User Reviews for methocarbamol oral

Taking for neck spasm and headaches. Didn't seem to make a difference at all. I have been on other muscle relaxers like tizandine and flexeril that have made me too drowsy but this didn't seem to have any effect at all.

I take 200mgGabapentin/Neurontin x/day and 'herbals' for chronic back nerve pain and Norinyl 1 35 for fibroid control and was given Methocarbamol 500mg (2 every 4-6hrs,I'm sensitive so I started with 1 about 30min ago and about to take another one) to help with the inflammation issues since otc wasn't cutting it. I'll definitely be reporting back in 24hrs. Unfortunately I'm in New Orleans and tomorrow's Mardi Gras....gotta work 4hrs, so we'll see, oh and I have those Hydrocodones 5mg(I have a 7.5 leftover I'll be using tomorrow ð???ð??¬ð???ð??®ð???ð??­ð???ð??±ð??¿ð??ºð???ð??¶ð??µð??¤ð??£ð??¸ð??°ð??ð?·ð??ð??ð??ð??ð?­ð?¨ð?£ð???ð???ð???ð??¥ð???ð??¨Read More Read Less

When I took the first dose the only side effect I noticed was pain in right wrist. It wasn't there before I took this med. Then pain in ankle which wasn't there before.Three hours later I also started noticing a feeling of warmth in my right shoulder.I also felt nausea and stomach discomfort. When I took the second dose at night I started noticing body chills and body jerking so I turned up the furnace even though it was only 50 degrees outside that kinda stopped it.Then I went to bed when I woke up at around 5AM to use the bathroom. I was so dizzy and lightheaded and I couldn't walk straight. When I was standing still I felt like I couldn't stand still because it felt like the whole room was spinning. I almost fell if I didn't hold on to the wall I would've fell. Every time I walked I felt I was going to either bump into the wall or fall. I I'm going to stop taking this medication and stick to Tylenol. My spasms weren't that bad after I had the spinal stenosis surgery 5 weeks ago. After taking the second dose I felt spasms in my legs and in my lower back.Just like before I had surgery. Isn't this stuff suppose to stop spasms and pain? Well it did control my neck and upper back a little bit but the side effects really scares me. But it didn't control spams which was minor or nonexistent.In fact it gave me more spasms. I'm gonna call my doctor tomorrow and considering calling the FDA on Tuesday. Read More Read Less

I had multiple side effects from using this drug. Including dizziness, fatigue, and vertigo. I definetly do not suggest driving while on this medication from personal experience I almost wrecked my car. It does dull the pain, but only for a short amount of time.

This medicine has seemed to be about the only thing that has helped me

I just started this medicine today. I have only taken two doses. I was prescribed 750mg 1) 4 times a day. We will see how it works tonight. If I don't get any sleep I will be an unhappy person. I will update later.

I was given this after suffering from a spine strain which resulted in muscle spasms throughout my back and legs. After taking this medication, it worked for one day, but then stopped being effective. Luckily there were no bad side effects

This medication worked for me right away. No other muscle relaxer has ever done at much for me.

It stops and keeps back spasms away. I never have side effects. I take 3 500mg every 4 to 6 hours when I've pulled my back out. I'll then take for about 6 weeks, or until better.

Thank God for this medicine. Makes me light headed here and there but it has been better than taking ibuprofen every few hrs. Use it once in a while with excedrin no more than 1000 mg per day. Totally worth it.

I dont know what I would do without it and my heating pad. TyJ

I have had lower back pain/spams/arthritus/etc for 20 years. Have done physical therapy, chiropractic, massage therapy, you name it ... NOTHING helps but time. I had an attack this week and the ER dr put me on this. It stops the spasms for only ONE hour and then they are back. I'm reading that it's ok to take more than one. I need some sleep. I haven't slept in 2 days!

This pill did wonders for me by stopping the spasms in my side. I was prescribed this for a strained lumbar L-1, this pill made me feel so much better. Some cons, I did experience loss of appetite and severe stomach cramps once and from there on my stomach stays in knots. Constipation is also something I'm experiencing as a result. Headaches are also amplified, I woke up with an excruciating one last night. I sleep exceptionally well with this medication. To sum it up, when it's good it's great, when it's bad hang in there. It DOES help but for some reason it puts my stomach in knots that make me want to gag.Read More Read Less

DOESN'T WORK

helps neck pain, spasms

How a pulled muscle under right shoulder blade doc says 1 6 times a day did not work I'M A FARMER AND UP MAKE HAY WHEN THE SUN IS SHINNING If I take about 2 every 3 to 4 hours I can stand it with no side effect .Wondering how long I can take then with no serious effect ( been taking then for a few months now) Pain pills work pretty good but don't want to get hooked on them either anybody got any ideals thanks

Started gagging this medication down in March of 2015, my pharmacy (Walmart)has 2 suppliers, both make the same non coated pill. If it even touches the back of your tongue you will be chasing something, anything to get the taste out of your mouth, OMG it is so nasty. I have had 6 spinal surgeries over the course of 25 years and this is by far the worst medication I have ever taken as far as taste. It does a moderate job of relaxing muscles and a very poor job of stopping muscle spasms. I take a prescribed dose of several medications to treat muscle spasms and I take non prescribed supplements, pot and mag to try and stop the spasms. If you have had spams in your feet and calves, upper back, lower back you know how painful and how hard to stop the spams can be once they start. Good luck to anyone taking this medicine. I go back to see my pain management doctor and my surgeon next month and I will be asking for them to change this to anything else. Read More Read Less
