User Reviews for Methocarbamol

Robaxin-750 (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm: Does not cure it completely but cuts down the severe bouts of pain to a more manageable level. Can make falling asleep at night more difficult. No cost as in the UK on our NHS.

methocarbamol for Muscle Spasm: I am in pain all the time having rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. And have been taking Lortabs to help with the pain. But recently suffered sciatica. The doctors ordered naproxen and methocarbamol for the sciatic pain. WOW! This medicine eased not only my pain from the sciatica but also pain from the rheumatoid arthritis and Fibromyalgia. It made me want to sleep a lot at first but I am getting over that as time goes on.

Robaxin-750 (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm: This medication worked wonders for my shoulder muscle spasms. However it did make my hands break out.

Robaxin-750 (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm: Very helpful.

methocarbamol for Opiate Withdrawal: After 7 years of Norco 10/325 I was taking 12-18 a day. Quit cold turkey and started Robaxin 1000 mg with 400 ibuprofen. Absolutely no body aches or restless legs! Mentally yes it's tough but this has been way better then I thought it would be. Imodium helps the diarrhea. I am almost 72 hours clean and physically have been great, even played 18 holes of golf yesterday. Slight headache and no motivation but pushing through it. Methocarbamol is a must for withdrawal!

Robaxin (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm: I've been on Robaxin since 3/11 when I suffered neck/shoulder injury/trauma and a compression fracture in my lower back due to an auto accident. I take it in conjunction with Lortab 10/500 for muscle spasms and pain. It has helped with pain relief. I can continue to drive for work which I drive in excess of 25,000 miles per year. It seems to have little if any side effects.

Robaxin (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm: My doctor prescribed me this for muscle spasms in my neck and through my right shoulder/arm. And by the time I was able to take it - -the spasms had quit on their own. I never threw out the meds and recently my spasms started back up again -which they do on occasion. My spasms are severe - - literally preventing me from being functional for upwards of 3 days. Robaxin actually works and releases a lot of the stress and pain from my spasms. Only downside is it takes upwards of an hour and a half or longer for me to feel the effects. Zero noticeable side-effects besides some mild drowsiness, which is no biggy. Helps me sleep at night through the pain. I'd recommend this medicine.

Robaxin-750 (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm: I take methocarbamol 750 3-4 times a day along with hydrocodone/aceteminaphen 7.5/325 3-4 times a day, both help very well with my lower back issues, arthiritis and protruding discs. Doesn't make me sleepy, just relaxes me alot.

Robaxin (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm: I'm an aging jock. I have many old injuries, but take Robaxin primarily for spinal pain - (L1-L2-L3) disk problems. I start dosing 3 days before I am scheduled to do something stupid, dose through the activity, then wind down for a day or two later. It makes my 60 y.o. body work like a 30 y.o. Unfortunately, that doesn't always work out so well, but with an NSAID like Naproxin Sodium, and a muscle relaxant like methocarb, I can stay immature for many more years. I find my only side effects come from playing too hard. I have experienced no other ones.

Robaxin (methocarbamol) for Opiate Withdrawal: It's a miracle pill! I would have not been able to break the habit, if it were not for methocarbomal! It really does work! For me the worst part of withdrawal is the pain in the bones (the feeling that your bones want to jump out of your skin). This medication along with Suboxone for me, has almost completely eliminated that pain! I take 2 x 750 or 3 500mg every 6 hours right before I take my Suboxone. Thank you, to whoever has made this pill. NOTE: when I wasn't going through withdrawal the medication had no type of reaction on me.

methocarbamol for Muscle Spasm: I took this among many other muscle relaxers for spasms and pain. Not sure if Xanax would interfere but it did nothing for me at all. Neither did many others. Best success was with Flexeril once you get past the first week of feeling like butter and sleeping like a rock. Was prescribed 3 10mg a day...no way, would have slept all day. Take one about 2-3 hours before bed and you are gold.

Robaxin-750 (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm: It only made the pain in my arm mild. It did not go away. I am in school and do a lot of typing and my arm, shoulder and sometimes fingers experience lots of pain so my doctor gave me these pills. They do not work well for me because I still feel the aches and pain just not as bad. When I take two, I get sleepy, take a nap then I can operate almost pain free for at least 4-5 hours.

