User Reviews for Methocarbamol

Robaxin (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm: I absolutely love this Medication. After being in a car accident I suffer from permanant back and neck damage. I am also a hair dresser. In order to work I will have to be on Pain killers and muscle relaxers the rest of my life. I started by taking Percocet and grew an allergy to all opiate derivatives. As a result my doctor perscribed me Robaxin. My family has a high tolerance to pain medication so I was afraid that it would not work. I was pleasantly surprised. It worked wonderful and I could still function and focus. An added plus is that there is no possibility of dependancy. I love it.

Robaxin (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm: It worked great for pain when I was unable to take any medication containing any type of opiate. I had severe back spasms.

Robaxin (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm: Robaxin works great for me but only for short periods of time. I am on for 3 weeks and then off for 1 week.

Robaxin (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm: I tried no less than 10 muscle relaxers for Fibromyalgia. This one was the only one that did the trick and left me with zero side effects.

Robaxin (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm: I have used it many times for muscle spasms. A low dose usually is all that is needed. No side effects except a little drowsiness.

methocarbamol for Opiate Withdrawal: Wasn't fond of opiate based medications and this helped with the withdrawal symptoms. Does some good (7/10) in alleviating tightness of the muscles when taken as prescribed, but the great thing about it is, there is no possibility of dependency.

Robaxin-750 (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm: This worked great on my TMJ spasms!

methocarbamol for Muscle Spasm: Methocarbamol is the best. I hate opiate based medications, make me dizzy and sick - methocarbamol 500mg taken with 800mg ibuprofen was like a beautiful switch from heaven. It just turned off the pain - with absolutely no side effects- except for the first time, some well needed sleep. I pull back muscles quite often and that combination instantly works every time.

Robaxin-750 (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm: This helps with fibromyalgia pain, but I really need to take it 4 times a day as prescribed or still have pain. I still feel the pain, but it doesn't bother me that much.

methocarbamol for Opiate Withdrawal: As an opiate addict for about 10 years with a nasty addiction this drug helped aid in the withdrawal/opiate detox. Needless to say it still wasn't easy. This made those long painful nights just a little more tolerable. It helped with the muscle pains where other opiate substitute medications failed me. Also I didn't feel the need to continue taking these once the opiate addiction was driven down to a tolerable rate. As for the the upset stomach, I just tried to keep healthy foods in my diet and that slowly went away. This medication didn't help in that regard. I had no side effects.

methocarbamol for Muscle Spasm: I'm not sure why this medicine is referred to as the "poor man's Soma" because I was taking Soma and my Doc prescribed this for better and longer lasting relief. I am a 6'2" 300 lb bodybuilder and Soma wasn't doing anything. I took this for the first time last night, and it worked! I was out for 45minutes, combined with Elavil. Got off the recliner, and went to bed at 1030 and woke up this morning without back spasm pain. I'll be taking it this morning to prevent the onset of spasms and to gauge how to tolerate during the day.

Robaxin (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm: Muscle spasms stopped in 3 days. Itching is the only side effect I experienced.

Robaxin (methocarbamol): I have had a couple of automobile related auto accidents over the years that have caused severe spinal issues. 1 cervical laminectamy, two fusions and numerous procedures later spanning almost 2 decades. Robaxin is the one drug that I can count on for spasm relief. Over the years various doctors have tried to put me on other medicines but I always came back to the one that worked quickly and without fail.

methocarbamol for Muscle Spasm: I have spinal stenosis, 4 herniated discs and nerve damage in both legs. I have found methocarbomal (also known as Robaxin) to be an important part of my pain treatment. Alone it doesn't control my pain but combined with MS-Contin I have found it to be a perfect mix to treat my chronic daily pain. The MS-Contin controls most of the pain and the Robaxin helps lessen the pain from muscle spasms. I do have an odd side affect as occasionally I have some nausea after taking it. Not every time, so I would suggest taking the medication with food, it may help alleviate any nausea that you may experience.

methocarbamol for Muscle Spasm: I love Methocarbamol. I tend to have muscle spasms that cramp my body in horrific way. Thanks to Methocarbamol, not only did I feel well enough to crawl out of bed, I bowled my best game ever while on it! I had to get a ride to the bowling alley, because I was a little too spacey to get there myself.

methocarbamol for Muscle Spasm: Lower to mid back pain (unexplained) - This medicine works well. It has a slight drowsy side effect but takes away most of my pain. I can get through my day without the distraction of a constant stabbing pain. Well worth the side effect.

methocarbamol for Muscle Spasm: I take for sciatica, ruptured L4/5 disc, osteoarthritis in knees, hips and spine. Tramadol and Neurontin for pain and maintenance dose of 750mg. Methocarbamol 2X daily for spasm. The combination is excellent and helps restless leg syndrome and parenthesis too. I was able to reduce daily sleep medicine to usage 'as needed'. Side Effect: Exacerbates urge type of urinary incontinence, drowsiness.

Robaxin-750 (methocarbamol) for Opiate Withdrawal: Took 1000 mg for minor withdrawls from heroin use, and it really did the trick. Completely alleviated my muscle pains, and definitely had an effect on the skin crawls as well. I'm really glad I had these.
