[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 181743"] I had blood drawn today to check electrolytes, etc. I'm on an ace inhibitor (blood pressure medication) with a diuretic so it's standard procedure. I am kinda worried about my potassium with the cramps and am amping up my bananas, yogurt, watermelon and potatoes. But, I also started taking prilosec recently for GERD and was just reading possible adverse reactions and it listed muscle cramps. I have a tendency for them anyway, but not to this extreme. If the blood work comes back ok, we'll probably have to look at switching the prilosec to something else and see if that does anything. Who knows...with all the medications I'm on it's a cr@pshoot. I was comparing on rx list and it seems that flexeril has more drowsiness issues and more cardiac precautions compared to skelaxin. I'll make sure my doctor knows about this. [/QUOTE]
