that is robaxin. i tried that and felt AWFUL. hangover symptoms on top of adding to my wd

it is called methocarbamol.  i had never even heard of it.  i should have looked it up before i took it but all i did was read the info that came with it.  and yes i had a small snack with it, you know not much appetite, but now i am starving!  i never liked pot but i feel like i smoked enough reefer to eat a whole cow.  but at the same time my insides are like jumping beans.  i think you are right, that once i eat a good meal i will start to feel better.  but i definitely know now that i will not be able to take this medication.  i want a tramadol so bad.  i know, that is bad but i really do.  im not gonna though, the best way to not take them is to not have them in the house and i made sure that i didnt.  but now i am starting to feel like i jumped the gun on this and i should have weaned myself off.

Hey honey! I have not checked in.  Been out of town all day since my last post.  Muscle relaxers can actually make acute WDs from opiates and tram worse when you aren't more than a couple of days out.  Kinda like benadryl.  What kind are you taking?  

Drink some apple juice.  Take cal/mag if you have it.  Get in a hot bath.  And if you can AT ALL, get some Hylands.  It helps the restlessness SO much. I didn't think it would help me, but it did.  You don't have much longer until you are over the hump.  Please hang on!

Hey~  What's the name of the drug?     Have you eaten?  Start drinking water and try to relax,the feeling should pass.

i dont think the muscle relaxer was a good idea after all, i dont like this feeling at all.  it is like i still feel like i am freaking out on the inside and stoned on the outside.  i hate both feelings!  i dont know what to do but i cant stand this.

Hi its the other LuckyGirl! I found that my lorazepam helped. Plus i started on the calcium/magnesium supplements, apple juice and the Hyland's Restless Leg remedy. That has already taken the edge off and I just took 2 about 45 mins ago. Of course I am freezing with the chills but thats better than the legs. Hang in there. I am on day 6 and have come a long way since last week. Definitely loads of vitamins, the hot epsom salt baths, gatorade, advil. and keep reading here. it totally helped me. my hub is going thru this with me too.
