| 3 | Chest wall pain | At first- side effects were minimal in the beginning. . However. .. after a few to several days/times of taking this medicine, I started to have strange anxiety and felt fatigue, and it worsened a neck issue that I have, but probably because I have an existing condition. | It helped with the chest wall pain, that's the only reason I was prescribed it . But I have an existing movement disorder and robaxin actually worsened my shoulder pain, temporarily while I was on robaxin. | F | 28 | 24 days 750 mg | 8/22/2017 | 1 | sciatica | severe muscle pain that has not stopped after stopping med--still increasing, chills, severe pain in foot that went away within six hours of stopping, tingling in legs and feet, loss of appetite, weird dreams | didn't help the sciatica, caused lots of other problems | M | 69 | 2 days 2X day | 8/4/2017 | 4 | Sciatica | Taking 1000mg every six hours.

I have gotten 3 days of total relief from the excruciating pain. | This is an excellent med, short term. I'm going to try to reduce the dosage to 3 times per day as I don't want to become dependent. I'm going to have an epidural in 2 days and hope that helps. I know I may need more than one injection but it's worth trying. I don't want to take meds more than absolutely necessary. | F | 74 | 4 days 750mg 4X day | 5/17/2016 | 5 | arthritis, nerve damage, back pain | Groggy | At first didn't care for it tablet too large got off it.

This medication didn't work on me but it could have been due to the severity of my pain and injury. | F | 41 | 4 days | 2/20/2016 | 4 | Cervical spine surgery | Robaxin generic brand mostly made me relaxed and sleepy when I was taking half the pill. I was also taking this medicine in conjunction with hydrocodone 5–325. I never took a whole pill because I felt the dosage was a bit high. I also noticed an increase in blood pressure roughly a little less then 150/100 on average, and some head pains. That could've also been due to the pain after surgery and stress, so can't guarantee that. Overall by taking half of that pill every four hours on a routine basis over the past four days it has helped with the pain and the muscle spasm's from surgery. This medicine Rx had replaced a 5 mg dose of Valium 2 times a day after surgery. I did notice this medicine at the half dose of 375 mg gave me heartburn made my Gerd worse. I cannot verify what the entire dose of 750 mg would do because I never took one whole pill at one time. My medicine was not a time release medicine therefore I can break mine up and have half a pill every four hours without a problem. Total dose a day was 750 mg three times a day. | I had no major side effects from it except for maybe the heartburn, and drowsiness was the most noted in conjunction with this medicine at 375 mg dose. Taking this medicine within an hour of hydrocodone made the drowsiness increase. I will be on this medication for two weeks. | F | 41 | 4 days 750 | 1/31/2016 | 5 | Fibromyalgia | Helped significantly with acute muscle spasms with pain. | Also very effective (acutely) for insomnia and generalized anxiety | F | 46 | 14 days 750MG 3X day | 12/22/2015 | 2 | upper back pain | None | None | M | 53 | 6 days 500 3x a d | 12/14/2015 | 3 | Neck, back, arm, and shoulder pain, | Gas, stomach aches, makes my GERD worse basically and adds gas really bad at times. | It does seem to help some. Before it I was on Flexeril not sure why the doctor switched it, but I think it works a little better however I take it more often and a way higher dose. | M | 35 | 2 months 750 MG 4X | 10/22/2015 | 5 | Back spin pain | A little bit l'aviation the first night but it helped me sleep does help my back pain | F | 45 | 10 days 350 | 10/13/2015 | 1 | Neck surgery | After a month belching dizziness memory loss.
