Question 1

Question 2

severe muscle spasms...robaxin, (methocarbamol) vicodin not helping...massage made it worse any suggestions? also on dexpak 10 and lidoderm patch

Accepted Answer

One option.: Has your physician determined the cause of the muscle spasms?  Consult with your physician about a trial of accupuncture. It is often very beneficial for muscular problems even if there is not a clear cut diagnosis.

Question 3

is it safe to take robaxin 500mg 2x a day, trazodone 50mg, zoloft (sertraline) 50 mg, ibuprofen 800 4x a day, and vicodin 5/500mg every 8-10 hrs together?

Accepted Answer

Ask your doctor : Each of the listed medications may cause side effects and there is a possibility for drug-drug interaction. Discuss this regime with your prescribing doctor as there may be extenuating circumstances that justify this regimen. Vicodin may lead to tolerance, dependance and addiction. Ibuprofen 4 x a day may lead to serious side effects.

Question 4

how safe is 750mg of methocarbamol?

Accepted Answer

: This strength is commonly used so I would think it is safe. Take care.

Question 5

is it ok to take expired methocarbamol?

Accepted Answer

When expired?: Depends on how long ago it expired and the conditions in which it was kept.  The expiration date includes for most medication an extra years worth of safety (not true for many drugs, particularly injectables).  I would not fret if were a year expired.

Question 6

what happens if u take 3 methocarbamol?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Methocarbamol comes in 500 mg and 750 mg forms - 3 of the 500 mg tabs would be ok, whereas 3 of the 750 is above the recommended dose.  Side effects could include slowed heart rate, decreased blood pressure, confusion, sleepiness, etc.  Presumably it's out of your system by now but if you're still having side effects, see a physician.
