I have MS, FMS, RA, IBS, EBV, Primary Insomnia, Chronic Back Pain, and Major Depressive Disorder. I take quite a few medications, including Flexeril and Ultram. My Rhuematologist recently switched Flexeril for Skelaxin due to the interaction of Flexeril and Ultram; specifically that the two together cause a Seratonin Effect. What is exactly Serotonin Effect, and what effect may it have had on me? Does it potentially have an impact on my insomnia? Can I still take Flexeril during the day? Should the Flexeril be abandoned entirely? Help!
