(Not that I'm advocating making a party mix of pills and taking huge handfuls t hides Benadryl or anything. Just -- lots and lots of people take ADs and opiates, and they don't "react badly." Statistically, we'd know if they did. Opiates will fuck you up if you mix them with booze or benzos, and you have to be judicious with flexiril, but antidepressants are NBD.)
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

You know, for a pinched nerve, Flexiril would be better anyway. If you can get the muscle to chill the fuck out, it will stop pinching the nerve so badly. But pain meds might be called for, too, because nerve pain is awful.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Thanks. I just can't see how it's good for her to keep hurting. It was diagnosed as tendinitis initially, so it's been hurting her for a while. And I'm really sensitive to the idea of someone being in pain when they don't have to, as I'm sure we all are.
(Hey, why is it spelled tendInitis when the word is tendOn? That's weird.)
She just came back and said the pharmacy warned her about serotonin syndrome. Is that something opiates would contribute to?

Valium was prescribed alongside Hubby's heavy duty pain drugs, because his pain doc knew how wearing constant, intractable pain was.

Tramadol would be the most likely to cause serotonin syndrome, with SSRIs. With other opiates and other ADs, the risk really falls in the category of "hey, if these symptoms happen, STOP TAKING THE DRUGS and call your doctor." Which is to say, it *could* occur, just like the way they warn you about the scary allergic reaction where all your skin wants to fall off, but it's SUPER unlikely.

Thanks. I've passed all of this on to her.
Now I'm off to urgent care to get a shot of Toradol for a migraine. Ha.

The only regular cat that has eluded me is Peaches. PEACHES! Where are you and what do you want from me??

Peaches has shown up ONCE, but not long enough for me to see her. So she's in my Catbook, but I don't have a picture.

I don't have peaches in my cat book. Apricot yes but no Peaches.
