Robaxin (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm "I don't have any chronic problems. Last weekend I hurt my neck when cleaning the chicken coop and I was in agony for 2 days. Could not sit or lie down without unbearable pain in my neck and left shoulder blade. Went to my chiropractor 2 days in a row. Finally saw my doctor and he gave me Robaxin. What a relief! It stops the muscle tension completely for 4-6 hours. I will use it for a few days along with resting and warm epsom salt baths to be able to continue with my daily life. No side effects for me. Only used it one day."

For Muscle Spasm "I am in pain all the time having rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. And have been taking Lortabs to help with the pain. But recently suffered sciatica. The doctors ordered naproxen and methocarbamol for the sciatic pain. WOW! This medicine eased not only my pain from the sciatica but also pain from the rheumatoid arthritis and Fibromyalgia. It made me want to sleep a lot at first but I am getting over that as time goes on."

Robaxin-750 (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm "I have been taking Robaxin for Spinal stenosis, degenerative disc, lower back pain, muscle spasms and migraines , I've been on it about a week now and this medication is horrible! It does not help at all. I'm still in pain all day, everyday, my migraines have been getting worse, and it upsets my stomach so I stopped taking it. My migraines subsided and I have been able to eat properly."

Robaxin (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm "Somehow I managed to pinch a nerve in my right neck/shoulder area and it has been causing shooting pains from the shoulder to the thumb, numbing of the thumb, and occasional spasms in the shoulder area. The Robaxin has helped in a dramatic way, not 100% but definitely 75-80% better."

Robaxin-750 (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm "I had a Boston Scientific Spinal Cord Stimulator implanted a few months ago, after failed surgical back syndrome, from surgery number 4. During my recovery I was given Robaxin 750. Though the implant was a huge success for me, the muscle spasms and skeletal pain were still there in places. The Robaxin makes my shoulders, and lower muscles feel so much better. I plan to ask my PCP to carry on with the medication. I see no problems since it's not an opioid, narcotic, or addicting. Some people it will help, and some it wont. I have had no side effects or reactions."

Robaxin (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm "Robaxin has worked very well for my back muscle spasms. Also for tension headache due to muscle tension in my neck and head. My only side effects were initially a feeling of constantly needing to urinate even when there was no need. But that went away after a few weeks. Now though I have been experiencing bad dreams and broken sleep, problem is I don't know if these negative effects are from the Robaxin or something else I am taking. I do take several other medications in addition to the Robaxin."

For Muscle Spasm "I am a 65 year old paraplegic with central cord pain. 31 years now in a wheelchair. I am maxed out on Baclofen and Valium. I started using Methacarbamol 2 months ago. It works the best out of all the spinal cord meds I currently use. I’m taking a dose of 750mg twice daily. I will be asking for more at my next visit."

Robaxin-750 (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm "Pulled my lower abdominal muscles working. These work great for the spasms I've been experiencing. I take one 750mg robaxin and 800mg of ibuprofen. It takes about 2.5 hours to fully kick in but then I'm good for 6-7 hours. At the 8 hour mark the spasms are back in full force and I repeat the medicine."

Robaxin (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm "Works for my neck and back muscle spasms, and seems to really help spasms in colon (I have microscopic colitis, which can feel like a wringer-washer inside), and maybe even helped settle down the esophagal spams. Started off with extra-strength, then as felt little better, switched to regular strength. Less side effects with lower dose. I already take a med with acetaminophen in it, so was happy to find a med that was straight robaxin, without the added acetaminophen."

For Muscle Spasm "After trying several medications for my fibromyalgia none of which did anything for my pain but Lyrica and is 700 dollars a month WITH my insurance...who can afford that?? I sat down with my doctor and cried...she suggested trying 750mg of methocarbamol every 4 hours along with 2mg Xanax twice a day. My doctor is a miracle worker...in the last 6 months I have been taking this medicine I have had 4 bad fibro days...instead of 8-15 a month... I can handle that!! I haven't had any side effects...the first 3 days i took it it did take a little getting used to...but have had zero issues."

For Muscle Spasm "I have fibromyalgia and additional pain from osteoarthritis. I work fulltime at a demanding professional job, and and taking opiates and/or muscle relaxants like cyclobenzaprine frequently is not an option - I need to be able to think. The fibro pain disappears when I take methocarbamol and it doesn't (seem to) affect my ability to think, nor does it make me sleepy. It works very well for me."

Robaxin (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm "Aggravated a herniated disc which resulted in sciatic pain down the back of one leg & for some reason a muscle in my right side...the side pain was with excruciating spasms, my back would seize up from one side across to the other side. Flexiril did nothing. Couldn’t take it so went to ER & Dr gave me a Torodol shot & 750 mg Robaxin...I slept from 1130 pm till 8:30 am, hadn't slept that long in probably 10 years...woke up pain was much less, but spasms started up a little so I took another at 12 pm started feeling a little dizzy & drowsy soon after so slept for about 5 hrs & at 8 pm was still drowsy. The pain was there, which I could deal with using 800 mg Motrin, but the spasms were gone. After reading about the 30 or so side effects, & spasms gone, I'm good. I won’t take anymore."

