Can Valium And Robaxin Be Taken Together?

My Dr. Has increased m dosage of clonazepam from 2mgs daily to 8 mgs daily! I have been on this drug since a TBI in 2001- My NY Drs were weaning me off it, but since I had to move to Fl. to care for my now deceased father since my momma was killed in a car accident I am now on such a high dose it scares me, I do not want to go through horrifying withdrawal . I feel normal on this drug, but when I try to stop, I can t speak, cry, etc...My new Dr. doesn t seem concerned w/ this, says everybody has to be on something always sooner or later- He is very elderly & I am terrified (he only practices one day week) if he retires I will die from grand mal seizures or simply lose my mind if another Dr .refuses to prescribe. I asked him to help me get to a lower dosage & he said Are you ready? then suggested I try to do it myself, but I can t, I get weepy etc... when I do (try to lower dose). My Momma was killed in horrible car wreck, I took care of my Dadddy w/ Parkinsons & he just passed away so my Dr. seems to think I need this high dose. He put me on 10mgs Valium quid for a month but I hated it . I have been trying to take care of horse farm alone now, sore all the time, have some left over Robaxin from car wreck I was in 2 days after Daddy died- Can I take them together w/out bad effects? My muscles are so sore- How do I get off this benzo? I feel like I am Klonipin s slave- pleeeease help. Thank you, God Bless-

Hello,

As per your doctor's advice you can take both without any side effects at all but if you feel more sleepy or tired then consult with your treating doctor to adjust the dose so a close observation is required while taking both at a time.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
