Is Robaxin Addicting?

[diso]

I just detoxed off a 140-160mg a day addiction to oxycontin.  It has been 10 days since I took my last opiate.  I am still suffering from leg and shoulder cramps.  I have a bottle of Robaxin that was prescribed to me before my detox.  My question is whether Robaxin is addictive?  And would it be wise or unwise to use it for the cramps that currently bother me?

I was on 180mg of Methadone a day. I came down very slowly starting at 10mg a week then when I hit 70mg I went to reducing 5mg a week all the way to 0. Took me 6 months to do this but from knowing others who went from doses of under 100mg to 0 overnight and hearing their horrible withdrawal stories I was determined to do it slow and correctly. The only problem I had after getting off the methadone was trouble sleeping for a few months. But I will take deprivation of sleep over the torment of other withdrawal symptoms any day. Hope this helps and wish you the best of luck.

I was given robaxin as part of my heroin detox, for the muscle cramps that come with withdrawals. Therefore, I highly doubt it's addictive.

I've been on oxycodone, oxycontin, and recently opana for about 8 years now and was up to about 300mgs of oxycodone a day and just quit cold turkey 2 days ago and am so miserable in every aspect of the word. I'm puking, can't eat hardly, hot and cold sweats, u name it. Does anyone have any tips or anything that helps the process go easier or is it just going to be hell no matter what I do?

Rehab is an option! Our kids know what we are doing, give them more credit than that. Have your kids stay with some friends or family. Find a short medical detox program that takes either state funded health care or charity (Catholic organizations are good for this) and get your *** in there! This is not an easy thing to do on your own; you won't die, but without medications to make this go smoother you going to think your dieing. Two weeks in a rehab is nothing in comparison to the lifetime of damage your continued drug abuse will do to your children. I also think that it is good for our kids to understand the struggles we deal with; especially when we take the appropriate steps to correct our mistakes. I refuse to believe that we all have to make our own mistakes to learn--if we allow ourselves to accept and deal with our own reality openly and without shame, we give others an opportunity to learn from our experience so they don't have to make the same mistakes. Pills are everywhere and kids can get them easier than we can, we might even find that instead of generation X our kids will be labeled generation script. Besides did our parents pretending like sex was not a reality for anyone unmarried, so they didn't need to  talk to us about it, help anyone? I don't think so.
