Does Trazadone Interact With Flexeril?
Question: can i take trazadone with flexoril. Oxacodone keeps me awake at night and does not really help with the pain
Brief Answer:
NO, combination should not be used
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
NO, these CANNOT be used together.
Both of these medications increase the levels of a chemical called serotonin. IN general it is not advised to use multiple medications that increase serotonin.
While small increases in serotonin is fine and actually the main way many medications work, very high levels can cause a lot of problems
Very high levels of serotonin can lead to serotonin syndrome which can be mild or severe in some cases.
It is associated with increased body temperature, increased heart rate, tremors , increased reflexes, muscle spasm, profuse sweating, seizures
You should not use this combination
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
