Orphenadrine for Muscle Spasm "Taking this medication was totally not for me. I have suffered anxiety all my life, but it’s controlled on medication, but when I was prescribed this, my anxiety was next level. I’ve never felt so horrible in all my life. I was irritable, nauseous, fidgety, felt like constant panic, tense, and didn’t help my condition at all. Obviously, everyone is different, but it’s not for me and I will never take this again."

For Muscle Spasm "Not all generic versions of orphenadrine agree with me. I have given instructions to my pharmacist to only provide one kind of generic. So maybe that is why others have not been helped by this drug. This muscle relaxer works very well for me when I am in a bad flare-up of pain. I have rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and degenerative neck and spine, also sciatic pain. Pain all over. I only use it when absolutely necessary along with tramadol or diclofenac - the only meds I use for pain. No dizziness nor nausea or creepy side effects. My Medicare Advantage plan will not pay for it. I pay out of pocket. The pain specialist who prescribed it to me is retired now, so I cannot get a script for it. I am seeing another pain doctor next week and hope they will RX it for me."

For Muscle Spasm "6 days of 2 pills a day, and it ended me in the hospital with extreme vomiting, nausea, swollen feet, dizziness. Eventually, a stomach ulcer was found. 5 days in the hospital, lost 5 kgs over a week, now 51 kgs. I would never recommend it to anyone."

For Migraine "I was prescribed this for my migraines and slight muscle spasms. The first day after taking it, I was having frequent urination, dry mouth, dizziness, nausea, hot flashes, and confusion. I continued taking it for 7 days, but the side effects became worse. Nausea turned to vomiting. Eyes became so blurry I couldn't read anymore. My arms and face started getting tremors, and I was having pressure in my face. I started getting extreme episodes of anxiety. I discontinued the medication, and everything has slowly gotten better. It's been about 11 days, and I still am dealing with the nausea, but everything else has almost gone away. Just nausea and tremors still remain."
