User Reviews for methocarbamol oral

Was given this for lower back pain, after 2 days every joint in my body was swollen and so sore I could hardly move. Started in my upper joints, by the next day, my hips, knees and ankles (even toes) were so sore, swollen and weak I couldn't get out of bed. JUST SAY NOOOOO! What ever happened to Valium? Also nightmares, if I slept at all. After 2 days off of the med, the swelling slowly lessened, was sore for another 2 days. Don't risk it. As a caregiver for a man with MS and a grandmother raising her grand, it was a frightening and helpless not to mention DANGEROUS nightmare. I'll take the bad back anytime over this nightmare.Read More Read Less

I was give this drug to help with muscle spasms from a back injury. I have to take it when I try to go to sleep. It works great at stopping the spasms. However, I take multiple doses of morphine daily and the combination of the morphine and methocarbamol knocks me out for 8-12 hours, but then it takes another 4-6 hours to become fully awake and functional. I can only take it when the spasms are at their worst and I have no plans for the next day.

I strain my lower back and needed something after a 5 days of pain. This taste bad and is ineffective.

received this instaed of flexeril. have had lower back pain from herniated disk from car accident in 12/04. have used many meds, but none have performed as poorly as this one!

I had a laminectomy (cervical spine surgery)and was prescribed this. It worked wonderfully....at first. Now, it's just something that relaxes my mind.

When my doctor prescribed this for my occasional neck spasms it worked well. After my car accident he prescribed it again for my lower back pain. It was not as effective. As a short term fix for minor pain it is ok but for major pain from muscle strains it is almost useless.

I have Osteoarthritis, Fibromalgia, as well as several other severe medical conditions. This as well as other meds. were prescribed to help with pain, since I began to refuse any more narcotic treatment. I have been taking this every four hours for over a year. Alone this has no effect, but combined with Tramadol and others I still get little relief. Anyone who is taking this medication sould, in my opinion, talk with their doctor about an alternative.

I have fibromyalgia very badly and was given this drug to try because skelain wasn't doing it and I am allergic to soma. Did not help muscles relax - i fact I am jittery - cann't sleep and have nightmares! Don't take it!!!!!!!!!!

This drug has really been good for me,I'm 54 and can do a lot of thing's now that I couldn't do before. Only thing I don't like is ringing in the ears.

I have shoulder & neck pain, often times radiating down my back. Now I have been diagnosed with Hep-C. Every time I took this medication I had the worst nightmares that night & woke up very disturbed, even when I took just 1/2 a tablet. There's got to be something better!

while breast feeding my second son, my breasts doubled in size, causing so much neck sholder and back pain, i could barely move. i was prescribed this medication, and it took ALL of my pain away. the pills are a bit hard to get down but they are well worth it!!!

I was taking this medicine for muscle spasms in my lower back.

Prescribed to me for back pain. Has been entirely ineffective. Also tastes TERRIBLE!

It even helps when I get charlie horse in my legs.

prescribed for back pain and spasms only effect was ringing in ears not helpful at all

Had severe leg muscle cramps. Drug didn't help. Had back surgery. Come to find out after 5 doctors a 22y/o physical therapist told me it was from diabetes. Guess what? she was right!

xperienced most of th negative side effects including passing out and convulsions

i really like the drug. i can be really active.

since taking this medicine i have noticed that I'm back to being as active as i used to be years ago.
