The pain mgmt. Dr. prescribed this medicine for me. I guess in place of the flexerill. He gave me samples to help with the back spasms I have been having. I did google the medicine, as well as look it up on mayoclinic.com. I have cancelled my neck surgery since my 3rd and 1st Dr.'s claim surgery is the last option, and my neck and back feels a bit better for now. Surgery can always be done in the future if needed. Anyone taken this medicine?

I have taken it with mixed results. One of the best things is, it doesn't make you sleepy, so if you have to drive or work, it doesn't interfere. I don't find it as effective as some of the other realxers, and it is very expensive! Since I pay cash, I politely turn down new, expensive stuff!

Muscle Relaxant, didn't make me sleepy or groggy. But the copay is sky high since it is a new med.

It doesnt make me tired unless I am already tired, then it makes me more so. I do like it though and feel that for a temporary fix it does assist with muscle spasms.

It is a muscle relaxer but it didn't work at all for me it caused servere migraines that lasted a week after I stopped taking it. but for those that it works for it is great because it is less sedating.
