Can you take this muscle relaxer with a pain pill? A Vicodin 5/500? ## Sure no problem if you want to get really messed up. ## Yes you can take Baclofen with Vicodin. I take Baclofen with Norco 10/325. Have been on this cocktail of these two meds for quiet sometime now. May make you a little drowsy at first but once your system gets used to it there is no problem. Hope this helps, God Bless, and you will be in my prayers. I am on these due to a spinal birth defect from birth. ## These medications are often prescribed together to treat pain, and the muscle spasms that can contribute to pain. However, they should only be taken together with a doctor's approval, and under a doctor's regular supervision of the patient, because both of them can cause depression of the central nervous...

i have recently been prescribed zanaflex. I was told it's a mix of xanax and flexirl. I was just wondering if anyone else has taken the drug and does food really effect it. ## Hi. I just had back surgery 10 days ago. Because of the length and sverity of my condition (a double herniaton of the L-5 disc) I have had severe muscle spasms all up and down both legs and in my back. It just so happens that I have just completed my certivicate in drug and alcohol rehab counseling., and am finishing up a course in PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY. I've just started taking this drug, since I told my doctor that I can't handle FLEXERIL, which is NOT an anti-inflamitory or a muscle relaxer. Flexeril is a benzodiazapine - a sedative, which is why it is sometimes prescribed for muscle pain. There is NO ...

I start a new muscle relaxer tonight called Baclofen. I'd been taking Soma fit years and it's just not helping with the terrible spasms anymore. I'm hoping the Baclofen does the trick. Does anyone know if it's stronger than Soma? I hate taking new meds. I'll make my husband stay up awhile to make sure I don't have a bad reaction. ## Hello, Donna! How are you? No, it is not as strong as Soma. Soma is actually the strongest muscle relaxant available. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Baclofen as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Have you taken it, yet? If so, did you experience any problems? ## Hi Donna, how's it going? I take High-Dose Baclofen (currently 150mg a day titrating up to 350mg a day) for alcoholism. I do get some...

I've been on Soma for 20 years and hate to admit that I take up to 10 a day sometimes, just to get enough relief from severe muscle spasms so that I can sleep. I broke my back in 1988 after lifting 17,000 lbs in 6 hrs. and have undergone 5 major operations, for a fusion that failed. So they finally diagnosed me with failed back syndrome. I had 3 intrathecal morphine pump implants over a period of 12 years, but after the last one malfunctioned I chose to have it removed and chose to take the oral med MS Contin, which I've been on for 4 years, 30 mg. 3x a day. I'm also on Lortab for breakthrough pain 10/500 3x daily. I've been on this medication for 18 years and have built a tolerance to it, so I often have to take 5-6 a day. Since I have liver disease would it be safer to...

Generally prescribed in place of Carisoprodol (AZ 266 - round white pill, 3/8 diameter) because of its lower dose and other reasons; used mainly as a muscle relaxer, pain control and tranquilizer. AZ 266 can become addictive, while Cyclobenzaprine not so much. Look up either AZ 266 or Carisoprodol or Soma. ## Is Cyclobenzaprine the "street drug" known as "benzo's"? ## That is correct, Carisoprodol is a muscle relaxant, and is the active ingredient in Soma. It has been known to be abused, and to cause addiction in some people that take it. The typical side effects of this medication may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, headache, somnolence, and depressed mood, according to FDA reports. Ref: Carisoprodol Information Rashidah, no, Cyclobenzaprine is another type ...

I was wondering what this pill is used for? It is oblong, gray on one side and white on the other. The number on the pill is p449 and the number is on the gray side. It is not a capsule. ## I am almost 100% sure this is Robax Platinum (500mg methocarbamol, 200 mg Ibuprofin) I use these for muscle strains and they really do a good job at easing the pain without making you feel "loopy". ## Jenny may be right, as I have come across a small pill image of Robax Platinum depicting a half white, half gray oblong pill associated with their product packaging. However I also noticed a score line on the pill and it wasn't clear enough to determine what the markings were (if any). Also, please correct me if I'm wrong, but Robax Platinum appears to be a Canadian medication. Just some...

