Does Meloxicam And Baclofen Cause Stomach Upset?

I took a Meloxicam 7mg. and a Baclofen 10 mg. One of these game me an upset stomach. Do you think it was the Meloxicam or the Baclofen? I think it was the muscle relaxer because one of these pills are just like Aleve, am I correct? I won t take it again, I have been sick all night, it is for a muscle spasm in my neck, or a stiff neck. I hate pills. I can t believe the site is asking for money. What a scam..................I will call Walgreens. It is a 24 hour Walgreens, they know more than the doctors do anyways. Stick it! You got enough money from my insurance and the prescriptions. I would love to be a doctor on line too. I used to be a Pharmacy Tech.
