Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Hey Everyone, Its Gail in Georgia, Last Thursday I had my first visit with my pain specialist and she prescribed Methocarbam (Robaxin) And Ultracet for pain. I began taking these medications Thursday night and havent slept since, The Restless leg syndrome has doubled, the pain has doubled, and My skin has a crawley sensation like theres ants crawling on my skin. When I try to sleep I constantly jump and jerk all night long and my legs and feet tingle like crazy, Even hot soaks in the tub hasnt releved the sensations and pain. Wanted to know has anyone else tried these medications and did anyone have any of these effects. I Wont be taking these meds any more and have a call into my Pain specialist to get another prescription. If anyone has any feed back on these two drugs, Please let me know.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Gail, That's awful! I haven't taken either of these yet, BUT my doc gave me the Robaxin today and I am going to start tonight --- now I'm scared to try it -- I'll let you know if it starts affecting me. a > Hey Everyone, > > Its Gail in Georgia, Last Thursday I had my first visit with my pain > specialist and she prescribed Methocarbam (Robaxin) And Ultracet for > pain. > > I began taking these medications Thursday night and havent slept > since, The Restless leg syndrome has doubled, the pain has doubled, > and My skin has a crawley sensation like theres ants crawling on my > skin. > > When I try to sleep I constantly jump and jerk all night long and my > legs and feet tingle like crazy, Even hot soaks in the tub hasnt > releved the sensations and pain. > > Wanted to know has anyone else tried these medications and did anyone > have any of these effects. > > I Wont be taking these meds any more and have a call into my Pain > specialist to get another prescription. > > If anyone has any feed back on these two drugs, Please let me know. > > Gail ( in a walking Coma in Ga)!

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Hi Gail, I tried Ultracet about a year ago and it did NOTHING! It was like taking a baby aspirin. I have not taken methocarbam. I sure hope you can get something that will give you some relief. Good luck, Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 I don't know about the first one, because I never heard of it. But ultracet works wonders for me and I don't have any problem with it. The only thing I find bothersome for me when I take the flexril my eyes starts to itch & it gets all red. That is the only thing I can tell you. I would recommend you call your dr asap! You might be having an adverse reaction. Ruth Smitycrochet@... Smitycrochet@... Ruth.@...
