I took this years ago and still remember the name since I had such a terrible experience. I could not get out of bed because the room was spinning so bad, to point I got motion sickness. I tolerate most meds, but parafon forte is a name I will never forget.
This drug has helped by back pain incredibly. It does not last as long as I would like, only about 5-6 hours, but it does help with the pain tremendously.
this medication has helped some with my muscle stiffness.i have been taking it on and off for several years.
the medication is working well. I am having less or not as many muscle spasms. any side effects or any other side effects so far!.
I have Dystonia .. this is one of the few things that has helped relieve my symtoms..I take it as needed not daily.
Help stop the headaches and muscle and joint aches.
chronic low back pain and spasms
This med has relaxed my horrible muscle spasms better than anything...even diazepam(Valium)! I have taken pain meds w/muscle relaxers for years for herniated discs and spurs from neck to tailbone. I take the generic. I'm so happy to have it!
This stuff made me sicker than a dog. Headache and upset stomach. It was just like being at sea and being sea sick.
THE GENERIC BRAND DOES NOT WORK AT ALL FOR ME MUST TAKE NAME BRAND WORKS GOOD
Makes me tired and I can't really tell how much it is helping
2 st and 1 bid
This med was prescribed for my husband, but as a nurse (for 18yrs) I have never seen such an unusual reaction. He had hallucinations for 4 days, didnt recognize any loved ones, or even knew he was in his own home. He fell at least 4 times - that I saw - that required a trip to the emergency room. He cracked two ribs and had a small crack to a vertebra. He had a somewhat nasty-looking lump to his head that bled lightly, but luckily suffered no permanent danger to his skull or brain. I know other people who take this same med with no noted side effects at all, but if its a first-time use for you, be careful and try to have a loved one around to monitor you in case this drug affects you in the same way as my husband. My husband is an example of a small number of people who have opposite, even violent reactions to mild medications; so chances are this will not happen to you. However, better safe than sorry. I had to repeatedly keep him away from the gas stoves in our home until that 4 day nightmare had run its course!
2 tabs every 6 hrs not effective/ trying 3 every four hours seems to do better. condition: muscle spams from bulging disc 5th lumbar vert.
this med made me end up in the hosp and serval days in icu because it made me have a bad cresure also i lost some of my memorie and my speech is messed up from this med
This muscle relaxant is the most effective I've tried, with the least drastic side effects. It can make you a little dizzy or woozy and maybe a slight headache, but not bad enough to stop taking them. I'm a 13 year fibromyalgia sufferer and muscle spasms were 1 of my first symptoms, so I've tried a lot of things. If you take them in conjunction with a pain pill, I suggest taking them 30 mins apart. I don't know the mfr name of them, but the green hexagonal ones work better than the white caplets made by Watson. This is an older medicine, so Drs don't automatically prescribe them. You should ask for this brand. To me, they're proven effective and safe.
Muscle Spasm due to Stress
I have had chronic low back pain for 40+ years. Many years ago I was prescribed this medication. It was so helpful! It did make me sleepy so I started using half a caplet, which worked well. Now, I use the generic occasionally as needed, and often only take a quarter caplet, which gives relief! So one bottle lasts a long time. The fraction of the dose is amazing, without sleepiness or other negative effect.
