Drug Co Muscle Spasm

When express scripts removed Advair from their formulary in 2014, my doctor put me on Symbicoet. I developed horrible muscle spasms in my legs. Now that I'm back on Advair these spasms have gone away ## Hello, Lynn! How are you? That is listed by the FDA as a possible side effect of Symbicort, it's resulted in some people having to stop using it, because they were so severe. I'm glad that the Advair is working better for you. Do you experience any side effects from it? Such as headache, nausea, diarrhea and dry mouth? ## I am on symbicort as well and the spasms in my legs and calves are awful, now I can make a connection after reading this

I have MS and infuse with Tysabri. I am having severe muscle spasms. I am allergic to Lyrica, Baclofen, Methocarbamol, all prednizone drugs, etc. I take Dilaudid for pain as I also have a frontal-lobe brain tumor. I do go to a pain clinic, but my insurance BC/BS has denied my claim for muscle relaxants. Apparently, my pain clinic cannot prescribe Soma. I suffer from migraines and I am asking what can be prescribed for severe muscle spasms? Thank you. ## Hi Rae, sorry to hear about your pain. There's another thread on this site asking about Diclofenac in conjunction with Tysabri. I checked both the webmd and medscape drug interaction tools and nothing was listed between those 2 drugs. Have you asked your doctor about Diclofenac? I'd be really interested to know what they say. Alt...

Has anyone read about or experienced Complex Regional Pain Syndrome while taking Skelaxin? Also, is it ok to take over a long period of time? ## It can be taken as long as your doctor feels it is safe, and beneficial for you to do so. I took it for chronic pain for several years, and had no problems with it, though I will see I found its benefits to be minimal. The FDA lists the typical side effects for Skelaxin as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, and drowsiness. Ref: Skelaxin Information Are you on any other medications?

I was put on Wellbutrin 150 XL..and for awhile did really well on that. Then started feeling somewhat depressed again and she increased it to 300 XL once a day. That's when I noticed muscle tics in my lower legs right before I went to sleep or upon waking up. Then started having twitches in stomach, buttocks, then under lips, inside cheeks, then under left eye. I went to my pharmacist and he said he hears alot of complaints about Topamax which I have been on for 8 months. 25mg in morning..50 mg at night. Talked to Psychiatrist who said I do not need to worry about Arrive Dyskensia..and she kept me on Topamax and put me on Wellbutrin SR 200 once a day..and told me to get my electrolyte levels checked. Went to Doctor, he said they did blood work 4 months ago, and I was not deficient i...

Now I am having severe muscle spasms in my back every 2 weeks and they last up to 8 days. I have also developed numbness in the bottom of my left foot.

can i give my cocker spaniel cyclobenzaprine for muscle spasms? she is having very bad muscle spasms in her abdomen area and her back. ## Hi Kim, From what I could gather, Cyclobenzaprine is not regularly used in veterinary medicine. I'm not sure why that is, but for this reason I'd encourage you to take her to your nearest vet and have her checked out in person, so she can receive the right kind of care or treatment that will nurse her back to health. Other comments I've read, took care to mentioned that Methocarbamol was generally the muscle relaxant of choice for use in dogs and cats. Perhaps you can ask your vet about that option as well. I hope this helps! ## From what I have read, many online sites by LAYMEN States that one should not give cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) to...

I Was Placed On Suboxone Twice A Day 8mg 2mg After 4 Hospital Opiate Detox In February2014 Am Now Down To 1 Of 5mg Strip. I have had five horrible nights of tossing, turning, hot bath. I don't want to increase the Sub as every decrease has been an improvement. I took a Flexeril, then took an herbal (Valerian root/Formula 303), with no change. Any suggestions to help me sleep tonight? I'm a zombie!! ## Hello, Sula! How are you? This will most likely start to improve on its own after a few more days. Your body is just trying to adjust to the dosage change and it takes a little time for it to rebalance things. I understand that it's annoying, I am well aware of how bad it can be, since I went cold turkey off high doses of narcotics after being in pain management. Since you'...

Why should I use the BP pill and a water pill at the same time? Why not just a BP pil? Thank you. ## Hello, Chrissie! How are you? Both of these medications can help lower blood pressure and it is common for a doctor to prescribe more than one, at the beginning, to try to help bring blood pressure down as fast and as safely as possible.

My doctor has told me that that soma is a narcotic and she does not want to prescribe it to me any more. I suffer from chronic back pain as well as muscle spasms. I have tried other muscle relaxers as well as anti inflamatories and none of then do not work. Soma is the only one I have found to work for me without making me sleepy. Any information you can give me i would really appreciate. Thank you, Dana ## No, it is not a narcotic, nor is it related to opioid pain relievers. Soma contains the active ingredient Carisoprodol. It has, however, been known to be habit forming and to be abused, by some people. ## Soma - Do they come up on a U/A? Since you say it's not a narcotic what do they come up as? ## I have ankylosing spondylitis. Other than the Enbrel and other such meds, what is ...

How do I make these muscle spams go away? ## Hello, Meela! How are you? Are you making sure to take in enough fluid while taking this? One of the active ingredients is Hydrochlorothiazide, which is a diuretic that's used to help remove excess fluid from the body, but it can cause dehydration if you aren't taking in enough to replace it. That's usually what causes the muscle spasms. Have you consulted your doctor?

I have pills that say wpi 3968. How can it not be a narcotic when you call it hydrocodone? Like lortab and percocet? ## This tablet is manufactured by Watson Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 500mgs of Chlorzoxazone, which is a muscle relaxant.
