    works great.. i have nerve damage in my bottom lip from a jaw injury, as i take gabapentin as well, but this medication helps relax the muscles in my face with out making me feel drugged out.

    I have an oral facial jaw disorder, With TMJ. I haven't been on it long but so far it's working. After reading the side affects, I'm worried about it being addictive. I will be talking with my Doctor about this.

    THE LABEL ON THIS MED. SAID "MAY CAUSE SEDATION", SO I TAKE IT WHEN GOING TO HAVE A NAP, AND AT BEDTIME. HOWEVER, I HAVE TAKEN A 4 MG TAB DURING THE DAY, KEPT MOVING AND IT DID NOT CAUSE SLEEP. THANKS, MANUFACTURERS FOR MAKING THIS DRUG AVAILABLE, AND THANKS TO MY DOCTOR AND HER P.A. FOR PRESCRIBING IT WITH THE APPROPRIATE LABEL!

    Took a 4mg tab. Within 25 minutes I was extremely sleepy. At the one hour mark I felt like I was unable to get up and walk around safely. Forget about trying to drive. I need a non-drowsy type of medication for my back spasms as I'm way to busy to be knocked down by this particular medicine. I will not be taking anymore of it.

    The first time I took the med, within 4 or five hours my B/P went very low and I could hardly stay awake. The Dr. told me to go to 1/2 a pill for a week then go back to a full (4MG) dose. Dry Mouth wakes me up several times a night and I can't tell it is doing any good for my shoulder and arm pain. I am not sure it is the right stuff for my problem and will be discussing with the Dr. very soon ... Show Full Comment
