User Reviews for Methocarbamol

Robaxin (methocarbamol): 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): 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): 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): 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.

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

Robaxin-750 (methocarbamol): 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: 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 (methocarbamol): Muscle spasms stopped in 3 days. Itching is the only side effect I experienced.

methocarbamol: 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-750 (methocarbamol): Medication helps slightly with spasms, but has a high rate of stomach upset and gas.

methocarbamol: 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: This medication did not relieve my back pain. It kept me up all night with insomnia.

methocarbamol: I had no side effects with this medicine. I was able to enjoy my vacation thanks to it. I asked my doctor when I returned and she was happy to prescribe it for me. I'm very glad I had it.

Robaxin (methocarbamol): Made me irritable.

methocarbamol: 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.

Robaxin (methocarbamol): Another drug that does nothing for me at all. *sigh* I have fibromylgia and chronic back pain so I need a drug with some kick to it...this one does NOT.

methocarbamol: 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: Worked very well to help with pain management.

methocarbamol: 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.

methocarbamol: This did work for me, but I experienced quite a few of the side effects including memory problems, taste alteration, insomnia and shaking hands. It does work, but I found it difficult working while taking this and unfortunately taking time off was not an option.

Robaxin (methocarbamol): This medicine has not helped me much with pain relief at all.

methocarbamol: This drug has some weird effects when taken with food so make sure you take it on an empty stomach (which is usually the opposite) when taking it. It made me very spacy and my mind was fuzzy. Wasn't able to sleep well but it did take the pain away.

methocarbamol: Works good for menstrual cramps without a significant buzz so you can still function.

methocarbamol: Methocarbamol is a poor man's Soma at best. Soma is by far the reigning champion over all other muscle relaxers. Soma has been around since 1959.
