Sorry to hear you are having problems with your medications. Hope you are feeling better soon.
I work for a small town pharmacy and a website one of the pharmacists gave me for reference is epocrites.com.
Best regards,barb
Ok firstly no more giving JJ a heart attack whilst she's eating!
I am SO glad to hear your ok now or is that maybe ok now?
Why can't people get good side effects, like an all over sun tan, so you look like you've just got back from the Bahamas?! Let us know what your prescribing doc has to say, and if it happens again..... please :o)
Hugs...........JJ
What did the ER docs have to say?
Gee, thanks, Dennis! That will be a major clue.
Found this when I checked for interaction between those drugs.
The anticholinergic-like adverse effects of amantadine may be potentiated by agents with anticholinergic properties such as antihistamines, antispasmodics, class IA antiarrhythmics, neuroleptics, phenothiazines, skeletal muscle relaxants, and tricyclic antidepressants. The cumulative parasympatholytic effects of these agents may produce paralytic ileus, hyperthermia, heat stroke, and the anticholinergic intoxication syndrome. Peripheral symptoms of intoxication commonly include mydriasis, blurred vision, flushed face, fever, dry skin and mucous membranes, tachycardia, urinary retention, and constipation. Central symptoms may include memory loss, disorientation, incoherence, hallucinations, psychosis, delirium, hyperactivity, twitching or jerking movements, stereotypy, and seizures.
Note the Central symptoms of twitching or jerking movements.

Well, I'm home, and feeling fine (well, the new "normal," as they say). Thank you all for your prayers, etc.
It appears that perhaps I shouldn't combine the two. I'm supposed to contact MS neuro in the morning to discuss the Amantadine as a possible suspect, since it can cause tremors, shaking, etc. Well, Nancy says I've been twitching a lot more in my sleep the past few nights, so we suspect the Flexeril must've triggered something, since I just started it Monday night. I've been taking Amantadine for several weeks with no problems of which I'm aware. [shrug]
Pastordan... I have been fine with amantadine so far. Never used flexeril.
I am hoping you are ok!!! Just wanted to sy I am thinking of u.
No help with meds but prayers for you and yours. Karen
Let us know how you are.....when you are able. My thoughts & prayers are with you. Take Care, Karry.
