View Full Version : Drug info - Robaxin (Methocarbomal)
When I went to pick up my scripts from the pain clinic, there was a new one in the pack. It's for an old fashioned (the bottle it came in listed 'Vintage Pharmacuticals as the manufacturer)muscle relaxant. There's nothing about it it on Erowid, and looking it up on the internet, I can only find about a paragraph on it anywhere that says 'Skeletal muscle relaxant'. Asked the nurse who gave me the scripts, and she said that Doc wanted me to try these out along with my narcs. Brand name is Robaxin, generic methocarbonal. They're big white horse pills. Is there any recreational use of this stuff? Two 500 mg make me feel kind of rubbery. Any way to alter or make a good cocktail?

SWIM BLA BLA BLA
pills Methocarbam/ 66|101 are these just normal ole' muscle relaxers, or something worth a damn to SWIM. SWIM doesnt like muscle relaxers for the most part because SWIM thinks they are weak. Would SWIM be interested in these.
sorry im in a obnoxious mood

SWIM says they SUCKED, just like most muscle relaxors. Cant argue with SWIM
Glad that's taken care of.

My Grandpa has the same stuff. It is for serious pain, but I bet with a stiff drink the effects might be more trippy. I don't know how safe it is though. You don't think two pills and a beer would kill someone do you? what do ya think? (i don't know how many mgs that is, the pill says west-ward 292) ??

I've taken two and a half before when I a perscriptionand didn't feel much of anything. They aren't like Valium or anything.
Back when I was in high school, many moons ago, one morning I woke up with one helluva neckache. Couldn't move my head from one side to another 'cause I slept wrong. My dr prescribedRobaxin, I think it was 500mg per pill...totally loosened up the neck. I felt totally loopy.Keep in mind I was only 14 or 15 and had no tolerance for anything back then.
They affect me wonderfully :) almost like cannabis after 2 tabs.

I have never heard of that drug. It had no effects, you say? I'm going to look this one up, I can't believe i've never heard of it. Did it even make you drowsy?

If you still have them, I have found that Robaxin has a good synergy with opiates and alcohol (be very very careful please), I first discovered this after I was given them after a car wreck.

are vikes considered opiates? if so what kinda dosage would be safe to mix.
INodHardOhYeah
05-01-2006, 23:58
Yes they are opiates, for someone who is not opiate tolerant I would recommend around 2000 mgs of Robaxin combined with 2-4 Vics, this should make for a pleasant evening.

Ok, this is the stuff in robaxacet extra strength OTC back pain releiver, it is a muscle relaxant. I noticed other muscle relaxants had some recreational effects, and thought this one was worth at least searcning on. I did that and all it said is it has sedative properties. Is it possible this has some form of high this can give, similar to the muscle relaxants that give benzo-like effects?.

I guess im left to answer my own question once again. I found this link...http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=2703967&dopt=Abstract
This quote is taken right from the last scentence of the paragraph.
"The results indicate that methocarbamol, at doses well above those used therapeutically, has some potential to be abused by persons with histories of sedative/hypnotic abuse; however, this potential for abuse is probably decreased by the accompanying side effects at high doses and is probably less than that of lorazepam."
SWIM is thinkin about trying it out on his guinea pigs tonight.

SWIM is prescribed robaxin for SWIM's TMJ. SWIM found that if you take 4-5 at once (preferably washed down with a beer) you get a nice head buzz. They've also helped SWIM come down from uppers!
Robaxin (Methocarbamol) is an aromatic glycerol ether and is indicated as an adjunct in acute painful musculoskeletal conditions. It is a relaxant which is thought to work via CNS depression (ie: it's sedative effect). It has no direct action on the contractile activity of skeletal muscle.
As it possesses CNS depressant activity SWIY should think twice about combining it with other CNS depressants (including alcohol, opiates and benzos).
Therapeutic dose is: 1.5 g 4 times daily
Adverse effects include:
Nausea, vomiting, dyspepsia; hypersensitivity reactions (including urticaria, angioedema, anaphylaxis); fever, headache, drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, amnesia, restlessness, anxiety, tremor, seizures; blurred vision, nasal congestion; rash, pruritus; leucopenia, and cholestatic jaundice.
It is not thought to be addicting.

Well they're very good at what they're supposed to do, also they're fine in combo with opiates since I was prescribed that and vicodin today and told to take both together before bed. I'm sure alcohol is a different story though. I took 10mg of Hydro and 750 mg of Robaxin a bit ago and I feel fantastic though. Score: Me-1, Severe Back Pain-0. Oh also to the starter of this thread 3-15 minute wait before redosing!!!! Do you know anything about absorbtion?

well...SWIM just tried to snort a tab but said that shit BURNS LIKE A BITCH! SWIM usually snorts percocet or vicodin but...SWIM doesn't know if its even worth trying to finish the pill. the only thing SWIM has got from it is consistant sneezing. which sucks. bottom line, that shit seems like a waste of time...so far.
(<
This robaxin souns very familiar, both effect and word wise) to skelaxin. Just thought SWIdr would stick in his input to lubricate thoughts on the subject.

Swims friend obtained a 30ml Vial of Methocarbamol Injection. Can anyone tell Swim about this drug? Does it have recreational uses? Swim knows its a Skeletal Relaxer, but thats about it. Swim needs to know what to do with it? Is it worthless ect.? Swim and his friend arnt interested in IM or IV so what can Swim and friend do?:thumbsup:
SWIM has been prescribed methocarbamol for chest pain. TBH, it didn't do anything for him. He says it was like taking sugar pills.
He still has some in his medicine cabinet. I suppose he could go take another dose and tell me how it went.
SWIY could try a small dose. SWIM is sure it would come far from harming SWIY.
So, wait- you can access DF but not Google?
Methocarbamol is a muscle relaxer, as you mentioned. It has zero recreational value. P.O dosages of 1-1.5g po tid are common. It's good for its intended use.

might get swiy a good stupor and some drool in his lap. other then that likely not much recreational value.
If it were to be effective IM or IV i speculate that swiy would not remember much if any of the experience and to others swiy would look like a vegatable... not advised.

Why do alot of people on this site gotta be Smart Asses? of course i used google, but google isnt to incline to let you know about recreational drug uses, unless you type in recreational drug use and search for it, which at that point you are directed to this site! :thumbsup:
^
Apologies. Don't blame the site, this is a personality disorder.
It's true that Google won't give lead you directly to instructional sites on how to abuse rx meds, however there are many prescription drug databases out there. Most, if not all, list side effects. That's where you cull your information from.*

SWIM gets Robaxin perscribed with Percocet. 1 Robaxin, 2 Percocet...back pain is all gone and SWIM is feeling very good.

Dr. Muddy is quite right. When Swim first got his scirpt today for Methocarbamol (robaxin), he thought he was being Rxed Skelaxin (metaxolone) at first. Took a few mins to figure out!
Not without it's charm, that is, it certainly does relax his muscles. Not much in the way of euphoria though, unless used to boost other depressants, presumably.

This compound is available next to Tylenol in pharmacies in Canada.
It is not significantly abused. SWIM is of the opinion that it is not really worthwhile, and only will be abused by those with significant drug-seeking behaviour.
In short, it sucks.