Just received my refill of soma 350mg but they look different than the ones I am used to getting from the same pharmacy. No read out was put in the bag. The white round pill had a SG 109 on one side & blank on the other side. Anybody ever heard of these before? Because, since there was no print out of the new different medication I was a little worried, "what if the pharmacist made a little error in mine & somebody else's medications". Thanks for any feedback. ## Errors are made every day but these pills have been identified as Soma ## That is correct, they are manufactured by ScieGen Pharmaceuticals and they list them as containing 350mgs of Carisoprodol, which is a generic for Soma. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, hea...

I bought a pain-o-soma- from India does it have any norco pain meds in it? ## From India anything goes, it can have poison for all you know. The only prescription with Soma and a pain killer you will find from a legit source is Soma compound which has codeine in it ## Hello, Mark! How are you? The FDA lists it as containing Carisoprodol, which is a muscle relaxant. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. However, what Eddy said stands, there's no way to be sure what you've actually received. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Get tapendol instead. ## What a terrible thing to tell fellow members? ------------------------------------------------ Tapentadol is an opioid medication used to treat moderate to severe pain.

can you help me is this a soma a blank white circle pill with a plus sign on other side? ## Without a number embossed on the pill it would be impossible to tell although highly doubtful that you have a soma. Lick it, is it bitter? ## Melatonin natural sleep aid none of them have numbers. ## Of course, if it has a + on it I'm thinking Bayer Asprin ## Mine has a number 10 on one side ## Of course #10! It could be Cyanide, it could be Vitamin C. You are not planning on putting that in your mouth I would hope?

What is Vengesic grageas and what are its healing properties? What is it derived from and where does it come from? How is it used? ## Hello, Felice! How are you? The FDA lists Vengesic as a medication from Mexico that contains the active ingredients Methocarbamol, Phenylbutazone and Dexamethasone, this combination is not approved for use and sale in the U.S. It is used to treat muscle spasms and pain. Its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, acne and insomnia. It is taken orally and, while it may help with some conditions, it has no actual healing properties, per se.

I am in excruciating pain. I found an old script for Soma that expired in 1996. Can I take it without doing any harm? ## You could although it may not work like it did when new ## Yes, Eddy is correct, expired medications can be less effective than when they were fresh and new. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth. This is also not a pain reliever, it is a muscle relaxant, so it may not help you in the way you wish. Are you on any other medications? Have you consulted your doctor? ## Pharmacist are eager to hurt and not help. They have no idea what your medical condition is and don’t care. They are judgmental, especially if you are in pain and old. Maybe they should take an oath. “First Do No Harm.”. Hu...

Hi, I need some advice on the prolonged use of Gen payne. Been struggling with TMD and the dentist prescribed genpayne and norflex, so I've been taking the gen payne daily (sometimes twice) for something like 2-3 weeks now I've stopped taking it today and woke up feeling shaky. Will this feeling stop over time or do I have to see a doctor? ## Gen-Payne contains Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen, and Codeine, the latter of which is an opiate, so you may be experiencing some mild withdrawal effects, which is normal if you suddenly stop taking it abruptly. According to FDA reports, you may also experience nausea, rebound pain, dizziness, and headache. ref=" target'=_blank" rel="noopener">Medline Plus Codeine However, if your symptoms become severe, or if you feel you...

I need a good doctor in Orlando who will prescribe soma. ## I NEED ONE TOO! PLEASE HELP! ## Contrary to what many people believe, Soma is just a muscle relaxant, it is not a narcotic analgesic, therefore, you don't need a specific type of doctor to prescribe it. Any doctor can do so, as long as you have a legitimate need for it. You can learn more Soma details here. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth. Can anyone recommend a good doctor in the area? ## No one mentioned Soma was a narcotic, nor was anyone asking for a specific type of Doctor for Soma? ## thanks eddy ! youre right- i was not. ## Global Neuro & Spine at 121 W.

I need a pain doctor or pain clinic who doesn't require a referral, takes Medicare and Medicaid, who will prescribe my Xanax 2mg, Dilaudid 8mg, Roxy 30, Soma 350mg. I have my paperwork from the hospital state to take these meds. I need someone in Atlanta Ga, or Roswell Ga, Lwrncvil Ga. ## Hello, Cindy! How are you? I'm sorry that you're in pain. As to your medications, it is doubtful that you will find one doctor that will prescribe them all. Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, you need to see a specialist, so for that list, you'll most likely need to see a pain management specialist, as well as a psychiatrist for the Xanax. These medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dr...
