skelaxin and weed

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 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.

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".

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!

So he just said take the hydro because your not taking that many (only 3 a day 7.5) and try this Skelaxin and let me know in 3 months how your doing. I have really tried to cut back on the hydro but my back hurts so bad it wakes me up (when I can sleep). Please let me know if any of you have had any experence with this for back 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.

as regards liver i have no idea, try to google oxidative stress and weed, if weed can increase oxidative stress it is definitely bad Is it as dangerous as alchohal? no, alcool can be much more dangerous than hbv itself even on those with no hbv.

Well I just got back from seeing my dr about the myleogram I had and they pretty much just said I had from L-1 to S-1 messed up and not much they can do. Take the pills and try the therapy and message for awhile and then let us know how your doing. I had got down to 1 1/2 a day through my weening process but my back was hurting the whole time. I think I am still going to try to keep cutting back and see if I can quit when I can take a few days off work.

Want to send tons of ((HUGS)) to you Beth and I'm sorry that you are dealing with such pain and not able to find relief. I know nothing about SKELAXIN, so I can't give you any advice about that. Hopefully, someone here will be able to help. I hope the Neuro Psych appt goes well. Stick to your guns and get that plan of action!! I know it's so frustrating not knowing what to do or where to go next. Especially, since you are going through all of this pain.

Thanks LazyMoose, gosh, I took a quarter pill(800mg) of Skelaxin and it was a yummy feeling and that's what scared me. I felt really goooooood. But yeah the other day I could not sleep at all cause I had really really strong muscle spasm/twitch. Not sure what the difference is since all this is new happenings. But yeah I might do a quarter skelaxin once or twice a week here and there to help me sleep, I deserve a break I think. hehe. ordered a theracane from amazon.com.

My dad was taking Skelaxin and when he would take it he would be a little messed up. My dad quickly stopped taking it and they put him on Effexor which caused some side effects such as dizziness, insomnia, and upper respiratory problems. Never taken them personally, but that is what I have heard. I would immagine those would also be addictive also, maybe not as bad, but still dependence would set in. GOOD LUCK ...

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 am 5 months pregnant and I feel like since I became pregnant that I crave weed more than I did not pregnant. I have no appetite unless i smoke. Is this a bad thing? Can marijuana harm my baby?

The weed is a mild hallucinogen so the main thing it will do is intensify your psychosis a little. I used to smoke weed to deal with my schizoaffective/bipolar symptoms and it helped for a while. If you're taking the antipsychotics then you should cut WAY down on the weed. Your body has to fight through everything you put in it to keep you healthy and if it's trying to use the AP's to fix your mental issues, it'll be fighting through the THC to get to your brain.

t know if the medication with the weed is good or if it is making my condition worse in noticeably but as of right now I have had literally no problems with smoking while having svt and being ON medication. I have no idea if you will be ok smoking weed while having svt and being off medication.

The following is from my surgical notes: I recently had a shoulder surgery (2 months ago), in which I had Impingement Syndrome with limited space for the rotator cuff beneath the anterolateral acromial margin and Labral Detachment. Shoulder Capsule was repaired and two sutures were placed in my shoulder towards the superior apex. I was told that the decompression was successful.

hey this is a super old thread but just incase someone is out there looking for answers, I'll add my 2 cents. I've been diabetic for 20 years now. I'm 28. I've been a regular pot user for probably 10 years. I firmly believe that used (not excessively) for diabetics, that pot can help a vast number diabetic complications and symptoms. This has been backed up recently by research on weed and diabetes.

My friend smoked weed for years and she found out she was pregnant she quit. Sober for 5mnths. Had 2 failed USA due to just finding out she was pregnant. She called me told me she hit a pipe cause she was really upset and couldn't calm down.

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. As I type this it is 3:45 and I've been up since 2:15. I am having difficulty functioning at work because I am exhausted.

I wouldnt risk it.. I lost two babies and Im pregnant with my third Im now 34+1 and feel blessed I have made it this far.. I have a cerclage in that is literally tearing my cervix apart I went to L and D yesterday and I refused to get it removed bc I dont want her to be born this early.. I wouldnt sacrifice the health of you're baby just bc you like to smoke pot.. when you have the baby you can go back to doing what u like! I know you can do it! best of luck to you!

I currently take 800mg 3xday of Skelaxin and there are no dependence issues at all, so I think you would be fairly safe not relapsing. I have read posts on here regarding soma which is a muscle relaxer and apparently it is addicting. You can also take upto 800mgs of IBprofen 3xday which really helps with muscle and joint pain. I'm not telling you to do this, just a recommendation, check with your doctor first.

the next day i felt anxious and sad i kept on feeling like for about 3 days then i felt really dizzy but then i felt it start to ware off but then i when to a friends house and took 1 littel hit of weed and i felt good but as soon as it wore off i started feeling anxious and have till today its been 2 months and sometimes i feel weird i just feel like im not really here and i remember how i felt when i got high and it scares me i need help please anyone please help

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 James. are you still using the weed and alcohol ? Did you step up meetings ? Have you tried a Grief Support ? I ask these questions because I can not help but to think this is partly a reason for you and Kim no longer being together. You do know only you can stop all of this. The Booze is bad very very bad It will kill you and everything you love very fast especially with emotions that are not dealt with They all come up behind the booze and they do not come out well...

Can anyone tell me how depression and weed effect each other? My boyfriend has depression and he has done for years it's always been on and off for wow years and he has always smoked weed on and off for years! But now his depression is at its worst and has been getting that way for the last year, he has also started to smoke more over the past year.

Weed, klonipin, and abilify feel damn good in moderation. Less body high but I like that. No tingle. I'm just couch locked. Other than that I would think you're golden. Just don't go overboard. Makes me personally get stuck in my head or depression.

Risperidal is a medication prescibed specificaly for bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, both of these conditions have been proven to be negatively affected by smoking cannabis. I would strongly advice you against such course of action and guide you to talk to your doctor/psychiatrist.
