1243543 tn?1269124022 I told my doc nothin was workin so she gave me a xray and said i have mild rematoid arthritis in my neck and really bad muscle spasms which is causing the sharp pains in my head that last for only about a min but hurt really bad and my neck and shoulder pain.Its hard to understand why its causing the head pain but she says its all connected and gave me a script for generic flexell cyclobenzaprine 10mg amneal.I dont like to take any meds so im a little scared.
10592317 tn?1416534566 I found out two weeks ago that I have gallstones. Yesterday I was prescribed pain meds and a muscle relaxer. I took the muscle relaxer and I got really sick from it. Throwing up, dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, fatigue, shakes, weak. Well I went to bed hours later and woke up feeling panicky. I felt very sick, shaking, weak like I'm going to pass out. I figured the muscle relaxer would have worn off by now because it says take every 6 hours and I never took it again.
Avatar n tn The patches are a godsend and i can maintain a 4-5 pain scale.You do not mention a sleep aid or a muscle relaxer as part of your meds. I consider them both mandatory for this curse.
Avatar f tn I went to my suboxone doctor and he did a cortisone shot, trigger shots, mri, and prescribe a muscle relaxer. The muscle relaxer helped a bit, but the no amount of NSAIDs or suboxone seem to help with the amount of pain I was having. The same doctor urged me to start Percocet which I declined for a few weeks until I couldn't take it any more, so I gave in. The Percocet barely helped with keeping the withdrawl away at 10mg 4x a day. Plus, the longest it seems to work is 1-2hours.
Avatar f tn I had the Tylenol 3 first and then it wasn't helping so she decided that I could top up with Oxycodone, instead of going higher with the Tylenol 3's. I take 1 Oxycodone 4 times a day, and 2 Tylenol 3's 4 times a day. I do not think I have experienced and drowsiness on these medications, but definitely bursts of energy, and constipation, itchiness, and nausea, but thankfully no vomiting.
Avatar f tn Yes cyclobenzapine is a muscle relaxed too. More for muscle spasms. It says online that it's category B during pregnancy.
655875 tn?1295695107 I was switched to Robaxin and I can not take it due to the side effects. There is only one more in the muscle relaxer group and the doc has never even heard of it. I don't know what we are going to do. I need a muscle relaxer to relax the muscles in my shoulders. Ya'll have a great week and weekend. There is no internet access at the cabin.
669241 tn?1236264344 re both opiates, and both addictive just to let you know, but they do ease the pain when taken with an anti-inflammatory (ibuprofen800mg) and a muscle relaxer of some sort, it used to be my bed-time cocktail that seemed to do the trick. take away the muscle-relaxer and i could handle day-time tasks! i just started amitriptyline 4 weeks ago and i'm still waiting to feel any benefit from them besides a sleeping pill with side effects!
1401023 tn?1280781358 I do understand how helpful a muscle relaxer is in the medication regimen when you need it. I am recently off Soma, my muscle relaxer, and I am really noticing the difference. I have a good reason to be off it, though, so I'm eeking by with the oxycodone. Maybe you could talk to the doctor about a different muscle relaxer? I have heard that valium works well, and I'm sure after one gets used to it, it doesn't knock one out as it does at first.
Avatar m tn And I would love any additional suggestions on how to deal with w/d symptoms besides just taking a hot shower and ibuprofen. I have a muscle relaxer...I guess I could take one of those and just sleep. What is my best way to go about doing this successfully?? I need this to be over so I can be a happy person again.
Avatar f tn to take for being sick, which helped. Then I was put on oxycodone 7-325 , plus muscle relaxer and nerve blocker. But am off all meds. now and went thru some awful withdrawls. I tried to get help with going off and was offered "methadone" and I choose to do it on my own. Not an easy task. After so long the pain meds. won't work, then what? Myself I am glad to be off them as there was alot of side effects. I started out on vicodin 500mg.
