Cyclobenzaprene. Both were legitimate prescriptions within the same calendar year, but long enough apart that I guess the GP and pharmacy didn't see a reason to flag them as a conflict. I looked it up AFTER the fact and found that they can in fact cause seizures when taken together. I check EVERYTHING now and BEFORE taking it. I can't take Fentanyl at all - makes me puke constantly. Hydrocodone sort of works, but Oxycodone really does the trick. Fortunately, I only need to take it occasionally and a 5/325 generally does the trick, but sometimes I need two and other times a half works. I don't like the tripped out feeling but it only lasts a couple of hours. At least it takes care of the pain and I can still function. I absolutely can NOT understand why anyone would use such substances for "recreational" purposes - and I was a major league pot head 20+ years ago. I did at least 3 huge bong hits before each of my senior finals in college and graduated magna cum laude! The narcotic pills thing just eludes me.
