What Causes Muscle Spasms In The Body While On Xanax?

I take soma, percocet & xanax, among other meds for a variety of health issues. My doctor s office told me that the pharmacist is hesitant to fill all three meds. I ve tried every muscle relaxer currently on the market but none of them worked as well as soma. Why are they concerned about my taking all three long-term? These are working great for me & I hesitate to try other medications. I have fibromyalga, which the percocet helps keep the constant pain under control. I also suffer from anxiety attacks, hence the xanax & I get severe muscle spasms over my entire body, which the soma helps. What should I do?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per my clinical experience, the current presentation suggests effect over the mitochondria of the muscles from synergistic use of mentioned drugs. In our clinic, I recommend to isolate the drug dosages and monitor the symptoms to get rid of the muscle spasms. In addition to above, supplements of magnesium will help great.
