For Muscle Spasm "Metaxalone made me so extremely anxious, and made my blood pressure rise, as well as my pulse. My emotions were uncontrollable, and I would never take it again. Please monitor yourselves with this medication. I haven’t seen this reaction, and it needs to be posted."

For Fibromyalgia "I suffer from muscle and joint pain due to fibro and autoimmune. I took one on the first evening and two more 800 mg the next day (schedule was 800 mg x3). I got almost every side effect there was, and a couple days later, I am still not well. Irritability, anxiety, altered mood, complete loss of appetite, and gastritis that nothing is fixing much at all so far. I have been on other meds, but this is in my top 5 worst! Couldn't pay me to take this again!"

For Muscle Spasm "Metaxalone never worked for my muscle spasms. I quit taking them as they made me very nervous at night and raised my blood pressure."
