Don't worry about Flexeril. It's a NON NARCOTIC muscle relaxer and has little to no potential for addiction.
Oxycodone is a highly addictive narcotic pain reliever. However, if you're only taking 2-3 a day for a short period of time (a week or less) then you shouldn't become addicted. I'm prescribed Norco (Hydrocodone) which is a little less potent as Oxycodone, and I found if I take it for more than a week my brain/body becomes dependent on it. So in short, you should be fine with taking 2-3 per day for a week. Quote:

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI. Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain. Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms. Slowly but surely regaining my life back. |

Thanks... I'm not even taking that many... usually one a day, at bed, today was a strange day where I needed it in the afternoon... I don't even think I've taken one every day... I'll be careful though... thanks.

Feb 24, 2012 - Slipped on a large puddle of ice at work, hitting the back of my head. No loss of consciousness, so I assumed I'd be back at work within a few days. I was wrong. When resting, symptoms are low. With exertion, I still suffer from fatigue, migraines, vision problems, problems thinking or reading, troubles sleeping, issues finding or getting words to my mouth when the headaches are bad, tinnitus, and thyroid issues which I think are due to the concussion. Seen one specialist, and now a few others through insurance review of my case. Hoping for further treatment. |
