I was prescribed Methocarbinol for my back pain and I would like to know if it is a good pain killer because my back pain is killing me and I need something to strike back.
I can’t tell you if it is going to work good on you or not, that is individualized and depends on what is casuing your back pain. Methocarbamol is a muscle relaxant and particularly good for treating muscle spasm, which causes many cases of back pain. This drug may reduce pain by acting directly on certain chemical messengers in the brain rather than by directly relaxing muscles. Because muscle relaxants may act on chemical messengers in the brain, this may explain why they also cause drowsiness.
