Metaxalone "Makes my back pain tolerable, and helps me stay active. Doesn't always control the pain, but helps quite a bit most of the time. I am using it with ibuprofen."

Metaxalone "I had a back spasm. The pain went on for almost two weeks. I got a prescription for Skelaxin. It did nothing for me. Taking 800 mg of ibuprofen did a better job."

"This drug does nothing for me except make me extremely sleepy. I have severe back pain, and this was one of the medicines the doctor prescribed. No benefit, my back still hurts."

Metaxalone "My doctor added this with the Vicodin, no relief of anything, and very expensive. I'll stick to Flexeril when I need a muscle relaxer."
