| 2 | osteo in neck | I take this with Mobic and it doesn't seem to do the job..I want the good muscle relaxers. | F | 51 | 6 months | 9/1/2007 | 4 | Sleep | M | 39 | | 10/25/2006 | 4 | c-spine stenosis -> shoulder spasms | Minor drowsiness - not nearly as bad as Flexeril or Skelaxin. The pills taste very nasty, and the round flat 500 mg tabs are awkward to swallow. | I have used the NSAID + muscle relaxant combo to treat periodic flare-ups of muscle spasms due to degenerative bone spurs in my neck. The magic recipe for me seems to be 800 mg ibuprofen (Motrin) + 1000-1500 mg methocarbamol (Robaxin) three times a day. The other relaxants work OK (also tried Flexeril and Skelaxin), but they make me way too sleepy. | M | 47 | 10 years | 10/6/2006 | 5 | Fibro and CMP | A slight headache about an hour after I started taking it, but it faded fast. This is definitely a keeper. | This is way better than flexaril and doesn't make me sleepy like flexaril does. | F | 43 | 2 days | 10/5/2006 | 4 | TMJ | A little spacey. | I just started, but it seems to help the pain. | F | 55 | 1 days | 3/19/2006 | 4 | back pain | slight drowsiness | When I took flexeril in conjunction with my regular psychoactive drug, it caused horrible side effects so that I had to stop the flexeril. So I was a little leery of trying another muscle relaxant. I was prescribed 500 mg every 6 hours, but started at only 250 mg and got immediate relief with no negative side effects. Maybe it would be too mild for most people, but with the other meds i take I have to be careful. | M | 45 | 30 days | 10/4/2005 | 1 | Muscle Spasms Post Lumbar Fusion | Headache, Nausea, Motion Sickness, Dizzy/Lightheadness, Confusion, Trouble Remembering and Speaking Clearly, etc., etc., etc. | I started with one tablet, three times a day of the -750, then with side effects, but no relief. Increased to two tablets three times a day, with a little relief, but worse side effects. Side effects were not worth the little relief. | F | 24 | 2 weeks | 4/25/2005 | 4 | fibromyalgia | none | While it does take some time to get into your system, it does work. Nighttime, which is my worst time for pain, is when Robaxin works the best. | F | 33 | 2 months | 4/13/2005 | 1 | Pulled leg and back muscles | none | I took Robaxin for a while and it didn't do anything at all. | F | 14 | 2 weeks | 2/25/2005 | 1 | Carpal tunnel, tennis elbow | none | I took one 750 mg tablet and that didn't work so I took another. It still barely worked. I took a few courses of 2-750 mg tablets every 4 hours and it didn't do much for me. | F | 45 | 4 days | 1/29/2005 | 3 | M | 35 | 5 days | 8/24/2003 |
