Skelaxin (metaxalone) for Muscle Spasm "For low back pain since I had 2 protruding discs several years ago, I take tramadol for pain and Skelaxin for muscle relaxing. It must be the name brand Skelaxin which works perfectly as the generic causes me to be foggy, loopy, and tired as the med wears off after 3 and a half hours. I also find I don't trust my driving or decision making on the generic."

Skelaxin (metaxalone) for Muscle Spasm "Episodic incidences of serious back spasms and pain due to having herniated discs of L4 and L5. Skelaxin relieves the spasms so I get back to somewhat normal in as short a time as possible without feeling drugged out and tired. It works so far as to what it was prescribed for."

For Muscle Spasm "I have had all my parathyroid and thyroid heads removed. Therefore, I have severe tetany seizures often. I was taking Flexeril, but due to insurance issues, had to switch. Went to Xanaflex, which did not work as well but still helped quite a lot, but I was tired a lot. Dr. switched me to Metaxalone, and it does not help at all. I have 800 mg, and each time I take it, the spasms might let up slightly but still continue. Not happy with this switch and will ask Dr. to put me on something else next week."
