Can A Muscle Relaxer Be Taken While Taking Sertraline 100mg?
I am taking sertraline HCL 100 mg and would like to take half of a muscle relaxer. Is this safe? I don t want any terrible side effects, but my back hurts and I m having trouble sleeping (insomnia is a side effect of sertraline) so wanted to try taking half of a muscle relaxer! Is this safe?
