doctor appt today

Hi everyone. Im new to this site. I have a question. I have my monthly dr appt with my pain specialist today. He had me on methocarbmol for a muscle relaxor. This did not work for me. It gave me hot flashes in which I already have hot flashes. And I felt no relieve. Could anyone recommend a good muscle relaxor. And also whi h if any anti depressant do u recommend. Thank you.

Hi Machaell... first of all, welcome to the forum!

When it comes to recommending medications, that's something that only your doctor will know because of the other meds you're taking (herbals included if I'm not mistaken), your medical history, and so on. What may be recommended as working great for someone here (either muscle relaxant or anti-depressant) may be something that would be very harmful to the next person.

Best of luck with your appointment! Your pain specialist will know which meds you can safely take, and which would be harmful.

My Doctor prescribes Flexeril for a muscle relaxor. Maybe this is something you could talk to your doctor about. Best of luck!
