For Fibromyalgia "I take metaxalone when I feel the pain coming on. For at least three days then I stop because I have to still take aspirin for other conditions. It alleviates some of the pain."

For Muscle Spasm "I had a back spasm. The pain went on for almost two weeks. I got a prescription for Skelaxin. It did nothing for me. Taking 800mg of ibuprofen did a better job."

For Muscle Spasm "Makes my back pain tolerable, and helps me stay active. Doesn't always control the pain, but helps quite a bit most of the time. I am using it with Ibuprofen."

For Fibromyalgia "I have Fibromyalgia and was prescribed this to help with the pain. It didn't work well at all. Carisoprodol is a much better muscle relaxant. I also take Tylenol w/ Codeine #3 which also helps."

For Muscle Spasm "My doctor added this with the Vicodin, no relief of anything and very expensive. I'll stick to Flexeril when I need a muscle relaxer."

"I was prescribed Skelaxin after being diagnosed with advanced DDD and stenosis. It doesn't help with the pain and I get the same drowsy effects that I had with Flexerill."
