metaxalone withdrawal

I tKe it as prescribed I have never gone over the maximum dose, I am just concerned about possible withdrawal or anything like that from skelaxin. I have read up on it a lot and it seems pretty harmless and safe, especially compared to other back pain medications. I have refused somas and other narcotics because I don't want to go down that road. Just concerned if say I work 5 days in a row and I take the skelaxin every day. Than I'm off for two days.

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 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.

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!

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.

said the baby would probably be born with some withdrawal symptoms. My son showed signs of withdrawal about 24 hours after he was born. They put him in the NICU and started him on a standard dose of morphine to start weening him. I felt terrible. It was my fault that he was having to go thru this. He spent 4 days in the NICU hooked up to monitors to watch his respirations and heart rate.

Hi, I was wondering if any of u feel really weak when going through withdrawal? Like it's just really hard to even go up the stairs? It's also hard to even get a deep breath. OMG when does it end???!!!!

In my and others experience, the best withdrawal method is a process of cutting back your dosage over time. Going into a rehab unit is pure hell. And anyway you are not an addict. Take it slow friend. In my humble opinion the vicodin you may want to stay on the longest. Percs make me feel depressed. Vicodin does not do that. I am a pain patient. This may sound counter intuitive but oxycontin acts longer with getting a less addictive buzz or high like one does on vikes(hydrocodone).

I have been taking vicodin and tramadol for over 15 years and really want to stop taking them because they are ruining my life. But the pain from withdrawal is unbearable. I am at my wits end n don't know how to ease the withdrawal symptoms. Any ideas?

will i experience withdrawal symptoms? i know that no one can say for sure, but there must be someone out there who can speak to this situation that i am in. i am frightened, or more appropriately, i have a sense of dread about having to go through withdrawal on top of all of the other health problems that i have right now. in may of last year i was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and in feb of this year i was diagnosed with crohn's.

I am trying to ween off I am down to 1/2 in morning 1/2 at night. I am feeling withdrawal symptoms already is it going to get worse once I stop? I am taking a lot of vitamin and trying the thomas recipe but I feel terrible and I have to work.

I think the typical withdrawal is 4-5 days of the intense phsyical symptoms. I do not know about methadone. Try wrapping your legs in ace bandage for the rls. It helped me.

Can anyone tell me how long the withdrawal symptoms last when coming off Oxycontin? I've been taking 300mg a day for the last four years because of spinal disease. I've now decided I'd rather suffer the pain than deal with this drug anymore. I no longer have any interest in anything and spend most of my days watching TV. After doing my research, I've decided it's the drug from hell and I really need to stop.

I hope someone can help me. I have been doing the Ashton Manual withdrawal method to come off of Klonopin. I am done with the Klonopin but now have to wean off the Valium. Everyday is pure agony. When will this end? I have been off of Klonopin for 2 months now and have been doing the withdrawal for 8 months and it is NOT getting better, only worse. I am now on 10 mg of Valium in the morning and 4 mg at night cutting 1 mg a week. I cannot see this getting any better.

Could be withdrawal, but also during the night our blood sugar changes as we sleep so maybe get it checked. Good luck!

If you are having blurred vision and confusion I would encourage you to seek medical care asap - I highly doubt that is still from vicodin withdrawal and you may have other issues going on. Usually the worst of the withdrawals is the first 5 days then you would just feel weak for a couple weeks. What you are experiencing is not normal. Call your doctor or go to ER.

In most cases there are no major risks to withdrawing on your own but you have to keep in mind that there are a combination of factors to consider - your age, your health, how severe your withdrawal symptoms are and other specific issues you may have. It is always better to have your prescribing physician aware of your plans and/or supervise you in case you need his assistance or if you have any questions throughout the process. Wish you a safe and fast withdrawal.

I have been trough this before but I dont know what I can do to make the withdrawal symptoms not so bad. What kind of vitamins, if any, can I take or does anyone have any suggetions on making it a little easier?

It shouldn't be too bad, I know alcohol withdrawal can be really bad and really dangerous. It shouldn't be too be because you only used 2-3 a day but if you have been using them contiuously for 2 years than you can't avoid the withdrawals because you have changed the opiate receptors in your brain and they need time to go back to normal.
