Can Ultram Or Cyclobenzaprine Which Has Not Been Used For A Long Time Be Used For Intense Back Spasms Now?

HI
I am having intense back spasms and haven't used my prescription on ultram or cyclobenzaprine for a couple
of months. Now that I have been taking zoloft 25mg for a month, can I still use either one of these for back spasms and muscle tension. Thanks for any advice.

Hello,
It is not advisable to use the prescription which is given before a month ie. Old prescription.
Because the cause for your back pain need further evaluation by physician to find the correct diagnosis.
I do not recommend my patients to use medicines on their own without any medical advice.
In addition you may land in unwanted side effects and interactions.
Some tablets may increase the risk of preexisting diseases like hypertension, diabetes.

Thus always consult your treating physician before taking any drugs.

Hope this helps.
Please write back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
