Question 3

is 10 800mg skelaxin (metaxalone) an overdose?

Accepted Answer

10 pills in a day?: Taking 10 pills of skelaxin (metaxalone) 800 mg is definitely an overdose.  Therapeutic dosage is three times daily.

Question 4

metaxalone 800 mg and adivan together?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: Metaxaolne is a pretty strong muscle relaxant that can cause sedation. Ativan, (lorazepam) as a benzodiazepine, is also a strong muscle relaxant and sedating medication. Using the two together can cause severe sedation and their side effects can compound. If you have been prescribed both, stagger the dosing to avoid these compounding side effects. Hope this helps!

Drowsiness,....: Dizziness, irritability, nervousness, headache, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, jaundice and, if you are allergic, a rash.

Question 6

See below: Both are muscle relaxers.  Both have the same adverse effects.  My experience is that skelaxin (metaxalone) is less sedating than flexeril.

Question 7
