I take carbamezapine for seizures along with dilantin and synthroid for thyroid problems alongwith
Zetia, and protonix,amlodipine,benicar,antara,and nabumetone.
I am haveing rather bad back spasms of pain and have just been given skelaxin 800 mg tablets.
Is there anything I need to worry about conserning my other medicines?

I HAD BEEN TAKING CARBAMEZAPINE OR TEGRETOL FOR 5 YEARS. AFTER TAKING THIS MED FOR 6 MONTHS, MY BACK WENT OUT. SINCE 2004, I HAVE HAD CONSTANT PAIN AND DISCOMFORT IN MY RIGHT LEG, HIP, BUTTOCK, AND LOWER BACK. I RECENTLY SAW A NEUROLOGIST TO TRY TO SWITCH THE MED BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT PAIN, TO SEE IF IT WAS AT ALL CAUSING IT. ABOUT 1-2 WEEKS AFTER I WAS OFF THE TEGRETOL, THE PAIN SUBSIDED TO THE POINT I WAS SINGING HALELLUHA! I KNOW THE PAIN WILL NOT GO COMPLETELY AWAY BECAUSE OF THE ANEURYSM RUPTURING AND HEMORRHAGING INTO MY BRAIN. BUT, IT IS BETTER SINCE I AM ON OXACARBAMEZAPINE INSTEAD OF THE TEGRETOL. UNFORTUNATELY, I WILL NEED TO GET OFF THIS MED, TOO. TOO MANY OTHER SIDE EFFECTS.
