"I've been on a host of antidepressants and opiates. While opiates do relieve my pain slightly more this is a miracle drug for those who do not want to be on a lifetime of daily medication. The analgesic effect of this drug seems to go hand in hand with nerve pain, although it does not directly help the pain, I find it releases tension in my back which in turn helps the pain substantially. My only beef with this substance is that it only lasts 4-5 hours where as Panadeine or something similar lasts 8-10 hours. Please be aware of anticholinergic effects, it can give weird dreams and hallucinations if not enough choline is present. its 1/3rd as strong as PCP as an NDMA agonist."

Norflex (orphenadrine) "Aggravated old lower back injury. Spasms with sharp pain. Norflex stopped the spasms which I frequently got while standing or lying down. No side effects other than cotton mouth. I take it day and night, with no daytime fatigue and feel fine at work."

Norflex (orphenadrine) "After two days of lower back spasms that were increasingly getting worse to where I was having trouble walking, on a pain scale of 1 - 10 it was 9/10 so I decided to seek medical help. I was prescribed Norflex as a muscle relaxant in 100mg tablet form. The first dose was in the evening to be taken with Paracetamol and second dose the next morning. After one day the spasms are no longer severe and the pain is bearable 5/10 This medication has been amazing for me, the only side affect is a very dry mouth."

"I was first prescribed Orphenadrine (ORP) (in the form of Norgesic tablets) 30 years ago (in 1994) for relief from lower back pain. I had surgery performed in 1998 (to repair 3 damaged vertebrae disks), in 2000 (for 1), and in 2016 (for 7). I continue to take ORP 100mg ER tablets once, and sometimes twice a day (and occasionally two tablets together, as needed) for very satisfactory relief from pain and terrible muscle spasms. I have NEVER experienced any adverse side effects when taking this medication. For the record, over the many years, with the perspective of lowering RX pricing costs, I have alternately tried using doctor-suggested cyclobenzaprine, baclofen, and diclofenac. The effectiveness of the ORP 100mg ER tablets has worked the best for me. Based on my 30 years of experience, I rate it a 10, on a scale of one to 10, for its effectiveness. Out of the blue, three weeks ago, my insurer denied my 90-day Rx renewal. I have appealed. If denied, I will find a new Rx plan."

"Good medicine for muscle pain. Side effects feel like taking NyQuil, but wear off in a few days. I have heart failure, and for some reason, Orphenadrine also eliminated my constant heart palpitations/PVCs. A nice surprise!"

"Thoracic and lumbar issues cause constant muscle spasms. Orphenadrine e.r. Helps tame them. It is also the least of the evils when it comes to causing drowsiness."
