Question 6

i have a final exam tomorrow, so should i not take my darvocet or norflex (orphenadrine) before my final?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Does either the darvocet or the Norflex (orphenadrine) make you drousy or "fog your mind" so you can't think quickly & clearly? If one does, keep it for after the exam; likewise, if both affect you thus. However, if pain or muscle spasm is going to distract you from concentrating on the exam, you must weigh the benefits vs the risks & take the least amount that keeps you comfortable yet mentally alert.

Question 7

i battle with headaches on the best of days. i take trepiline for it nightly. have taken 2 adcodol for pain tonight. can i take norflex as well?

Accepted Answer

Headache: Should be OK. However, I would also take Mag Glycinate on a regular basis that should help.

Question 8

what do you suggest if my friend admitted to me that she is addictive to norflex (orphenadrine). long ago she had a back operation and was addictive?

Accepted Answer

Not sure what ? is: What can I suggest for you?  None of us can ultimately get someone else to stop hurting themselves - they have to decide that it is a problem. You can express your concern about them and tell them you care, but pushing your point of view can become nagging and be counterproductive. Norflex (orphenadrine) does not cause physical dependency, so it is a psychological issue. Try Alanon for your issues with her.

Question 9

i misread the dosage and i had 2 norflex tablets together instead of the recommended 1 tablet. is this at the level of an overdose and do i need to see a doctor.

Accepted Answer

Not overdose: 2 norflex can make you very sleepy but it is not an overdose.  Don't drive or do anything that requires concentration until the medication wears off.  You do not need to see a doctor.

Question 10

does norflex (orphenadrine) have aspirin?

Accepted Answer

No: No, it does not. It is a muscle relaxant.
