What Causes Vomiting While On Muscle Relaxers For Lower Back Pain?
I have been taking muscle relaxers for low back pain. I started throwing up my food two years ago, first it happened 1-2 times in 6 months, and now it is happening 2 or more a week. My doctor has checked my stomach/colon with not finding anything wrong. Can these muscle relaxers be causing my throwing up??

Hi
Yes they can, and this is quite a common side effect experienced by patients on muscle relaxants. Other possible causes have been ruled out before assuming this, and so in my opinion this is indeed the cause.
Best wishes
