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? Being a person that has this condition, it disrupts my sleep....Please help.

If you are allergic to codeine, can you take this? ## Hello, Monkey! How are you?

I don't want side effects. Will this help it?

As cocain ## From the information I am finding, no, Methocarbamol has not been known to cause false positives for anything else on standard urine drugs tests. However, there are other substances that can. Where you taking anything else? Even over the counter products? ## Hmm mustve been taking something else along with it perhaps? oops! ## Will methocarbenol show up in a drug tests as Benzos?

It's hard to swallow liquids as it seems my esophagus is swollen. What could be causing it? Any of my medications? ## Does it just seem like it's swollen, or has it been confirmed by a medical professional? Many medications can cause it, according to FDA reports, but it is hard to say just from this vague post. Have you ever been diagnosed with acid reflux? That is also a possible cause. If it comes down to a medication, I think Methocarbamol would be the primary suspect, since it is a muscle relaxant and muscles help us swallow... however, there is also the possibility of an allergy.

pink 068 on one side and 93 on other side ## This was not a Methocarbamol tablet. This was actually a generic for Darvocet, which contained 100mgs of Propoxyphene and 650mgs of Acetaminophen, it was a very mild narcotic pain reliever. However, this is also no longer available in the U.S., Canada and many other countries. It was pulled from the market, because it was found to cause severe risks of cardiac dangers, as well as an inordinate number of overdose fatalities. Are there any other questions or comments? Learn more Darvocet details here. ## July/14/2017. My husband is a quadriplegic and was just prescribed this medication. Methocarbam 500mg. We are in Pennsylvania. Guess it's available.

This pill I found says west-ward 292 on it and 750 mg. What would be the best way to safely dispose of them? Found about 15 in a Ziploc bag while doing some cleaning in a house for sale. The people who lived there must have left them. It was written on the bag what they were but I don't know what to do with them. ## Abiding by safe FDA disposal practices, you have 2 options... The first would be to put them in with some undesirable substance, such as used kitty litter, or coffee grounds. Place the whole mess into a sealed container, then put it in with your regular trash. I've disposed of some, before, by putting them in a jar containing soapy water, sealing it, to let them start dissolving, then tossing it in the trash. The second option is taking them to a nearby pharmacy and ...

Can i take 2 muscle relaxers (methocarbamol 750mg) and 2 tylenol pm's at the same time so i can sleep through the night? ## The danger there is experiencing too much sedation, since they both cause depression of the central nervous system. As detailed by the NIH, that may cause lowered blood pressure, lowered heart rate, shallow breathing, and could create the risk of you slipping into a coma. It would be best not to exceed the recommended doses, if you are having trouble sleeping, your doctor should be able to help. Are you on any other medications?
