Question 1

how can i lose weight when i have to take effexor, (venlafaxine) neurontin, flexeril, mirapex etc for fibromyalgia?

Accepted Answer

Fibromyalgia: The use of medications to control fibromyalgia can also lead to the unwanted side effects of weight gain due to fatigue and water retention..  The main treatment for fibromyalgia is exercise and once you are able to exercise because the medications are helping you control your pain, then you will start to see progress.  The initial phase of treatment may not lead to weight loss.

Question 2

can i take flexeril if i took effexor earlier?

Accepted Answer

Be careful!: In general, those two medicines taken at the same time can give you a condition called serotonin syndrome. Therefore, Usually is not recommended that you take them together.

Question 3

so, can you take flexeril and effexor xr hours apart? same day, just not at the same time?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, but since both medications cross the blood-brain barrier they can cause lethargy and cognitive effects which can be enhanced by both meds being in the system together.  There is a theoretical possibility of a condition called serotonin syndrome but this is extremely unlikely.  Closely monitor for any side effects and let your physician know of any concerns that arise.

Question 4

can you take flexeril and methocarbomol together?

Accepted Answer

: Taking both of these simultaneously would be redundant as both are muscle relaxants. We often prescribe muscle relaxant along with an anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen or naproxen if the patient has muscular pain and tightness or spasm.

Question 5

can i take ambien (zolpidem) and flexeril together?

Accepted Answer

Talk to your doctor: They can interact and result in excessive sedation, you should really talk to your doctor if you are taking both.

Speak with your psychiatrist or PCP if you experience any such symptoms.

Question 8

Question 10
