Question 1

what are the pregnancy risk taking methocarbomal for opiate withdrawl? my 3 pregnancy test were negative but was told it might be too early to tell.

Accepted Answer

Methocarbamol: Methocarbamol is a Class C drug for pregnancy, which basically means that it should only be used if absolutely necessary. Although there is no definite evidence that it might be related to birth defects or miscarriage, it would be best not to take it while pregnant

Question 2

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.

Question 3

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Many potential: Always read handout about your medication from pharmacy. This should have your answer. Range is as simple as lightheaded all the way to something serious as seizure.

Question 5

is it safe to take 8000 mg of methocarbamol?

Accepted Answer

Usually not: Assuming this is orally given for muscle spasm (it can be given IV and also be used for tetanus), you can take up to 6 gms/day (split up 4x/day, therefore 1.5 gm/dose) for the first 2-3 days, then decrease to 4-4.5 gms/day in 3-6 divided doses. There are rare cases where you can take 2 gms/dose during the 1st 2-3 days (discuss with md 1st). Confusion and low heart rate & blood pressure=toxicity.
