Vomiting, stomach aches, racing heart, insomnia. Had to drink a gallon of milk. Popping antacids next day. Lousy. Lousy. I have no idea how people take this - goes to show how different people's bodies are. I would rather drink urine than take another of these pills.

History: 2016 diagnosis of fractured L4 and slightly bulging discs; 2006 diagnosis of bilateral sacral fractures, left acetabular fracture, T2 facet fracture & L1 TP fracture (post-MVA). I frequently experience moderate to severe muscle spasms and lower back pain. Occasionally, the pain can be incapacitating. PT/core strengthening has improved overall functionality, but that is a work-in-progress and pain is usually worse before becoming better. Steroid injections did absolutely nothing aside from causing me to faint immediately after the procedure. I've taken the generic form of Skelaxin (Metaxalone) for about 9 months; it (along with a heating pad) has been the only source of comfort. It works rather quickly and doesn't cause drowsiness (uncommon with most other meds I've taken). While I do not wish to remain on this long term, nor is it a cure, I find it to be overall effective, even better than a Flexeril/ Lortab combo. I would highly recommend Skelaxin for frequent back pain relief.

Comment:
this medication (Skelaxin / Metaxalone ) is the only medication we (my spouse and myself) take that works almost immediately for muscle spasms.

Comment:
I had a head/neck injury. The muscles in my neck and shoulders hurt all the time. The doctor had me try Skelaxin. After a few weeks, the pain got better to where I could actually function again.
