I strongly dislike this medicine. Even after taking it my spasms still occur frequently. Im thinking of just not taking it. If anything, my muscle spams started occurring more. I don’t want to go to the doctor again because I’m scared they’re going to prescribe me something else that does the same thing as this. I barely started having muscle spasms a few weeks ago at random , i thought one prescription of muscle relaxers would clear it up. Well it didn’t, and now I feel I have a more serious condition. Even though my CT scan and EKG came back and they said there’s nothing wrong, I think something is up. Im not taking this anymore out of fear it will induce more severe problems. They just prescribe you medicine without even being 100% sure of the problem. Probably because I didn’t have insurance. As of now I’m just going to stick to a strict vegetarian diet, pray to god, and hope that helps. Please be careful what you put into your body, and don’t just do it because the doctor thought it would help. I don’t have problems while out doing stuff. It’s more of when I’m in a still position. So that’s that, I’m done. What’s worse it is trying to go to medical school. I hope this didn’t just effect me in a more worse way that could jeapordize my mental health or vision or anything. Im a 28 year old male, turn 29 March 24 and its February 28, played soccer my whole life until s about 2 years ago. Anyway, Hope you guys get better. And whoever this drug helped, glad it was able to benefit you in a good way. God bless.
I have DDD and now 2 herniated discs at L4-L5-S1. I don’t normally use any medications except Tylenol or Motrin. I started taking this muscle relaxer because frankly I could not walk or sit without severe pain and discomfort. This pill seems to help enough that I’m not in tears when I move. This pill is not a pain management pill by any means, and I don’t take it as one. I stopped use before refilling my prescription, and I definitely can feel a benefit of its use. I found without it, I could barely move. Only side effect I have is constipation.
I am researching whether others have experienced severe muscle weakness to the point they can't move from this medication. I recently had an Interbody spinal fusion L4-S1. I was prescribed 750mg of this medicine after taking it for 24hrs. I had become unable to move my body the pain was crippling. I ended up in the ER and nobody seemed to be able to figure out what was wrong with me. My blood pressure was incredibly low and I lost my voluntary motor skills. Everything was locked up. They said this medicine would never do this but after 16 hrs in the hospital, IV Tylenol, and a shot of Steriods the pain was gone and I got all my motor skills back. They wanted to give me the Robaxin IV and I said hell no. They seemed to believe it was impossible that this would cause it but I have no other explanation. Every test from CT to MRI came back normal. I am just looking to see if anyone has ever experienced this.
If you have or had anxiety / panic attacks this will cause them to start up again. Starts the next day and first you feel a flushing. Then when in a waking state from sleeping you get the panic. I am so angry this caused it to start up again. I took this med for 2 days low dose for a back injury. Did nothing for the pain at all.
Taking this for auto accident with a dislocated shoulder as well as c5/c6 damage. This is by far the worst medication I have yet to take for the spasms in my neck. I’ve tried the maximum dose and literally feels like a placebo pill. My doctor switched me to Carisiprodol and has been the best experience despite making you a little groggy for an hour however I would take that then the robaxin any day of the week.
I have been dealing with back pain for over a year due to a ruptured disc. I was getting steroid and trigger point injections which only work for a brief period. I was in the hospital and the doctor put me on robaxin 500mg and with an hour of taking it noticed an incredible difference. For those who have muscle spasms that is contributing to their pain then robaxin works. No nausea (which for me is a miracle in itself) and it does not make me sleepy during the day, but does help me relax at bedtime. Give it an honest try. I was very surprised. I know that it is difficult to find an online store, so I will advise where I buy Robaxin https://tlabc.link/76f372df96
Cervical root compression/ spasm s: MVA Most helpful medication following many months of severe pain.
I have extreme muscle spasms in my hip do to an injury. This medicine didn't work for me at all. It didn't touch the pain or spasm. It also made me very sluggish. I am a chef and can't afford to be this sluggish
Has been a miracle drug for me after epipen allergic reaction to esi, several disc problem etc
Was prescribed Robaxin after an auto accident with damaged C3-C7 and remained on Robaxin event post-op. Never really thought it helped much with easing the pain, only thing it did was make me sleepy and relaxed but the pain remained.
Purely by accident I stumbled on this medication for control of my spasmodic dysphonia and have taken 750 mg daily for four years now. It is the only relief I have found and it continues to solve that problem without any adverse effects. (PS, I am a Speech Pathologist and SD was very troubling in my daily work.)
Started taking it for a muscle strain/spasm. Does not work at all. Same thing happened with the other muscle relaxers. I am a healthy twenty something female. Legitimately nothing works. Maybe my body just metabolizes it too quickly or something.

I began taking robaxin 2 years ago for muscle spasms in my neck. I'm a healthy middle-aged male. I was told to take it with ibuprofen. No help at all. I definitely would not recommend this muscle relaxer.
I have bulging disc in thoracic area on my back. After 4 months of pain, 21 physical therapy appt., and Vicodin 3 times a day my doctor prescribed Robaxin. I've been 6days on it and its wonderful! No more Vicodin, sleeping all night again and 6hr. Work days.loving it.
I have multiple herniated discs, Degenerative disc disease (DDD), and multiple bone spurs along with arthritis and osteoarthritis thru-out my spine. I have been taking narcotic pain meds for years. I have also done PT in yrs past with little improvement, although I do incorporate some of the more effective methods daily. Due to all of this I have a lot of muscle spasms, especially in my neck and sciatic. Flexeril was never effective but I have been on methocarbamol 750mg now for almost a yr and have found that it does seem to help without any side effects other then sleepiness.
I didn't have enough time to see if this medicine worked for me since it gave me blurry vision. I tried it twice to make sure it was the med causing it and it was. I don't think it made me tired at all but I couldn't function with the eye problem.
My Dr suggested & prescribed this when I expressed a deep desire to get off of Somas*!* This med works perfectly for me with NO side effects. But my insurance refuses to pay for it anymore. They send me a reason why not, which is THE EXACT reason tis being prescribed & nothing My DR nor I say will change their mind. I even changed insurances only to have the same thing happen. Does anyone have any idea why? Or how I can get help in getting my scrips paid for? Unfortunately, Phiser does make this, however ONLY in Canada, otherwise no problem*!*
4 years ago, I found out I have a brain tumor, which is benign as of yet. The tumor is located in an area where they can't operate without doing major harm, and could easily be fatal. The tumor is located on the left side of my head, and is surrounded by nerves, which causes ABSOLUTE DEBILITATING PAIN, to the point where I cannot even move, and their is nothing the doctors can do right now to take the pain away. So, I am on a lot of different medications to ease some of the pain. Robaxin really helps by calming the muscles in my head and face. I really like this medication, it's helped me a great deal, and it isn't too expensive compared to some of the other meds like it. I definitely recommend it to anyone who struggles with severe muscle spasms/pain. It really has been great for me.
