Question 2

Accepted Answer

Life support: Basically support of respiration, circulation, blood pressure. If taken only minutes before induce vomiting and give activated charcoal.

Question 3

can i take two or three methocarbamol and not overdose?

Accepted Answer

Yes: However, the most Methocarbamol that i prescribe would be one or two at a time. Three most likely would not be harmful one time but three pills at a time should not be done on any regular basis since it is more then the prescibed dosing. If it is not helping at the prescibed dosing speak with your physician.

Call Poison Control: I suggest you do what we would do in the office and call the poison control center, 1-800-222-1222, and ask for advice. Though I should add, if there is any question of seriousness, get to the er asap.

Question 5

can a person take 282 mep  and robaxin (methocarbamol)?

Accepted Answer

Yes but.....: An ingredient in 282mep called Meprobamate acts as a muscle relaxant. This is essentially a similar mechanism of action as robaxin (methocarbamol). I do not advise this combination.

Question 6

what is in robaxin (methocarbamol) and how much is safe?

Accepted Answer

Muscle relaxer: Robaxin (methocarbamol) is a muscle relaxer, or a prescription medication which can be used to treat painful or uncomfortable muscle relaxers. How much is safe is highly variable and depends on your age, size, tolerance to medications, the other medications you are taking and how the medicine affects you individually. Basically, safe dosaging should be discussed with your prescribing physician.

Question 7

Virtually none!: This weak antispasm drug can make you feel a bit mellow, but is is a non-controlled substance, and it's abuse is virtually nill. Can be toxic in high doses!

Question 8

Different class: Hydrocodone is a narcotic medications used for pain syndromes as well as for cough suppression, while Methocarbamol is classified as a muscle relaxer.

Question 9

are you supposed to take bacelofen and methocarbamol  together?

Accepted Answer

YOU CAN: NOT DANGEROUS IF BOTH TOGETHER ARE HELPING MORE THAN EITHER ALONE, BUT THIS COMBINATION CAN CAUSE EXCESS SEDATION, SO BE VERY CAREFULL.

Question 10

does methocarbamol help with rls?

Accepted Answer

Prob not, try iron: Methocarbamol is not likely to help very much. The most effective treatment for restless leg syndrome usually is iron pills. Although iron is normally used to treat iron-deficiency anemia, it has been found to be highly effective against most cases of RLS. (I speak from personal as well as professional experience. My wife's very bothersome RLS cleared entirely with iron.) Ask your doctor.
