| 3 | muscle spasms aftr physical therapy | petit mal seizures (although I had been seizure free for 10 years) | It did decrease my muscle spasms after physical therapy. I began seeing colored light flashes after chemo & radiation (dec 2001), although I had 10 years of No seizures until last week. I took the skelaxin for 12 days with no side effect. I do have rather unusual medication side-effects that have occurred since my cancer treatments and I believe my problem was perhaps with the combination of skelaxin w/gabitril(an anti-convulsive). | F | 49 | 21 days | 2/28/2003 | 3 | Neck and shoulder muscle pain/spasm | Did not rest well at night; nodeep sleep. | F | 52 | 34 days | 2/18/2003 | 3 | Back, neck & ankle pains | Elevated blood pressure, sleeplisness, diareha | M | 74 | 3 days | 1/30/2003 | 3 | chronic back pain | was very disoriented for the first few days. had trouble concentrating. possibly due to combination of pain killers my dr. prescribed. worked most of the time for pain. | F | 18 | 25 days | 12/9/2002 | 3 | chronic back pain | F | 27 | 28 days | 10/1/2002 | 3 | shoulder muscle damage | sleepiness | using 400 mg. 3 times a day Dr. suggested increase to 800 mg. 3 times a day.
