Yep.

That combination is actually very commonly prescribed for severe neck pain caused by an accident or disk herniation resulting in bad muscle spasms. I guarantee if you STOP taking the Flexeril, you'll find out how much good it's doing after it wears off in about 48 hours.

Make sure you stick to the dosages indicated on your prescriptions. Even though I use high amounts of opiates (Fentanyl and Percocet) Flexeril is the only drug that can actually knock me out anymore. Fantastic drug for muscle spasms.

Since it's a muscle relaxer, if you're more susceptible to the depressant side effects of the Oxycodone the combination can make you pretty drowsy, so caution is needed if you're not used to taking a lot.

It's been a while since I had to use Flexeril (about 2 years ago after my 3rd spinal operation) but my biggest recollection is after my first surgery on my cervical spine I was using it for about 6 weeks and ran out when I went to California to recuperate. I didn't realize how much it was keeping the spasms down until I ran out. Keep taking it per your prescribed schedule.

How soon can Oxycodone be taken for pain after Suboxone?

Suboxone (buprenorphine & naloxone) can stay in your system up to 48 - 72 hours. As long as it's in your system, the buprenorphine and the oxycodone will be competing with each other for opiate receptors in your brain; thus reducing the effect of oxycodone. Best to wait at least the half life of buprenorphine (20-48 hrs.) before taking the oxy.

I need To take oxycodone for a tooth problem how long do you need to be off suboxone for the oxycodone to work?

the half life of suboxone is 36 hours. So 72 hours would eliminate the suboxone from you entirely. But depending on your dose you could have oxycodone work sooner. Example if your mu receptors are not filled (2mg suboxone or below). But all in all you will have to wait a full two days before the oxycodone will work to your satisfaction, to my expierence.
