Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Hi everyone, I hope the holidat weekend went well for all (those that had memorial day this weekend). It was non-stop rain and gloom for us so maybe what I am going to ask the group is more related t the weather than to the pancreatitis but...... I was given a prescription for a muscle relaxer (tizanidine) to act in conjunction with the trigger point injections to get my spasming muscles that are related to the pancreatitis to calm down. I started taking the new meds last wednesday. I am thinking that these meds are making my pain worse, as well as my general overall feeling (no motivation, no appetite, just feel very ickky). The drug precautions mentioned that it can elevate liver function tests but said nothing about influencing the pancreas. I want to discontinue the meds but am afraid that if I do, the doc will see this as me being non-compliant and difficult (I refuse to take neurontin or elavil because I had bad reactions to these a few years ago). Has anyone had any experience with muscle relaxers and your pancreatitis? Laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