For Opiate Withdrawal "I have seen this medication work extremely well for all but a few, usually those who struggle with the intense depression which can be brought on by withdrawals. However although immodium is an excellent diarrhea reliever, be careful of how much, how often, and for how long of an extended period of time you use this drug. It is one of the least known (and yes, safest) opioids, but it IS an opioid still, and as such, while it generally does not penetrate the blood brain barrier, does a host of work with the receptors in your gut. At the end of the day, one thing is clear: this drug too, can cause significant withdrawals if used for too long an extended period of time."

Robaxin-750 (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm "I have taken Robaxin 750 in place of my usual dose of MS Contin at night and I’m able to get a full night of good sleep without waking up in pain and without the painful Charlie horses I was getting in my calves and feet because of compression on my nerve roots. Robaxin is the only muscle relaxer I can tolerate - has no side effects for me at all. Best of all - skipping that PM does of morphine is really good! When I first took Robaxin three years ago for back spasms it seemed to NOT work for me, I don’t know what changed, but I’m happy that it’s working now - especially that it can be used as a replacement for my PM opiate. Very happy with it. Always consult your Dr. first."

For Opiate Withdrawal "I’m shocked! I’m withdrawing from fentanyl/oxy/hydros and I took 1200mg of Robaxin and not only did it take the symptoms away, I feel normal and energized with no urge to use at all. It’s only been an hour or so but so far it’s been incredible. Just a little bit of a runny nose. I’m glad I found this!!!"

Robaxin (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm "Prolonged virus (5+ days) caused the worst fibromyalgia flare-up I've had in 10 years. My symptoms worsened with each day that passed: deep, all-over body aches; swollen & inflamed joints; stomach pain with intestinal cramping. Not to be gross, but I had constant flatulence and loose bowel movements. I worried that taking Robaxin 500 mg with Lyrica 225 mg would be too sedating...what if there was an emergency, and I couldn't respond to save my disabled son & myself? My doctor assured me that I could react to a smoke detector or help him if he had a seizure...but not to drive. Within two hours of taking both meds, I felt the tension slowly leaving my muscles; I fell asleep & woke up to a sound outside; was able to go back to sleep quickly. Still have a dull headache and widespread pain, but no "hangover" feeling. I think Advil 400 mg can get me through my day. I hope the Robaxin will help me to get sufficient relief & sleep to return to work in two days."

Robaxin-750 (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm "I fell and fractured my shoulder back in March. I was originally given Flexeril 10mg did nothing, went back for more tests found out I have 2 extra cervical ribs and thoracic outlet syndrome. Robaxin 750mg 3x's a day doesn't really help me either. My pain level is a consistent 7 makes it hard to sleep."

For Muscle Spasm "Injured my back on Sunday night, was in severe pain, next morning so severe I could hardly get out of bed, after moving around with great pain and managed to get comfortable in a chair without moving, Daughter in law suggested I try a generic Robazin, was very reluctant as I don't normally take drugs let alone pain killers, but finally took the recommended 2 large tablets with water and within 1/2 hour I was practically pain free all day. I took the recommended doses for 2 days only and my back is vastly improved. Fantastic product."

For Muscle Spasm "Have periodic spasms, mostly in back up through neck causing severe headaches. Not sure why but my body hurts like it does when you have the flu. Medicine not only took away pain but relaxed me. Only side effect was loss of appetite. Allergic to NSAIDs...ate Tylenol like M&Ms. Feel great on this and am able to be active."

Robaxin (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm "I have three herniated discs C4-C7, cervical kyphosis, spinal stenosis and am taking robaxin 500mg twice a day along with MS Contin 15mg ER. I've been on soma and Valium for my muscle spasms related to the kyphosis. I was just put on Robaxin by a new pain management doctor. It doesn't do anything to help my muscle spasms. I'm very disappointed with this medicine. I've been on flexeril and skelaxin but those didn't work for me either. I can't take baclofen because I have epilepsy. I'm hoping my pain management doctor will let me just get back on the soma so I can get some relief from my awful muscle spasms."

Robaxin-750 (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm "I just had a two level lumbar fusion two weeks ago and have severe muscle spasms that started up a couple of days ago. When I needed the Robaxin to work, it's like taking a placebo. I've called the surgeons office for another option as this is not going to work for me."

Robaxin-750 (methocarbamol) for Muscle Spasm "I use Robaxin for muscle spasms in my lower back. When I feel a slight twinge I take a 750 mg caplet and 800 mg ibuprofen .. if I catch it quickly it really helps control the pain . I take one every 4-6 hours for several days it definitely helps me."

For Muscle Spasm "I've been using methocarbamol for many years for my I suffer from fibromyalgia, arthritis, stenosis and pinched, bulging nerves and it helps. I don't feel any side effects and it is not addictive. I only take it when ibuprophen doesn't work. I can also take them together. I have to be consistent with it in order to feel relief. It is not a miracle drug. It does help with the spasms."
