In comparison to other muscle relaxers that I have tried this RX did not seem to help much.
This med was prescribed for my husband, but as a nurse (for 18yrs) I have never seen such an unusual reaction. He had hallucinations for 4 days, didnt recognize any loved ones, or even knew he was in his own home. He fell at least 4 times - that I saw - that required a trip to the emergency room. He cracked two ribs and had a small crack to a vertebra. He had a somewhat nasty-looking lump to his head that bled lightly, but luckily suffered no permanent danger to his skull or brain. I know other people who take this same med with no noted side effects at all, but if its a first-time use for you, be careful and try to have a loved one around to monitor you in case this drug affects you in the same way as my husband. My husband is an example of a small number of people who have opposite, even violent reactions to mild medications; so chances are this will not happen to you. However, better safe than sorry. I had to repeatedly keep him away from the gas stoves in our home until that 4 day nightmare had run its course!
