I was trying to figure out what the heck the pills were (before use). They where mixed in with some other pills and I thought the others were the good ones. I was driving all over town trying to find a freakin pharmacy so they could identify it for me but guess what, Im an idiot.

Ah, Methocarbamol, I consider you a cousin of guaifenesin, and you're just about as worthless, IMO. For what it's worth, I got into this mess by pulling a muscle in my back and deciding to forsake the Tizanidine (Zanaflex) this time around because one, I like them a little bit too much, and two, I wanted to spare my li...
Before I mention anything I should warn that I've been taking Effexor XR 225mg for several years and I'm 6'2 tall so the results for this experience may make it different than for others trying methocarbomal.
So, I went into my family's medicine cabinet to look for something to trip on, and I saw an almost full (23 of 28 tablets) bottle of Robaxin, or Methocarbanol, 750mg tablets. My sister got them a few weeks back from getting into a car accident, and she never took them, so i decided I'd try them.
[Erowid Note: The dose described in this report is very high, potentially beyond Erowid's 'heavy' range, and could pose serious health risks or result in unwanted, extreme effects.
On Fluoxetine daily. Took muscle relaxer around 9pm for shoulder pain. Started to become drowsy around 10pm. Fell asleep and woke up in the middle of the night. Wasnt sure where I was and was sleep walking to the bathroom. Got back in bed and had strange feeling of being two separate selves.
I went to the doctor hoping to be prescribed either Soma or Oxycodone for a pain in my side. The doctor said I was developing a hernia, and instead, I was prescribed Methocarbamol, otherwise known as Robaxin. Well, at least soma actually works as a muscle relaxant...
Recreational Usage There is no high to be found in this drug. It works wonders when high dosing for tense, spasming, or knotted muscles. At dosages far exceeding the recommended dosage a disassociated stupor ensues of varying degrees. I enjoy having a beer or two with it, avoid excess booze though.
