Methocarbomol

Hi everyone, I've been taking a muscle relaxant from canada which has methocarbomol in it for apprx. 15 days...i take about 3 or 4 pills a night.  Am i addicted? If i stop am i going to experience withdrawls? I can't find any info online about whether or not they are addictive. thanks

Hi,

Is that all it has in it? I took that for months after a car accident and it isn't addictive. You should be fine stopping but if you feel any side effects just taper your dose. But I don't think its addictive.

Robaxin has methocarbomol in it and is a muscle relaxer and is non addictive.. Taking more then prescribed will not get you high but it will tear up your stomach.. Be good to yourself... lesa

Can I ask why you are taking this?
I ask b/c maybe instead you could go to your doctor to get something effective that won't be as hard on your stomache as aceteminiphen.

It brakes my heart 2 hear so many people hooked on this pills n not want 2 admit that they r addictive.. I myself have pain! I taken Robaxin, I was taking then everyday, 1-3 pills a day after my last surgery, I had too, along w my pain meds. I stoped t Robaxin, it was t only only med I stoped not only did my stomach suffer, but I had THE WORST withdrawls from it... T Dr's won't tell u is a narcotic is not. But it is addictive n coming out of it, IS BAD! I had a recent relaps, due to my pain. I was taking it during t day 1 pill mid day, and 1 @ nite. I stoped t mid-day pill, t withdrawl (withdrawal) syptoms (symptoms) start it... Be careful w Motrin as well,it hurts ur tummy. Norco, well u all know about it. My pain will never go away, is living hell on earth! All u can do is pray, do ur PT n massage. Help other that r in pain give my advise. I know what it is to be in pain. If any of u want any advice or some1 2 listen 2 u we're here :)..

I've taken robaxin, soma, and flexeril and baclofen. the robaxin and baclofen were nothing regarding w/d. The soma I had alot of insomnia in the beginning and the robaxin I noticed no side effects either.
