skelaxin addictive

Having some very bad lower back pain today that tylenol isn't touching. I was wondering about Skelaxin. I have some and have taken it in the past...but don't even remember side effects or how I felt taking it or anything. Is this addictive?Anybody know anything about it? Thanks!

i have two herniated disks in my back. My doc gave me a script for soma. I don't know much about it. I don't wanna take it if it's very addictive, I'm in recovery and not gonna let a muscle pill make me use if it that type of med. anyone with experience with soma please reply.

As the result of a back injury in February, I began taking Soma and 10 mgs of hydrocodone at night to help me sleep. I took no pain killers during the day, just Skelaxin. I stopped taking Skelaxin several weeks ago and am now in the process of discontinuing the Hydrocodone. I took the last Soma and 1/2 of a 5 mg tablet several nights ago. This is my second round with trying to get off this med. The problem is the insomnia or sleeplessness that occurs in the middle of the night.

I am prescribed Celebrex and skelaxin. I have a question about the skelaxin. Well my job is physically demanding I work in a hospital I do patient care I "boost" patients, transport patients, help very unsteady patients get out of bed and walk. So quite often I need to take my skelaxin. My lower back tightens up and I just need some relief. I have been taking it a bit more often than I did say 6 months ago.

There are many other muscle relaxers such as skelaxin and robaxin that are non addictive. Try those instead. Soma is merely a barbiturate in sheep's clothing.

Boy oh boy, Cyndie and Nick...you guys sure have been through a LOT! I feel like such a whimp....but lucky at the same time.... I feel as though I can at least relate to some of the awful discomforts of chronic pain and the weaning process...whether it's psychological or physical...it's a TRIP! ..and I haven't even scratched the surface of the whole cold turkey thing (i.e.throwing up and siezures, etc.).....I'm grateful...all in all, with your words of encouragement....

I don't think that amount of wine alone would elevate you enzymes but with the drugs you're taking I really don't know. I believe that Skelaxin may be associated with elevated liver enzymes is some people but again, I am not sure of this. I would Google all of the drugs you're taking with the word "liver" or "hepatic" eg "Skelaxin Liver".

My doc just gave me Skelaxin for my back pain and said it might help. I have been trying to cut back taking hydro and I don't want to take anything that is going to make me woosey. I started into therapy last week and it is really making my back hurt. The nurosurgeon I saw said I have from L-1 to S-1 messed up and he does not think surgery would help any. So he just said take the hydro because your not taking that many (only 3 a day 7.

t take during the day,as I have small kids and it made me VERY sleepy!) Then I was put on Skelaxin and I feel like that does nothing( 800mg. 3x day) I could take 2 at one time and still...nothing? I think I'm going to ask to go back on Flexeril(for bed time) to reduce my pain and spasms) Thanks!

oh and broke down and took a muscle relaxer. skelaxin. this shouldn't be a problem right? found an old script. ibuprofen was not cutting it.

Flexeril makes me feel high and it's not a good high. More like Dopey. Tizadine at first was okay, but as soon as I acknowledged the beginning of the name brand starting with Zana, that told me it was part of the other Highly Addictive behavior modification drugs as Zanex, which is highly addictive. It's just my opinion, but everything that's newly made since the 80's is mainly addictive and more so since the 90's and worse the 00's and they are doing it purposely now.

Hi, I started taking ultram for multiple vehicle injuries. Ultram didn't work, they tried Tylenol3, tylenol3 didn't work they tried hydrocodone, that didn't work..so they tried percoset 5/325 6X a day. I got used to that dose now im on 7.5/325 6x a day. The more I NEED them. The more I want them. I am definitely addicted but it is not a good addiction. I get very mean, and emotionless over nothing. I go to physical therapy 3x a week. So it is all legit.

I have found through taking many different meds for my back that zanaflex worked really well...I have used skelaxin but never helped...BUT everyone is different.... I am so glad u were pain free all night...Back pain is the worst!!! Hope is gets better!

The muscle relaxer the dr gave me is Skelaxin. Anybody else ever try this. I read on drug ******* the reviews and some people said it really helped without making them dizzy like most of them do. Man I sure hope it helps so I can keep weening off the hydros.

Today, my neuro suggested i try SKELAXIN (muscle relaxer) for the spasams I am experiencing. I will start those tomorrow. It says take 3x a day, every 8 hours. And if need be a 4th one can be taken. Does this sound right ........every 8 hours?? Please tell me what you think. I pray that everyone is doing ok. This limboland is really taking its toll on me and my family. Have not worked since Jan. that is putting a strain on us finacially. Not to mention, all the worry about my health.

I have had some kind of cold/flu, sinusitis (all in one) for about three weeks. Finally I went to the doctor she prescribes antibiotics, anticough medicine etc. I also developed somehow a muscle spams around my neck aparently due to excesive coughing. The pain became the worst ever to the point of tears. The doctor prescribed skelaxin 800mg, it didn't help, then I added 400mg Advil.. The pain somehow got better, but still there. So Went for Motrin 800mg with Skelaxin, didn't help.

I will try to avoid them right now tho because they make me sluggish and I am already fatigued with my cut in dose of hydrocodne..anything can be abused...skelaxin is a fairly safe muscle relaxer.....

Felt bump and determined was musculoskeletal. Prescribed anti-inflammatory (Naproxen) and muscle relaxer (Skelaxin). Told me to take as needed (didn’t have to take the full bottle). Took prescriptions for 4 days, Skelaxin caused stomach cramping even when taken as directed. Urine test came back cloudy with high white blood cell count. Concluded was very dehydrated and sent off for tests to determine if infection was present. Also had me go in for blood tests.

Hi, my name is Lukas, I am 18 years old (19 in September) and have an unusual case of neuromuscular pain that I've suffered from since I was 10 years old, but all of the doctors I've seen say that my condition could most likely be fibromyalgia or some type of chronic neuromuscular pain, but are still perplexed at my condition. I've already seen a Rheumatologist although the pain is not in the joints, just the muscles. I have also seen my family practitioner.

depakote, solu-cortef (hydrocortisone), zofran (not sure why...

I was prescribed this for extreme violent muscle spasms. Dr said non narcotic non addictive. Well my experience with Dr and Percocet i no longer believe in their opinion. So experts can u give me truth. Thanks so much.

Hi everyone this is my first post here, kinda nervous. Thing is I found this community while looking up information about my fentynal patch. I just got the script and don't think its working. I had lumbar spinal fussion a week ago and the surgeon put me on 25mcg at discharge from the hospital. This was only done because of the reaction from me when he said he was sending me home on percocet. See I have suffered from pain for so long that I have taken alot of narcs.

I don't know about this one, but I've never heard of it being addictive. It's a concern about the alcohol if you're an alcoholic I think though. Not sure. I thought I heard a couple of years ago that they either reduced or got rid of the alcohol altogether. I hope I'm not mistaking it for something else. The biggest concern I'd have is if you're taking another med. that would have increased effects if the alcohol is still in it.

Hi, I'm new here and have a question about addictive personality. when i drink (3 or more x week) i drink only in the evening after 6 and i drink to sleep. i know it has the opposite effect. when i drink i smoke. also on pain meds in the day time, find Lyrica addictive, i actually crave Lyrica after I have had 2. an hr or so later i crave more, and more. I used to gamble was able to nip that quick. Since I don't have any disposable income, aside from food and beer.

i have an addictive personality. i am inrecovery for alcohol. people keep telling me some of the greatest minds have addictive personalities.
