I have been on this med for muscle spasms due to injury and fibromalgia. It works wonderful and will stop the spasms with little or no (for me) side effects. You can function much better but have to be on guard that you don't do to much since you aren't feeling anything. Safe and works.

Chronic neck and back pain, taken in combination with tramadol and gabapentin. Everyone is different depending on condition but this is effective for me, a 4 year joint pain patient.

I was given this med for back severe pain after a whiplash injury. It didn't do very much for the pain but it definitely relaxed me. The problem with this med is that it made me very disoriented and drowsy. I would not recommend taking this the night before work or during the day if you have responsibilities that require your full cognitive abilities.

while this drug DID help with my back muscle spasms , it caused the nerve pain in both my legs to go crazy. I take gabapentin for my nerve pain in my legs, but once I stated taking the Chlorzoxazone, the nerve pain in my legs became unbearable & once I quit take it, the pain in my legs went away. like I said it did help my back spasm but it amplified the nerve pain in my legs, lesson learned thanks

horrible back pain with spasms all day:( it doesn't really take away the pain but it does control the spasms and relax the muscles enough for me to at least dress, shower, etc. The side effects are minimal and I don't mind.

i was prescribed this medication for jaw pain in relation to fibrmyalgia. It didn't seem to work at all! I asked my doctor for a medication that was not addicting, but i think i would have ratther taken my chances with something that would have worked.

It does not make me tired. It helps my muscle spasms, but not the pain.

This med has done nothing for me. I feel like I was given a placebo to see if my imagination could make me feel better. Advil is more effective than this stuff!

My wife suffers from extream back pain and muscle spasms. This is the first Non- narcotic medicine that she says has brought her some relief. She has been dealing with back pain for over 10 years and was just prescribed Chlorzoxazone three months ago.
