Can I take cyclobenzaprine (muscle relaxer) and dexamethasone (steroid) together? I'm prescribed a round of steroids for migraines and a muscle relaxer to help with muscle / back problems. ## I didn't find any interactions listed, but it is always best to double check. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth. Are you on any other medications?

A friend of mine took this zanaflex saying it was the same as xanax, just with muscle relaxers in it. I personally don't have a clue so i figured i'd ask. ## No, they are not the same. Zanaflex contains the active ingredient Tizanidine, which is just a muscle relaxant. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth. Xanax, however, is a benzodiazepine, it contains the active ingredient Alprazolam. It carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, sedation, and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with?

So basically the pill with. 4211 V is a soma but just a lower dosage????? ## No it is not Soma. Use caution when taking strange pills ## Hello, Shelly! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by Qualitest Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 500mgs of Methocarbamol, which is a generic for Robaxin. The FDA classifies this medication as a muscle relaxant and lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth.

I take soma 350mg 3 times a day and narco 750mg 4 times a day. i have to take a urine test in a week. I have them in my system now. can I save my urine now and take the test next week? if I keep it in the fridge will it show up for a pain management urine test ## That is 3000 mg of Tylenol alone per day for your NORCO. Have your liver checked out. You ask about saving your Urine? You can try and not pee for a week and sure you can refrigerate it although I'd ask why as it won't change things. Are you taking this "NARCO" illegally? ## I have #pm Doc i have appointment Thurs i took tramadol i saturday And Sun morning took 1 pill with hydro im scared that it will show on my drug text this coming Thursday im taking xanax as well.

my friend is prescribed roboxin and im prescribed soma, and we were wondering which one is stronger? ## No, methocarbamol is not scheduled by the DEA in any category. Metaxolone (Skelaxin) isn't either. Carisoprodol (Soma) is the only similar agent that is currently scheduled (Sched IV). ## They are both muscle relaxants, but the Soma is the strongest that is currently available in this category. They both have similar side effect profiles and may cause nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and headache. You can learn more Soma details here and you can learn more Robaxin details here. Are there any comments or questions? ## The DEA Has Made it where if you get Valium or Xanax, you can't get SOMA. We now Have the DEA Making Health Care Choices Now. I trust my Doctor more Than the DEA. In ...

Is Methocarbamol the same medication as Soma? ## It is Robaxin, a muscle relaxer. From what I see they are nothing like Soma. ## @Cindy, Both Soma (carisoprodol) and Robaxin (methocarbamol) are listed as muscle relaxers. From what I've read, both drugs also reportedly work in the same way - by blocking nerve impulses / pain sensations that are sent to the brain. However with regards to potency/efficacy I'm not sure how they compare, so you may have to discuss that with your prescribing doctor if it's something you're interested in trying. Hope this helps!

small round pill, tannish in color.outside coating can be peeled off with fingerrnail. all white inside. no imprint on either side ## I'm sorry, but if there is no imprint, it will be impossible to positively identify, unless you would pay to have it lab tested.

i was wondering what the fatal dose of flexeril was.... ## Flexeril contains the active ingredient Cyclobenzaprine and the maximum daily dosage is 60mgs, split into 3 equal doses. However, what is fatal and causes an overdosage can vary from person to person, depending on their overall health and tolerance to the medication. But, if you stay at the prescribed dosage, you should be fine. Are there any questions or comments? ## be careful. i took 130mg of flexeril and blacked out for 12 hours. during this time i apparently drove to meet a friend for lunch - luckily my friend, initially thinking i was drunk, drove me home and stayed overnight with me. ## My friend took 4 flexaral will she be ok 10mg ## Hi Daisy, I was reading Your post was 1- 30mg tablet of flexeril and and was out for 12 ...

what are the side affects of methocarbam ? ## Hello, Jim! How are you? The FDA classifies Methocarbamol as a muscle relaxant and lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Has it been prescribed for you? ## Does methocarbam help knee pain? I take it for back spasms,only on occasion. ## Yes, it helps very little around bedtime. I haven't had any bad side effects. I guess it could be that I go to sleep right after taking it.

my heart rate runs in the 40's, however it has been recorded as low as 38....and i'm not an athlete, just a regular 21 year old guy, decent shape(physically). My doc just prescribed Flexeril for some muscle spasms I recently had in my lower back. Being a muscle relaxer im afraid to take them, I don't want to fall asleep and not wake up! ## Yeah, that's hard to say, since it can cause depression of the central nervous system, so there is a chance that it could cause it to drop even lower, according to the FDA. Have they done any tests to see why your heart rate is so low? Is your blood pressure usually normal? Are you on any other medications? Do you exercise regularly? Do you take any supplements?

I had gastric bypass in 2010 and am considered a rapid metabolizer for opiates. I have 5 herniated discs in my lower back and nerve disease and stay in constant pain. I have been to 9 pain management docs bc no one wants to take on my case and is scared to prescribed the amounts of medication I need to get through the day. I have tried physical therapy, injections and acupuncture all to no avail. I have a great doc now who is at least trying to help me and currently has me on dilaudid, soma, Lyrica, and suboxone patches most are three and six times daily. I have 5 children and that allows me to function daily with less pain than without. With the metabolizing issue I have no side effects or withdrawal symptoms when taken off, only with the soma I had to cut down to 1/2 of 350 mg 3 times...
