Can oxycodone and skelaxin be taken together?

In: Medication and Drugs, Adderall, Drug Interactions, Oxycodone, Muscle Relaxants [Edit categories]

Answer:

yes you can. just be careful because the two work together and may increase the risk of CNS depression and psychomotor impairment. make sure you don't drive or do anything like that! consider reducing dosage or the oxy too

I have been taking Oxycontin 90 mg twice a day and 800mg skelaxin as needed for 11 years and the skelaxin is very well tolerated.
Its the only muscle relaxer i could take that doesn't make me lethargic. flexerall knocks me right out,I can only take half of the 10 mg tab and I still am groggy in the morning.
