I ran out of (Naproxen) helping my family move, I hurt my back. So I like to know if I can take my mom's (Methocarbamol). Because I been moving boxes & tables, when I should have learned the first time.
Hello, Is Naproxen equal or close to Methocarbamol? Thank you, Jackie?

They are very different medications. Methocarbamol is a muscle relaxant and Naproxen is an NSAID (non steroidal anti-inflammatory) You can buy Naroxen over the counter as Aleve. The dosage per pill is a little lower but it is the same medication.
