For Muscle Spasm "Been taking this since initially hurting back in a car accident 10 years ago, am now a senior citizen. Sometimes works as well as Vicodin pain pill. I love this product. Stops the back and leg muscle spasms. Hard to live without this product. Little to no side effects. I take it in the morning and at bedtime to prevent muscle spasms - it works for me. Besides bulged L4 and L5 discs in lower back, I have sciatica on the right side, also DDD, arthritis, restless leg syndrome (I take gabapentin for latter). I tried Flexeril, which made me feel like puking and drowsy. When I changed doctors, no thanks. Soma was too strong, could not function, slurred my words, could not walk, stand. Seriously stopped the muscle spasms in back, sides, and legs. My insurance with Wellcare/Staywell."

For Muscle Spasm "After trying dozens of muscle relaxers over the past year and having side effects like non-stop vomiting, severe nausea (so bad that I could not get my head out of a trash can), not to mention the sharp pains in my stomach and not being able to eat anything. I figured this was just another trial. Boy, was I shocked when I tried this one. Granted, it's not perfect, but I have part of my life back and am not neurotic that I have at least three ziplock bags in my purse and one in each sweater pocket in case I cannot get to the restroom in time."

For Muscle Spasm "Chlorzoxazone works great on spasms, but it can relax the diaphragm and cause burping and trouble breathing, etc. I have ankylosing spondylitis, MS, psoriatic arthritis, and asthma. After radio frequency nerve ablation on my right S.I. joint, my pain mgmt Dr. prescribed the 500mg tablet for daytime. It's been amazing! I take tizanidine at bedtime, but it causes dizziness and nausea if I stand, no good in the daytime. I had a little dizziness the first 2 days, but have been on it for about 8 years, it's allowed me to be functional. As with any med, there can sometimes be severe side effects. If your Dr. doesn't go over the potential interactions or warnings, look it up on a 'trusted' website, preferably the manufacturer. I take so many meds, I always check. I've been having more breathing problems recently, not asthma related, so may stop taking this to see if it improves. I hate to lose this, but I'll see. If you can tolerate it, it can be a game changer."
