Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | The Soma made the patient agitated and did not work. The Flexril made the patient relax and sleep enough to let the rib heal nicely.
|
| Side effects: | | The Wellbutrin at times causes confusion in thought transfer. |
| Comments: | | No Activity for six weeks as patient was a truckdriver for a living and fell in the bathroom at home and broke her rib. It was floating around and lung puncture was the greatest concern. The Flexril made the patient relax to almost oblivion therefore disabling her ability to move around. The Wellbutrin was for bipolar disorder and was taken twice a day for at least a year and prior to that Cymbalta which she said gave her gas. |
