at 50 mg and this is administered by my pharmacist, he doesn't know about my gravol addiction, i'm lost and don't know what to do

Hi Teri. Welcome. Your husband has to want to stop. No one can make him. Not you, not anyone. He has to want to be clean more than he wants to be high. I can't tell you what to do. I would suggest you seek out Alanon. They can give you some direction. Good luck. I know you're hurting. Just remember that addiction is a very powerful disease. Your husband is sick. But he has to want to get well.

I have been struggling with hydrocodone addiction for about 16 months. I had 8 teeth cut out which took over 3 months to heal. I couldnt stop taking them. I hate myself right now and have for about a year when I realized I was addicted. This can happen to anyone no one is invincable of this.

i'm so sorry you are going thru this again John....but you know the drill...pick yourself up and move forward! don't beat yourself up about it...what's done is done...just gotta change things now and figure out what you can do diff to stay clean....once you stop yo-yo-ing back and forth between diff opiates and stay clean for a good amount of time, you will feel much better ok? hoping the best for you....keep posting for support...

Making a discovery like that is no fun at all. It sounds like your husband has a sexual addiction. In my opinion, he is going to need counseling if he wants to overcome it. And that's the key, he will have to want to overcome it. You can't make him stop and if he's addicted he won't be able to stop on his own.

I would check around and see if you can get into a sympathetic hospital or clinic that sees people with addiction. That really is the only way. Check out the Addiction forum. I wish you well, Pikut. It is very possilbe to get off the Ativan, but you need to have really good medical supervision and support in order to do so.

Grape juice,cheez it white cheddar,pickles,chips,I ha e a lot of addiction I have to have everyday at least once

Let me start off by saying please don't judge me... I'm addicted to pills I do need them I have back problems and anxiety and depression.. The Dr. Did give me depression medicine but it doesn't seem to be helping. I cry about my addiction every day. I haven't talk to anyone about my addiction because I don't want anyone to judge me. It's killing me inside and making me more stressed out. Does anyone know how to just quit? I know that sound stupid but I'm for real.

Hi doctor..I am 38 weeks pregnant and had an addiction for percocets and just quit 2 days ago..I asked around to some lady's who has had children and some say I'll be ok some say I won't..how long does it take to get that drug out of mine and the baby's system while the baby is still in me?

That's not bad. I get such bad heartburn I'll go through a bottle in a couple days! Just more calcium. :) lately I can't get enough grapes! I buy a new bag every other day.

I did get bad withdrawl symtomes the first time I quite but I was on it for maybe 4months but I would take about 5 pills (50mg) everyday and I did have bad withdrawls but I have always seem to have andaaddiction to tramadol idk why....

That is what i did...

I have been taking hydrocodone for almost 3 yrs. I've been on and off of them on my own several times. But now it's getting harder to come off them on my own. My boyfriend always seems to justify my addiction because of my back problems and is no help to me. Even when I tell him I'm taking them even when I'm not in pain, he still justifies it for me. I know I'm addicted. And I could really use his help and support. I'm at a loss. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.

If you go on the addiction forum of MedHelp, there is alot of information on how to make a detox more comfortable. Just ask the members over there and they will direct you to the "Thomas Recipe". It is some overthe counter and herbal remedies that can help you thru it. Also you can find other people that are going thru it and have gone thru it to give you some moral support. Best of luck to you!!!
