Fibromyalgia flare, need advice re; muscle relaxers, is it OK to take Baclofen after taking Zanafle?

Dearest sweets,

Take the baclofen just be prepared to be sleepy, no driving and let's avoid politics and religion while we are at it. You won't be feeling much like carrying a train of thought anyway. Hope it helps and you don't ralph.

Hey sweets,
I'm sorry to hear you're flaring up,but unfortunately i have no idea what to advise where those meds are concerned! I'm not much help,but just wanted to wish you well and hope you are feeling better soon
Hugs to you

NO!! DO NOT MIX MUSCLE RELAXERS!! I know and understand how desperate you are, but that is a BAD cocktail, really. Try taking a benzo if you have any, and laying down. Get off the computer, watch a stupid TV show. Hopefully you will fall asleep. Try a heating pad, cold pack. Unfortunately honey, sometimes there just isn't any meds that will help. I'm so sorry that you are feeling this badly. This too will pass.

Hey Sweetie Lemon Pie,
I am no doctor but I don't think this would be a problem. Other than the fact that I wouldn't want you to yack up your lunch. *smile* I am sorry you are having such a painful flair. The reason I say I don't think it would be a problem about the muscle relaxers is my pm doc played musical muscle relaxers with me when they took their patients off Soma. They had me switching back and forth so often my head was spinning. Not to mention my poor belly. Anyway sweetie I just hope you get some relief. I'm sending love and prayers your way my friend.
Big huge hugs -Terri-

Hey sweetie,gosh I hope you feel better,do what you think is best,you are an educated women on many subjects including this!love you,c.

Hi Sweet Lemon, sorry your not feeling that great today. I have been a bit slow in answering, but it looks like you got your answer now. Hope your pain gets better quick for you, I have Fibromyalgia too, and it can be very painful. Take Care Liz.

Dear sweet lemon,
At first I didn't realize it was you sweetie asking the question. I have Fibromyalgia too. I know how miserable it is. The pain can be soo bad honey. I feel so bad for you. I hope and pray you will get to feeling better soon. I don't want you to make yourself sick though. You know how to get ahold of me if you need to talk. I'm here for you honey, if you need me. I will say extra prayer's for you, and I do pray you will feel better soon sweets. God Bless. Love Ruthie

Hi Sweetie lemon pie,

My Doc told me I can't take both Flexeril and Baclofen. Although he may have meant at the same time. I think if you mix too many muscle relaxers too close together you can start to loose control of your voluntary muscles. Such as your leg muscles and you can fall down. I guess I'd say no. Sorry.

Hi Sweets Been a while since I been here, Im thinking and me thinking??? hum... well Benzos are sleepers right, so are zanaflex isnt it with flexarel in it? correct me if im wrong please, and u want to take baclofen. well i would wait the few hours till med kick off is over then take, is in the same class and though not common practice to pop the two together for the most part, however if u do better during rough times then i say get up that day with a baclofen. I mean they give kicker opiates for break threw pain. well not my doctors but i have heard of it. Yeah a real rough time for alot of us fibro babies, i havent had a normal day in 2 weeks cant sit stand or lay. dishes all over the man works and does house and its driving me crazy... im not a quitter but i feel like a quitter this week... and its only just begun, with me is up before done... gawd... who gave us this crap... get better and dont practice the two often, i see here is not good for you... much respect... lori

Well, I guess I'm the only one left who hasn't answered you & that's because I've haven't been on the computer for a couple of days! I know you have a lot of stress right now that certainly will exerbate the pain of fibro girl, you know that. As to whether to take both I wouldn't with your tossing your dinner episodes on baclofen, but since I'm so late answering , you have probably already taken it & are fast asleep! Just wanted to let my Sis know I haven't forgotten you. My fibro has been bad too, but been so busy had to ignore it! Taint easy either! I just take my oxy & a flexeril together & it gets me by. Will talk to you in the morning. Love... Mary

Ahhhh sweet lemming! Mixing relaxors is part of the fun. Finding that relaxing cocktail that werx for each is part of the fun. My pain doc prescribed me 5 different ones, including the two you speak of. My favorite combo if you must know? 2 Bac, 1 Tizadine, 2 Methocarbinols. Keep in mind that I am huge and have muscular density of a greek god.
