Are flexeril and ketorolac additive?
by fedupinmt, May 18, 2007 12:00AM
Are flexeril and ketorolac additive? Doc put me on these to help pain management, instead of hydro 7.5 and tramadol that I was really starting it depend on. I've been getting my own rx for last 2 months and occasionally for aches and pains for last couple of year, If I didn't have my own my mother always had some for her arthrites and since shes not an addict she always shared - not afraid of running out. So had been using them almost daily for a couple years. Wed. evening listening to talk show about legal rx withdrawl. Boy that woke me up, so I found this web sight. Looking back I can see the withdrawl symptoms on and off for last 9 months but would feel like **** so got another rx or used one of moms. So without realizing (admitting) I just kept myself addicted. I know I don't have it as bad as some but still scared all the same. Don't forget trying to hide all of this from hubby. He thinks my family is a bunch of addicts, this kind of reinforces it don't it? lol I just want to make sure what the Doc put me on won't be worse to get off of. Any help would be appricated. fedup

You asked about the Tyrosine in another post and it is a supplement that is part of the Thomas recipe. I think it is recommended to start taking it after the first few days because the recipe (or maybe I read it somewhere else on this forum) that it is better to sleep through the first few days of the withdrawal because you feel so terrible.
I guess it depends on what day you are on in your withdrawal and how much you were taking of what and for how long. I know that the recipe and several people say that warm showers the first few days help with muscle spasms. I am on day two myself and I haven't had anything that bad but I weaned down under the supervision of my doctor and took pain for legitimate pain (which it sounds like you did as well).
Hope this helps. If you have trouble finding the Thomas recipe on the forum just let me know and I will cut and paste it.
