Can Flexril And Methodone Be Taken While Suffering From Grave S Disease?
I have Grave disease and hyperparathyroidism and hyperthyroidism. I am taking Flexril and along with 10 years of methodone for Filbromyalgia and many spine issues. is this safe to take these meds. I was told a few days ago that there is a risk in taking methadone of heart issues that can be fatal. I as told that I should be getting annual EKG to find out my QTC( I believe that is correct) ratings.
