Antidepressants and spasms HELP!!! AK
My buttock muscle spasms are getting totally out of controll and I am having similar symptoms of what I had before surgery (wah.com) with tickling sensations that drive me crazy and I can't move for hours. Muscle relaxants do nothing. The only thing that goes near it is ativan which knocks me out and I hate. I have been doing a lot of piraformis (sp)? stretches which pt told me was the problem.
The spasms are getting like ticks now maybe 3 per second...exhausting!!!! for hours. I'm going to take a bunch of potassium to see if that helps. The doctor and I were talking about switching from prozac to something else as people develop restless leg and other issues from prozac. I'm getting really discouraged as I've been in bed at least half of the week with these spasms driving me crazy. Surgeon on vacation and will contact him as soon as he returns. Any ideas welcome...thanks!

Haven't you been through enough? Perhaps you might consider getting this muscle released (another surgery). Contact Mark for the best doctor.
Good luck - Dale

oh my
I'm sorry to read your spasms have stayed triggered. I don't know what to recommend as when mine get triggered when all else fails I either get an injection of Toradol or if I'm really just in such rotten shape I will lie down in front of the TV and have myself a pretty good sized glass of vino or two and then my body just knocks out. That's called downing out the central nervous system. I realize some here would think that unthinkable esp. as I'm on an opioid pain medication (low dose 1x/day) but in reality this is a very limited use remedy and what happens is I totally relax and go to sleep.
This being said I'm not sure your spasms would be as easily remedied given the hardware in place. I hope someone offers some ray of hope ASAP. Please keep us informed.
