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.

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 syptoms 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 :)..

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.

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

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.
