can you stop takeing it with out side effects ## Hello, Angie! How are you? How long have you been taking it and what is the dosage? The FDA classifies Methocarbamol as a muscle relaxant, so in theory it isn't addictive, but your body can get used to anything you take for a long period of time and may experience some minor withdrawal effects, if you stop taking it abruptly. The FDA lists the possible withdrawal effects as including nausea, headache, fever/chills, rebound pain and diarrhea.

What are side effects? Risks of interactions with antidepressants/bi-polar meds such as Limictal and/or Klonopin and/or attention meds such as Vyvanse, dextro-amphetamine, dex, dexidrine? Ex stole my prescription and replaced those contents with Methocarbamol and Ativan. Not a horrible forced trade for me till next month when I refill and get back to my normal med blend, although she'll wish she had them when she starts coming down. Anyway, thought I could take one to relax at bedtime but don't want to cross interact and hurt myself. Note: currently not taking any attention medication because of aforementioned. Would love some feedback. Thanks! ## Hi Robert, Sorry to hear about your Ex stealing your prescription. I hope the two of you manage to get things worked out on some leve...

My daughter and her boyfriend took my Methocarbamol. If it were abused, what could happen to them? ## Any medication can cause fatal reactions, if someone abuses it and takes too much, or if they are allergic to it, as explained in many NIH reports. Did they experience any adverse effects? How much did they take? This is a muscle relaxant and the FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth. Do they have any diagnosed medical conditions? Are they on any other medications? ## Is methocarbamol addictive? Would this drug be effective for restless leg syndrome?

I took 2 x 750 mg. Trying to help with the pain until I can get to the dentist. Will this help? ## It’s a muscle relaxant. While it won’t help with the pain, per se, it’ll probably help you feel better, by helping you stop tensing up with the pain. Take ibuprofen with it. You need an anti-inflammatory pain med. ## What Beth stated is correct. Methocarbamol is a muscle relaxant, most commonly used to treat pain and spasms associated with muscle injuries. It works by slowing activity in the nervous system to allow the body to relax. [1] The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth. Acetaminophen, or Ibuprofen may help, if it is safe for you to take them. Do you have an emergency dentist in your area?
