Has anyone been prescribed Robaxin, methocarbamol generic name., for pain caused by muscle spasms?
Any side effects I should be aware of ? I am not familiar with this medication. I had been taking flexeril & motrin for my neck & shoulder pain, but the flexeril was not working well , I talked to my Dr. as was suggested on by many on DS and he prescribed the new med. it is helping . Just wanted to know if any adverse side effects from this medication as he has told me I can continue with the motrin too. Thank you!

" wow so I was just going to search for user reviews of this drug on here...cause I literally just picked it up from my pharmacy!! I hope it works..I too was on cyclobenzaprine but it only makes me sleepy, I`m pretty sure it didnt help with the back. Anywho, you could try searching it on here...or I think if you just click it (since its green) on here it may take you to reviews of the drug by ppl on DS from all different support groups and how its worked or not worked for them! I will let you know what I think after I start it!! Let me know too?? Please and thank you!! XOXO "
