I suffer from chronic pain from multiple spine surgeries, abdominal and neck surgeries too, and when I combine this med with my pain med (Morphine SR), I get pretty good pain and spasm control. I have been off and on methocarbamol, and the difference is notable. As many chronic pain sufferers know, pain can escalate in severity with spasms to near impossible-to-tolerate levels.

I suffer from chronic pain from multiple spine surgeries, abdominal and neck surgeries too, and when I combine this med with my pain med (Morphine SR), I get pretty good pain and spasm control. I have been off and on methocarbamol, and the difference is notable. As many chronic pain sufferers know, pain can escalate in severity with spasms to near impossible-to-tolerate levels. The spasms created a domino-effect that exacerbated my pain has been taken away to a greater extent by this medication. I have suffered from severe chronic low back and leg pain, cramps, and spasm in my legs and abdomen since 1995 following a helo accident while a Marine in 1980, and I've had pain in my life for over 37 years. The VA has had me on everything, getting hooked on some of it, and by using this med in conjunction with much lower doses of Morphine, my quality of life has significantly improved. Needing less morphine is a good thing when you don't like the idea of being a junkie. I must live with pain, but getting the spasms under some control means a lot to me.

I've been taking 750mg three times a day for three months. It just doesn't work. I've substituted Tylenol which produces better results. Doctors seem to be afraid of prescribing a drug that actually works, like Soma. IT WORKED GREAT!

Taking for neck spasm and headaches. Didn't seem to make a difference at all. I have been on other muscle relaxers like tizandine and flexeril that have made me too drowsy but this didn't seem to have any effect at all.

I had multiple side effects from using this drug. Including dizziness, fatigue, and vertigo. I definetly do not suggest driving while on this medication from personal experience I almost wrecked my car. It does dull the pain, but only for a short amount of time.
