2 | muscle spasms/tmj/neck pain | i don't think its doing anything at all! good or bad...nothing! | been taking for week now..but about to stop as i dont notice it doing anything! no relief, no drowsiness, no side effects, NOTHING!!! I think the manufacturer is giving out placebos! | M | 40 | 7 days 2X day | 6/25/2012 | 1 | extreme back pain | Severe allergic reaction - rash, dizziness (unable to walk without assistance), slurred speech, numerous grand mal seizures, vomiting, intense headache (concussion from seizures), difficulty reading, unable to write own name. | Writing for my daughter. She's in hospital 5 days now and still having grand mal seizures and other symptoms described above. | F | 34 | 10 days 1X day | 5/21/2012 | 1 | lower back pain | did not relive my spasams but also it seems like i lost tract of time like a zombie type feeling | M | 48 | 4 days 500 4xd 1X day | 3/16/2012 | 1 | back pain | Headache. Tingling all over my body. Anxiety. It did not work | F | 33 | 3 days 750mg | 3/1/2012 | 4 | help me sleep w/ fibromyalgia | slight stomach upset after about 30 min, and the pills taste gross. | I take Robaxin at night to help me relax and sleep better to help with fibromyalgia pain. If I am awake for more than 30 min after I take it, it makes my stomach a little upset. It relaxes me without making me drowsy, which is great. I took Flexeril before, but it just gave me dry mouth so I'm glad to have found something that works. | F | 23 | 8 months 500 mg 1X day | 6/14/2011 | 5 | muscle spasms | no side effects | It worked great and relaxed my muscles without making me drowsy, | F | 59 | 5 days 3X day | 6/9/2011 | 4 | neck pain/muscle spasm | none | I was prescribed Flexeril for an extremely painful muscle spasm in my neck. Took that for 3 days and it did absolutely NOTHING except make me very, very sleepy. So, I was sleepy and still in excruciating pain. Switched to Robaxin and after one dose my pain was reduced by about 50%, and without the extreme drowsiness that Flexeril caused. The pain is not completely gone yet (physical therapy will take care of the rest), but this drug is definitely helping! | F | 39 | 2 days 500mg 1X AN | 6/3/2011 | 4 | muscle tension | Great drug it relaxes me. does not cause me to get tired. In a low dosage its very pleasant. sometimes I hurt worse though cause after I take it muscles seems to hurt a little worse from gettting the relaxation.I like it better than soma, It gets along better with my anti-anxiety med. | F | 36 | 5 days 375 1X day | 5/23/2011 | 4 | TMJ OR SLEEP APNEA | NONE | I DIDNT WAKE UP WITH HEADACHES BUT I COULDNT SLEEP, THE TENTION IN NECK SHOULDER AND BACK WAS GONE FOR A FEW HOURS. FOR THE MOST PART I THINK ITS GOOD FOR PAIN!!! | F | 46 | 3 weeks 500 1X day | 1/4/2011 | 5 | Chronic CRPS-RSD, Lyme Disease | Heat sensations occasionaly | My daughter said to tell you that this med has helped her spasms in her legs and the pain in her neck and back alot, along with taking Motrin 600mgs.Due to the RSD/Lyme pain it was so unbearable and pain medication alone was not working. It is a constipating med so milk of mag tablets and stool softners are a must. | F | 22 | 3 years 750mgs 6X day | 11/29/2010 | 1 | Neck pain, Muscle spasms | Worse muscle spasms, worse neck pain, terrible anxiety, increased heart rate, high blood pressure, worse right eye pain, dizziness, confusion. | M | 33 | 10 days 750 2X day | 11/22/2010 | 1 | post-surgery | Intense anger, everything pissed me off, dissociation. | M | 37 | 60 days don't reca 2X day | 11/5/2010 | 1 | Extreme stomach pain, liquid discharge during bowel movement, flatulence, general malaise. | Too bad it didn't work. I wanted to use if for very bad muscle spasms. | F | 65 | 4 days 4X day | 5/2/2010 | 2 | shoulder surgery | headache, sinus infection, bad reaction when combined with alcohol | This med gave me headaches. Do not combine it with even the smallest bit of alcohol. I had two small margaritas and got the most painful sinus headache that lasted for days. I ended up in docs office with a sinus infection. Doc said robaxin can be very hard to tolerate. | F | 33 | 2 weeks | 10/24/2009 | 1 | back injury | Double vision & lack of coordination | It just didn't work. The double vision left me incapable of doing anything productive and I had no alleviation of my symptoms. | F | 45 | 3 days | 10/20/2009 | 5 | Acute lumbar sprain, L4 L5 | None, so far. | I have been Rx'd this drug (750mg strength) for two different episodes of acute lumbar sprains in the same location; I have also gone through episodes of lumbar sprains in the same location without this drug. Each time I used Robaxin, the length of my recovery time was shortened and the amount of pain/stiffness/decreased mobility I went through during recovery was noticeably lessened (compared to my experiences without the drug and with all other things I do during a sprain being the same such as wearing lumbar support, icing the area to help reduce inflammation, and getting chiropractic help). Not sure if it is due to the drug, but before I was ever Rx'd this drug, my multiple episodes of lumbar trouble were very close together over a period of about 6-8 months. After recovery from the first episode where I used Robaxin (1 pill at night for 30 days), it was well over a year and a half before I had another sprain. I was given Vicodin in addition to Robaxin with my most recent sprain (the worst sprain I've had so far too)-- honestly, I think the effects of the Robaxin are much better than anything the Vicodin was supposed to contribute to my recovery (I quit Vicodin after 2 days). This time I used 1 Robaxin pill every 8 hours for the first 4 days, then I dropped to 1 pill in am/1 pill before bed -- I plan to drop to 1 pill before bedtime as soon as possible...whatever it takes to avoid re-spraining that area until everything is really healed up. | F | 48 | 9 days | 9/20/2009 | 5 | muscle pain from ehlers danlos | none. Sometimes it makes me sleey if I take it with my antiinflammatory | I've used it for years and it never affected my daytime activities. I taught elementary school when taking this. Now I work at home and still use it. Works better over time -- it's no magic bullet. But combined with a good pain medication, the combination is aweome and boy do I sleep good on those nights! | F | 53 | 10 years | 1/23/2009 | 4 | severe TMJ | none | so glad I can take it with all the other meds I have to take. What a relief for me. | F | 58 | 4 days | 11/29/2008 | 2 | Acute lumbar strain | None | I was told this medication was to be combined with heat, rest, and physical therapy. It worked with the spasms for about the first three days and now it does nothing. I was taking the 750 dose. Even two tablets don't help the pain. | F | 20 | 30 days | 11/2/2008 | 5 | Lower back pain | None | Stopped working after about 18 months - damn! | M | 63 | 1.5 days | 10/18/2008 |
