Methocarbamol/Robaxin

[MyEyesAreBleeding]

Hi

I wondered if anyone had any experience of this medicine. I've been taking it for a few weeks and have found it's really helped my pain. It's incredible, as I've been unable to get my back pain under control for some time. I'm also a bit terrified about what happens when I stop taking them. It's not a medication I've ever heard mentioned so thought I would see if anyone had experiences to share

Oh I had hoped someone had.

I've found them really good for significant back pain. I'm on a list of other painkillers but these being added is the only thing thats given me any relief after a nightmare month before that.

I feel like they might be starting to lose efficacy now. Aches and pains are saying so.

They feel like horse pills to take. I prefer after eating, otherwise felt a bit sick. Make me even thirstier than usual. I drink a few litres of water a day anyway but my mouth and lips are all dry and cut. That's the main unfortunateness.

They're not on a long term basis anyway.

@MyEyesAreBleeding I bought some of these back from Canada and have found them amazing for lower back pain and spasms. Were you able to get a GP to prescribed them in the UK? I'm worried what I will do when they run out! I am actually pain free for the first time in ages.

Hey there. Yes my doctor prescribed them.. They helped me for 3 weeks then literally stopped working. I think that's how these things go, they only work short term.

So he has given me another tub to keep for emergencies. What dose did you buy? I'll Check what mine are

Mine are 750mg. And by the way, I total understand feeling pain free first time in a long time. It's quite upsetting in a way, isn't it 💜

@MyEyesAreBleeding that's good to know that your GP did prescribe them for you. I will do an e consult tomorrow and see if I can get a prescription. Mine are 750mg, with ibuprofen, but I don't think it is the ibuprofen doing anything.
How is your pain now? Even though I am pain free at the moment, it's in the back of my mind that it could come back any time.

I'm not sure how easy they will be to get prescribed. I take a good few other medications and these are the first which actually seemed to have made a difference. I did spend most of the time worrying about then wearing off. Pain is back to previous tbh.

Let me know how you get on.. Fingers crossed
