I was prescribed Robaxin for muscle spasms(side effect of Degenerative Disk Disease) and almost immediately developed small, itchy bumps on soft tissue areas of my body. I was subsequently advised to stop taking it. Oatmeal baths and Benadryl were also advised as to relieve this side effect.

I was injured on the job in 2005. I was on Robaxin for a very long tome and it just quit working for me. My back doctor recently switched my medication to Flexeril and I am happy to say it is helping with muscle spasams. I have had 3 back surgeries in 2 years

I was put on this along with other medications for severe back pain. I've had back pain for over 10 years and finally have found a combination of meds that have been working very well.

I found this drug to be a very mild muscle relaxer. I did not get great relief from it as I do Zanaflex.
