Metaxalone with alcohol

Common Questions and Answers about Metaxalone with alcohol

skelaxin

Avatar m tn Hello youngdude421. 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn Like most I have always had general back pain I had several surgeries a few years ago where I was in the hospital 2 weeks with gallstones that dissolved and part of the sludge entered my pancreas that ate a hole through it causing 10 litters of fluid to build up behind my lungs. They basically cut me sternum to spine that & used a rib splitter. it causes pain under my breast still. Then last year was in a car accident that caused bulging discs to hit nerves in my lumbar and cervical.

Avatar n tn That's 3500 mg of acetaminophen which isn't a huge amount. It is quite a bit if taken at one time though but to be honest I have taken much more than that at once and for a extended period of time. Luckily I didn't do any damage to my liver or kidneys. You should be just fine since you haven't made a habit out of it. As I'm sure you know, mixing alcohol with acetaminophen is a very bad combination so make sure you don't do that again.
Avatar m tn I’m not trying to convince anyone that they should or shouldn’t use alcohol with cooking. If it makes you nervous, don’t use it. There are alternatives. I choose to use it and seriously don’t see enough alcohol used to make a difference. ”. As far as damaging the liver, I don’t see it. I respect what Boobert stated “i'm 10 years sobor next month and vowed never to taste alcohol again”.
Avatar f tn I know not intake alcohol spike pregnant, but when you cook with it... does the alcohol evaporate just leaving you with the flavor? If so, I wanna make some.
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.
Avatar n tn You definitely should not be drinking alcohol with this combination of drugs. You're taking a high dose of xanax - that alone with alcohol would cause the effects of the alcohol to be exacerated. Mixing the two could also be fatal. Both are central nervous system depressants. Drinking alcohol may also increase your risk of certain Abilify side effects, such as drowsiness or low blood pressure (when sitting or standing up). You may also be more sensitive to the effects of alcohol.
1259902 tn?1269660681 Many people find life easier to deal with by consuming alcohol, self medicating. We all know this can be a slippery slope so you need to tread lightly with this. Since your anxiety gets worse after drinking....why drink? Panic attacks are not worth a couple of drinks in my opinion. Take care....
1084115 tn?1385228589 The fruitcakes were baked 6 weeks in advance, kept tightly wrapped in the refridgerator, and rum or some other alcohol was added daily and the fruitcakes were turned daily. Those fruitcakes were saturated with alcohol. Anyway, not to put a damper on things, but some baked goods with alcohol have the alcohol added after baking.
Avatar m tn I think I have finally had enough. After taking that pill last night and risking danger to my liver along with the alcohol I have decided to try to quit.
Avatar f tn As the previous poster has stated, NEVER mix alcohol with an anti-depressant. Alcohol is a depressant, and the two combined can cause depression to come back and at times become worse. You can also take too much of one and OD. It will also increase the effects of the medicine, and in some cases this is not a good thing to have.
Avatar m tn Your body can store sugar, fat, and water, but it has no way to deal with alcohol other than to filter it out. When alcohol gets into your bloodstream, your body essentially treats it like poison and prioritizes processing it. Your body works to process alcohol first so that other things like the water and sugar may go to storage, causing water retention. Fluids start to collect in your body tissue, and gravity makes water collect in your feet and sometimes your hands.
1621722 tn?1333050499 Welcome to the forum. None of us are qualified to give you any sort of diagnosis, especially online. If you're using alcohol as a way to deal with anxiety and depression, you could be heading down a slippery slope. It already sounds as though you need to figure out exactly how bad your "problem" with alcohol is...and the sooner the better, before it gets any worse.
967168 tn?1477584489 still no info on why this recommendation on my cardiac cath and no alcohol; however I did find this - Limit alcohol intake.
718543 tn?1230295284 I am sorry you are going through this bought with depression. The Alcohol threads are always controversial here. Normally, I am from the camp that if you have minimal liver damage and you would like to have an occasional drink, go for it. However, drinking because of depression can be flirting with disaster (especially if you have a past history of diving to the bottom of a bottle to ease depression). I know very little about co-infection and it’s effects on the liver.
Avatar f tn You surely should not drink any alcohol at all while taking pain medication, or any medication for that matter.
