> Need to change l.5xanax and 2.5valium to ativan, add soma, taking doxycycline for lymes again, and the 50 of luvox and synthroid. Seems they or some interfere with ca and magnesium dairy products and synthroid is timing. I can't do it if I can't figure it out. Can I make all the switches at once. Add sunburn in the mix and I'm so confused. And don't understand soma at all. If it relaxes muscles why doesn't it help with anxiety. Please help or I'm quitting meds too complicated. Thanks Phillipa
Soma is essentially a sedative. It relaxes muscles only by virtue of its sedative effect. It is not an analgesic.
To be honest, I don't see any reason for you to take Soma. You are already taking Valium, a sedative/muscle relaxant. You may need a different type of pain medication, but not Soma.
Also, why do you need to switch to Ativan? Abruptly switching from Xanax+Valium to Ativan is likely to make you feel unwell. 'Equivalent' doses are only approximate and whatever dose of Ativan you switch to it isn't likely to be correct. You would then have to increase/decrease the Ativan until you felt better. I do not understand the reason for doing this.
