For Muscle Spasm "I began taking this after suffering an extremely painful hamstring injury, which rendered me virtually unable to walk or even sit comfortably, and it put me out of work for a few miserable weeks. It doesn't stop the pain completely, but it makes it much more manageable. I can take a couple of these and make it through the day. I recommend mixing it with ibuprofen, just be careful with the dosage. One 750 mg tablet and two 250 mg ibuprofen every 6 hours does the trick for me, but you should check with a doctor first. This isn't a magical pill that will fix you completely, but it definitely helps. The first day I took it, it had no noticeable effect on me, but the second day I felt much better, so it may take a few doses for your body to get used to it. It's no miracle pill, but it definitely helps."

For Muscle Spasm "This medication is the only one that gives flexibility to the top of my spine, where the spondylitis troubles me. The relief allows me to participate at a competitive level of pool and relieves the pain of the condition better than other significant analgesics I am prescribed. I cannot say I have suffered any side effects that have had any impact on me going about my daily business or normal activities. Overall, it is an effective drug and gives the relief I need when used as prescribed."

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."

"It is the best muscle relaxer I have ever used. I can take it at work, and it acts pretty fast. Working 12 hr shifts at a hospital and being on my feet, it's been a lifesaver."