Avatar f tn So he takes 6-8 10mg/325mg of oxycodone a day, 1-2 10mg of cyclobenzaprine (muscle relaxer) a day, 1-2 ambien at nights and now the dr just added 2 10mg of methadone a day. By night he is slurring his speech, falling asleep. I am so angry about all these pills. He ends up buying oxy off the street because he runs out of his prescription before the time to refill. Is he being overdosed? He is very defensive when I try talking to him about this. That's his addiction.
Avatar n tn d phenobarbitol (which is for seizures), Valium (for the anxiety), Bentyl (for the stomach cramps), a muscle relaxer (for the leg cramps, Ativan (for break through anxiety), and a multi vitamin and magnesium. I was there 5 days. I left on Friday. And to be completely honest, I thought I was ready to go. I thought I had gone through the worst of it. I was wrong. Now I find myself detoxing still at home. I have horrible diahrea and nausea and stomach cramps.
Avatar f tn d me a muscle relaxer (which doesnt work) and oxycodone. The first 2 months I took the oxycodone every 4-6 hours. Then I was down to 2 pills twice a day. Now I take one pill three times a day. I ran out of my meds and feel ashamed and dont want the Dr to assume I have an addiction. The last pill I took was on Sunday afternoon (8/19/12) I dont know how to explain the feeling I have in my neck. Its not the same pain I had pre surgery, none the less its uncomfortable.
Avatar f tn It has been going on now for a month and a half. Went to gyno and she said it was because I had uterine fibroids and one very large rear fibroid. She gave me a muscle relaxer/anti inflammatory prescription med, some no estrogen birth control, pain meds, and told me to use heating pads, keep legs raised, and pain should go away. It did not go away stayed the same and got worse depending on the day.
Avatar m tn Unlike the suggestion from the "Dr." on here....I can't imagine someone being moved from only taking Hydrocodone which is low on the totem pole of medications all the way to something like the Fentanyl patch which is one of the strongest medications out there. It is ONLY for opiate tolerant paitents... You have plenty of other medication choices to move to and see if this helps.
Avatar f tn t want to take plaquenil just yet. Doctor said to take celebrex and a muscle relaxer. I have been taking 1 mg of xanax for 3 weeks and before that it was about twice a week as needed. I was having such anxiety and sleep issues rhemy said to take it every day. Now 3 weeks later she wants to try the new coctail of celebrex and muscle relaxer. Tried the muscle relaxer the first night seemed to take a little of the night time pain away not much.
Avatar f tn But thats why i got off the muscle relaxer. i set up another appt for me and the baby and plan on telling him i took muscle relaxers and hope they don't take the baby away.
Avatar m tn I went back to ER got another shot of dilaudid and a Percocet then had a pain management dr appt next day. Went there here perscribed dilidid and a muscle relaxer. Not working. I'm switching back and forth to Percocet. I also have norco I've thrown in a couple times. Help!?
Avatar m tn I definetly recommend adding a muscle relaxer if you have muscle pain. I have severe muscle spasms and I am really hurting without a muscle relaxer. Flexeril is also a good one, but that one will make you very sleepy at first. I eventually got used to it to the point that it didn't make me sleepy, but it took a while of taking halves. I tend to adjust to medication really quickly, though.
19965699 tn?1487511518 I ONLY take Ocycontin 20mg x3 a day, 4mg Tizanidine (muscle relaxer) 1xdaily as needed, and Lidoderm patches. I also use a TENS unit, sometimes for hours! Am I still in pain? YES!! But it is livable!! I have my mind, can think and do for myself.. things I could not do while on all those meds..
Avatar f tn I was prescribed Flexeril (a muscle relaxer) today for my back pain. I am 37 weeks. Has anyone else taken muscle relaxers and did you have any issues with it?
Avatar m tn I plan to stop taking pain pills tomorrow by going to an in patient detox and wondered how long it will take for me to feel 100%? I know everyone's different but I have 5 days until I have to go back to work. I've been taking pain pills, most recently oxycodone for five yrs. on and off.... Last night my husband asked me if I wanted to turn into a mush head like my dad. That hit me where it hurt- my dad has an intense pain pill, muscle relaxer, alcohol addiction.
