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, the 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 "Do not take this drug. It made me ill after neck surgery. Read nih.gov about the terrible side effects around since 1957. I have my gallbladder surgery in March. I turned yellow, I had balance problems. Go to NIH.GOV to read about it. I couldn't remember what day it was. Memory loss is a big problem. The memory problem goes on after it, over 6 months for me. I couldn't sleep. It kept me awake at night, belching. Just awful."

For Muscle Spasm "Was prescribed Robaxin for muscle spasm after Vicodin failed to help. Although the Robaxin eliminated the muscle spasms, I had nausea, lack of appetite, and insomnia."

For Muscle Spasm "It made me want to crawl out of my own skin! Constant jumping legs and strange sensations all over my body. No sleep whatsoever. Maybe I am allergic."
