After Back Surgery (1 1/2 Years ago) I started developing a really bad muscle spasm (Charlie Horse) in my lower back. I've been through the Facet Injections, Trigger Point injections and continued to be in pain. While I DID fall asleep at nights, I never felt like I actually got into that deep sleep, so I was always exhausted when I woke up. The first evening I took this drug (NORFLEX) I...

I used this medication some years ago. After a couple of days I became very lightheaded to the point where I was having trouble staying conscious even when lying down with my head lower than my chest. My toenails were becoming blue. I had already discontinued use as true day before I had told the doctor that my vision had become blurry. We called the doctor and he said that it would be okay as I had already stopped taking the medication. I read in the newspaper a week later that someone had died from using this and that the drug was discontinued. This was many years ago and it hopefully has been addressed. Read More Read Less

I was given this medication in the ER, albeit unnecessarily. Was there for mild flank pain, 30 seconds after the dose via IV push, mid-sentence it felt as if a curtain had come down over my eyes and I was going to faint. My entire body was tingling, the room was spinning, and randomly body parts would go numb - when it was my throat I couldn't breathe. After that initial reaction (5 minutes) I was still dizzy for four hours, freezing cold, and sporadically twitching. Worst experience of my life. Read More Read Less

I only took two doses of this drug because I developed a mild allergic reaction. My reaction was mildly itchy skin over most of my body and a rash on my lower legs. The allergy symptoms cleared up quickly after stopping Norflex. The two doses of this medication that I did take gave very minimal relief for muscle spasms in my back.

Chronic back pain, Fibromyalgia, muscle spasms, muscle pain all over all the time!! Nothing seems to work very well at all. Not even trigger point injections, or epidurals work all the time!

I have been taking Norflex for almost 30 years for muscles spasms in my neck/back due to degeneration of my cervical spine. Norflex helps keep it under control so that I have been able to avoid surgery for many years.

Took it for severe back spasms. I was able to tolerate it and function accordingly, but the muscle twitching has been disrupting. All over muscle twitching, that I never had; prior to the start of the medication. Took the medicine for 5-6 days. No longer taking it. I hope the twitching resolves soon!

Have been using Norflex for over 12 months. Just started having blurred vision 3 months ago. I had trouble passing the state license exam, even with glasses. It seems to be getting worse. RPH, said contact DR. DR. wants me to go off of it, and see what happens.Hope it works, will give it at least 2 months.

I have a genetic disorder in my lower back often causing pain there and in my left leg and ankle when I over exert myself. I take this at night and sleep restfully and wake up without any stiffness. I usually only need to take this once a day for just two or three days and then I go about my business.

Being a person who suffers from multiple, chronic mild to severe pain problems, many meds. have been prescribed to me. In conjunction w/pain meds., Flexeril has been prescribed and works VERY WELL, however, while years ago it used to not make me tired, it now does. Norflex works wonderfully and does not make me tired!! As with each individual (and all medications), results will vary. Unfortunately, we have to be guinea pigs to find out what works, what doesn't and what's going to send us into side effect land. Norflex works great for me! Good luck to anyone and everyone who has to take medication and i hope you feel better.Read More Read Less

I was taking for severe muscle stiffness and pain in back and neck. By the 3rd day I started feeling very confused. By the 5th day, I had severe tremors and muscle twitching all over my body. I could not stay still..my heart was racing and even trying to relax my legs and arms would literally jump. After trip to ER I was told this was a side effect and even after only taking it for less than a week, it could take up to 3-4 weeks for the side effects to go away. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. But there are other posts on here where it has worked for other people. Every one obviously reacts differently. But it was a very scary side effect and I usually can handle taking meds with out any major side effects.Read More Read Less