Robaxin (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm: It made me want to crawl out of my own skin! Constant jumping legs and strange sensations all over my body. No sleep whatsoever. Maybe I am allergic.

methocarbamol for Muscle Spasm: I found that while treating my chronic pain, it also alleviated my foggy brain and anxiety and increased my ability to focus.

Robaxin (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm: Not as good as Flexeril or Baclofen, but it's better than nothing.

methocarbamol for Muscle Spasm: I was in a car wreck that caused nerve damage to the left side of my body in 2001 and then had a Laminectomy (back surgery) from a spinal meningioma (tumor) in 2008. I also have neuropathy. I had severe pain and spasms all the time. My Doctor prescribed Methocarbomol 750mg four X a day. I was also taking 10mg of Librium 3 x a day and tramadol HCL 50mg 2 X a day. I have stopped taking the Librium now 2012 but the Methacarbomal cuts way down on my spasms and the tramodol lets me sleep. It's so nice not to hurt like that anymore and to be able to sleep.

Robaxin (methocarbamol) for Opiate Withdrawal: Helped with cramping from opiate withdrawals for me!

Robaxin-750 (methocarbamol) for Opiate Withdrawal: I started Robaxin a month ago. I take 1000 mg a day and after my next script I'm cutting to 500mg a day, then quitting all together. I was on Loratb 10's for two years and been clean for almost a 40 days now. I was trying to quit for many many months, but my mind and selfishness just wouldn't allow it. I lost a lot of important things in my life due to opiate addiction for pain, so I recommend you do what I did and just be honest with the people closest to you, ask doctor for help and be honest with him. It is very hard to do and will be very emotional, but it will turn your life around I promise. Go to doctor!

methocarbamol for Muscle Spasm: I take this for cervical radiculopathy (herniated discs in my neck) in conjunction with Vicodin 7.5-750's. Works very well with the burning type of muscle spasms that cross from shoulder to shoulder. It also seems to relax my neck enough for the ulnar nerve that runs to my hand to not seem so impinged. I should also mention I started to take this originally when I started physical therapy for a slap repair on my left shoulder (combination neck/shoulder injury at work). It helped a great deal with therapy until my neck got worse. Now that I've been discharged from therapy and am waiting for neck to be fixed, it is a great deal calmer. I highly recommend it if you have similar issues. Virtually no side effects either.

Robaxin (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm: Was given this medication for degenerative disc disease and muscle spasms. I only take it at night, because it has heavy sedative effects. i.e. I take it at 7:00 pm, go to bed and if I wake up at 10:30 to use the bathroom I feel like I'm drunk, stumbling and uncoordinated. Makes you sleep through, unfortunately didn't do much to help the pain, still wake up with pain in my back.

Robaxin (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm: I have been in pain for years. Surgery 17 years ago, I'm only 39, that has left my back a degenerating mess. I found the right doctor who explained my back scans, remarking that I should be in extreme pain ALWAYS. Yeah, it's gotten there. Robaxin to the rescue! So far it's great. I think I need more frequent dosing. 1500mg per day prescribed. I'm taking 2250 (3 pills). It makes me feel nausea, yet allows me to get to my new job and work without an embarrassing spasm. Mine are BAD, so this medicine is helping.

Robaxin-750 (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm: I was given this medicine at 750 mg 4 times a day for spasms associated with spinal stenosis (narrowing of spinal cord causing major nerve pain and muscle spasms). These worked great along with Ultram! After lumber decompressive back surgery I came home from the hospital 48 hours after surgery taking only Robaxin and Ultram for the pain and could keep my pain level consistently under a 4! I had sleepy side effects for the first 2 days but was mild. I have colitis and gastritis and this medicine did not upset my stomach or cause any other side effects for me.

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.

Robaxin (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm: Somehow I managed to pinch a nerve in my right neck/shoulder area and it has been causing shooting pains from the shoulder to the thumb, numbing of the thumb, and occasional spasms in the shoulder area. The Robaxin has helped in a dramatic way, not 100% but definitely 75-80% better.

Robaxin-750 (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm: After total hip replacement, I've been having severe muscle spasms in my lower back due to psoas muscle involuntary contractions. Have been on Norco 10mg for pain, which had no effect on spasms. Ortho surgeon gave me Robaxin 750 3x's per day and spasms are now rare and not severe when they do occur.
