For Muscle Spasm "I have very good luck with this as a pain reliever, but the muscle relaxant part works a little too well. I mean, a 500mg pill will knock me out for 18 hours, and 1000-1500 mg is the recommended daily dose. I have recently been taking 1/4 dose (125mg) about 2 hours before bed, and it still knocks me out for at least 12 hours. Then I wake up in the morning with hangover-like symptoms, light and sound sensitivity, splitting headache, dry mouth. On the plus side, at least I sleep."

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 and 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 and 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 and woke up to a sound outside; I 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 and sleep to return to work in two days."

For Muscle Spasm "I only took 175 mg of Robaxin, and about 30 minutes later, my heart was pounding out of my chest, and I had a throbbing headache. That lasted about 2 hours. I'm on other medications and checked for interactions with Zoloft, Lexapro, and Wellbutrin. Anybody experience the same or similar?"
