hi can any one help with this drug if your taking it or know someone can you tell me how it works and it side effects and if it helps you with your firbo got them today and want to try to take one but i am not sure fexeril did nothing for me thanks

Cathy, I take Skelaxin 400mg 2x/day, sometimes 3x/day if the pain is bad enough. I have taken it for a long time and find that it helps put some of the pain at bay. when I take it 3x/day I get sleepier than otherwise. That is really the only side effect I get from the Skelaxin.

Just remember, everyone's body is different. Not everyone experiences the same side effects. I hope that it works for you and gives you some relief! Don't hesitate to PM me if you have more questions.

Cathy,

I take 800mg. It says to take them 4 times a day, but that makes me tired. If I take 2xday, im not too tired and deffinately not high either.I think they work, but I also take celebrex, an occasional vicodin and use lidocaine patches. I had horrible side effects from lyrica, cymbalta and flexeril so I try to be picky about my meds.

hope you find the right combo...psk
