For Muscle Spasm "I had a back spasm. The pain went on for almost two weeks. I got a prescription for Skelaxin. It did nothing for me. Taking 800 mg of ibuprofen did a better job."

For Muscle Spasm "Have taken only for two days, but seems to have helped. Have an L4 L5 problem, and after a recent flare-up, this was prescribed. Seems to have helped to speed recovery."

For Fibromyalgia "I have fibromyalgia and was prescribed this to help with the pain. It didn't work well at all. Carisoprodol is a much better muscle relaxant. I also take Tylenol with Codeine #3, which also helps."

For Muscle Spasm "My doctor added this with the Vicodin, no relief of anything, and very expensive. I'll stick to Flexeril when I need a muscle relaxer."
