Yes, there is no problem in taking those 2 drugs together as long as both are prescribed for you. There is no interaction.

High doses of Elavil (50 mg and more) might hurt the stomach. You can take it with food if needed.

A guarded Yes. Skelaxin (Metaxalone) and Naproxyn serve different functions. Metaxalone is a muscle relaxant and Naproxyn is an anti-inflamatory. What's more, their pharmokinetics are significantly different, so interaction problems are not overtly likely. I have not been able to find any direct synergy or contraindication between these two drugs. I would assume that these two medications can be taken in conjunction, at the proper dosages, with no ill effects derrived from an interaction. That said, these are both prescription medications and, while neither is especially dangerous if adminstered correctly under a doctor's care, this question should be properly addressed to a medical doctor. Note that I do not offer this as medical advice, nor do I represent myself to be a healthcare professional.

Of course. I am guessing you got these prescribed because a car accident? Someone rear ended me today with her going 60 and me parked, major whiplash, and the doc gave me both of these. But yeah, you definitely can take together. *** The two are commonly prescribed together. Do be careful. I was given them after a car accident and the combination of the two made me act really weird. I felt really aggressive, lost track of time, was confused, upset, kind of delusional. I'd have someone else around to watch you before you take the two of them together. I could have really hurt myself if my husband hadn't been there. flexiril = depressant...careful

Have done it with no bad effects!

I have taken both together but not on a regular basis. And I wonder the same thing since I have 20 meds in my cabinet from the past 20 Dr visits and the 2-3 medications he will prescribe on each visit.

Now like many...what was given to take together and what should not be taken in combination.

Yes, one is a non-narcotic pain reliever and the other is a muscle relaxer. I am currently on Zoloft for anxiety and I had an issue with my back. The two drugs might cause possible bleeding of the stomach if I'm not careful or drink alcohol with it, but alone they're safe and at the most might make you more relaxed and sleepy. Just don't drive commercially or operate heavy machinery.
