[QUOTE="Brandi, post: 2254478, member: 24446"] You have to realize that the warnings are generalized. The prescriber can decide that in this case, at this dosage.....these medications are safe to be used together. Pain medication and muscle relaxers are prescribed often when the condition warrants it. If you were taking muscle relaxer "MR" and another doctor prescribed pain medication "PM" that warning is there for you to say "hmmm, I better check before taking these at the same time". If the doctor wrote you a prescription for both he or she has determined that it's safe to do so. The warning labels are extremely broad to cover a lot of things at once so you have to take that into consideration. If you are worried, by all means, talk to the person who wrote the scripts and make sure it's ok. Mistakes do happen so it doesn't hurt to ask. I've been prescribed pain medication and muscle relaxers a few times pre and post surgery and after severe injuries so it's not a deadly mix by any means. Generally the danger is CNS or Central Nervous System depression (your body's "urge" to breathe slows or stops) but that danger is determined by your medical professional. [/QUOTE]
