What Causes Anxiety, Depression And Muscle Spasms After Withdrawing Cyclobenzaprine And Oxycodone?
I was prescribed cyclobenzaprine 10 mg tab, 1 tab 3x/day and Oxycodone 10 mg tab, 1 tab po every 4 hrs prn after getting shot 5 times all over my body. I ran out of both the cyclobenzaprine and Oxycodone a week ago. After that I started having restless nights, muscle spasms on my shoulders, legs, back, and arms, sciatic nerve, restless legs, anxiety and some depression. I want to know if these symptoms are side effects from stopping both medications cold turkey?

Hello,
* As per my clinical experience, the assembly of symptoms of anxiety, depression, muscle spasms indicate withdrawal symptoms of Cyclobenazaprine and Oxycodone.
* As the medicines were stopped abruptly since 1 week, these symptos have appeared.
* It is recommended to start both of the molecules in same doses as per the previous use for resolution of the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
