User Reviews for methocarbamol oral

It doesn't touch the pain.

been on about two weeks and my muscle spasms are still going strong.not much relief

At first, a single 500mg dose was enough to knock me out for over an hour, but quickly built a tolerance even with taking only one a day. Now same dose makes me drowzy, but does little to nothing to releive pain assoc. w/ muscle spasms

it doesn't work as well as some others i've taken in the past.

I've ruptured and herniated my L3,L4 and L5 over a period of 29 yrs. Injuries occurred during a 20 yr. active U.S.army service. The medication worked fine for minor pain. However, over time degenerative disk disease set in and the severe occurrences of pain (nearly ambulatory}were relieved with tramadol and sometimes the oxy category of medication.

I have used this medication for Fibromyalgia and Degenerative Disc Disease. It has saved me from having to have surgery. I find it as effective as some medications with narcotics.

I was in a car accident and was prescribed methocarbamol in addition to vicodin to relieve my recurring muscle spasming. I ended up taking the vicodin with ibuprofen since this medication seemed to do nothing for my muscle spasms. However, I was prescribed to take only one 750mg tablet at a time. I now see that a lot of people take an initial dose of 1500mg and then another tablet every 4 hours. Perhaps that makes a difference.

This medication has helped me tremdously when I have my back spasms. For me, it doesn't upset my stomach nor I have been dizzy with nor does it make me sleepy.

I have Fibromyalgia (with extreme muscle spasms)and degenrative disc disease in the cervical and lumbar spine. It is the first medication that has markedly relieved the muscle spasms. It does cause a bit of drowsiness, but not enough to keep me from functioning normally. I take 2 (750mg) at night along with 3 OTC pain relievers,and wake up almost pain free. I usually take them one hour before bed, 30 minutes apart. During the day, if I need to, I take them one hour apart to keep from being too drowy. None of the narcotics I have ever used did this for me. Plus, I don't feel lethargic, nor do I necessarily need to lie down when I take them. That is great for me.Read More Read Less

TORTICOLLIS AND COMPRESSED C-4, C-5 FORM BAD AUTO ACCIDENT IN 2004. WORKS WELL WITH A MILD PAIN RELIEF RX LIKE LORATAB 5/500. TOGETHER BOTH RELIEVE MY ANOYING SPASMS AND RIGHT NECK/SHOULDER PAIN.

My Dr. prescribed this for my lower back pain after Flexeril made me too sick & drowsy. Was told that this was milder and would not have those effects... WRONG! Within 20 minutes I was dizzy and had an upset stomach, went to lay down and was knocked out for over 2 hours. It did nothing for my pain and I was groggy and had upset stomach for 7 hrs. after taking just 1 pill.

This medication does not help take away any of my pain or helps me in any way.

This Particular Muscle Relaxer has been more affective for my chronic back pain than any other I have been Perscribed.

A question for anyone who has used this drug & has epilepsy...any increase in seizure activity?

I have tmj and it causes neck and shoulder pain. Benn on it for about a year now and it help wonderfuly its the only one i can take that doesnt make me sleepy.The only thing is i have lost weight dont know if it is from the drug or not.

3disc in my neck sitting on top of each other. Does not do much for relief. Been on for 3 months.

Suffer with back muscle spasms since 2002. Doctor gave me this medication for 1 week trial period. I have exprienced a complete spasm relief in the first two day. Praying she keeps me on them

3herniated discs, scoliosis in upper and lower back,bursitis,age,woman. This was my choice to work with percocet-presurgery.Few meds keep pain under 6-7/10, but a careful blend allows better flexibility.Must keep walking for the LBP etc, stop walking for the bursitis.Water walking still best with careful lean on meds.Attentive doctor inte- gral part of plan. Find out max about meds even when they work. Suspicions about chronic pain meds is warranted, yet we need meds for chronic AND careful introduction for acute "breakthroughs". My regime: percocet for pain, methocarbamol 500 for occasional muscle tension/strain,IBUprofen 600 for inflammation. Prepare to be tired all the time, eating becomes a chore,watch BMs occur every day (prunes are my new best fruit-friend), food with or after meds. Get out of the house,bath and dress for walk as often as you can. IF depression occurs, ask your doctor for a drug with less side effects for the occasional needs.Make a quality decision to live and do so to the best of your ability...even if house or bed-bound. Be very careful to KNOW what you are inhaling for pain...there are a lot of options. Keep going!!Read More Read Less
