Skelaxin (Metaxalone) Helps 12/14/14
Reviewed by:
Location Not Given
Metaxalone has been a big help to me. I had a gastric bypass in 2002 and cannot use NSID's of any kind, nor can I use any of the medications that react in the body similar to NSID's. So while 25% to 35% many not seem like much for someone in my situation it is a big help. I do not have any problems with drowsiness with this medication and it helps quite a bit in controlling the muscle spasms and twitching.
It is still expensive, even with insurance, but that price should be dropping since the actual generic is now available in the US.

Skelaxin - A Great Daytime Muscle Relaxer 08/18/13
Reviewed by:
Location Not Given
I started on Skelaxin and Flexeril when I couldn't tolerate Lyrica in 2008.
I find Skelaxin to be a great muscle relaxer to use during the day as it
doesn't make me too tired. It is a bit costly as there is no generic yet,
but it is worth it to have something to take other than OTC meds, which
have almost destroyed my stomach (advil). I take one 800 mg pill in the
morning and again at midday. Don't know if it's true, but apparently a
lot of people have a hard time staying asleep if they take it at night
but I don't know because I never have. I use Flexeril at night if I need
a muscle relaxer, but I don't take it every day. I'm surprised to see
that Skelaxin (Metaxalone) isn't even listed - I guess I was prescribed
this drug only because I refused to try any other anti-depressants in
place of the Lyrica (anti-depressants and I just don't mix).
