For Muscle Spasm "I have taken Methocarbamol for 20 years, and it's the only muscle relaxant I can take. It's the only one that doesn't have side effects for me. It's the best muscle relaxant I have ever taken, and I've tried all of them. I wish it wasn't so expensive though, and I can't figure out why it is. A lot more people would take it if it wasn't so expensive!! It doesn't cause drowsiness, headaches, blurred vision, or heart palpitations, and I don't have side effects from the other medicines I take, and I take some that are on the list that says side effects."

For Muscle Spasm "Have muscle spasms in lower back. I've been prescribed Flexeril, Soma, and now Robaxin 750mg 3 x a day, along with Vicoprofen 3 x day as well. So far so good! Works way better for me than Flexeril. Didn't like the sedative effects of Soma. Take this and rest, for me it does the trick."

For Muscle Spasm "On Christmas 2019, I was subjected to the Heimlich Maneuver after a piece of roast beef swallowed wrong caused me to choke and wheeze. I couldn't breathe. Luckily, there was a waiter who knew the Heimlich Maneuver. He saved me. Unfortunately, I ended up with extreme bruising and pain in my chest. X-rays determined I did not have any actual rib fractures. My doctor prescribed 750 mg tablets of Robaxin, taken 4 times a day. When I first took it, it made me rather groggy. That feeling lasted for a few hours. And it did upset my stomach somewhat. The Robaxin did not make my pain go away completely but lessened it enough so I could relax and feel fairly comfortable. The pain became an annoyance rather than agony. My health insurance plan didn't cover it, and I'm sure the side effects will lessen as I get used to having the medication in my system."

For Muscle Spasm "I liked that I had no drowsiness on the medication. It only helped with mild back spasms, not moderate or severe spasms. I loved that it did help with gastrointestinal spasms and diarrhea due to Crohn's disease."
