 1  muscle spasms in neck/shoulder crep Didn't help with pain, made me constipated and very upset stomach. I had trauma to my neck and shoulder to the point my muscles were stretched and out of place. In so much pain I couldn't move my arm above my head. I had a grinding feeling when I would move my arm at all. My doctor prescribed me a high dose which made me constipated and my stomach very upset and gassy. Needless to say I called and complained and they put me on flexeril. Doesnt make the pain go away but makes it bearable. A year ago I was addicted to opiates so I have a high tolerance regarding pain relief. F 24 1 weeks

 1  acute sciatica Bad taste in mouth and zero effective for pain. I called my doctors office and asked to switch to soma which I know was effective for pain when I took it many years ago. This may be effective on minimal pain sufferers but doesnt touch my particular pain level. (or else there is placebo effect) 2 days

 3  Back First couple times it made me tired. 3 back surgeries in 2 and 1/2 years. This drug worked for the first surgery but not after the 3rd. I'm my opinion its best results would be for someone with minimal spasms. If your having severe spasms and back issues font even accept it if the Dr tries to prescribe, ask for flexeril. M 32 10 days

 4  Lower back pain and sciatica Drowsiness and dysphoria when taken on an empty stomach. When taken with food, I did not notice any side effects. I injured my lower back about two weeks ago, and have had sciatic nerve pain and lower back pain ever since. Never been in so much pain! Went to the doc after one week. Doc said it's not a disc issue and that it will resolve in a few weeks. They recommended Motrin, which I told them I had been taking without relief. They gave me Robaxin to use in conjunction with my Motrin. Noticed relief the first night I took it! It's no miracle drug but does help if you are taking it for the right reasons. For people saying it doesn't help with pain: IT'S NOT A PAIN RELIEVER! It is a muscle relaxer! It relaxes muscles by depressing your CNS. Sometimes pain relief results from the muscle relaxation, but it is not a guarantee. In my particular case, it worked GREAT the first night... and has worked so-so since then. However, it is nice that I only experience the side effects when taken on an empty stomach. M 30 6 days
