Let's take a minute to talk about your medication. 

This is methocarbamol, and you should take it as directed by your doctor. 

Methocarbamol helps relieve discomfort from painful muscle conditions. You should also rest and follow the physical therapy program that your doctor recommends. 

At first, some side effects could occur, like drowsiness or dizziness. So, don't do activities that require you to be alert, like driving, until you know how it affects you. Alcohol can make these worse, so it should be avoided while taking this medicine. Other effects can occur, too, like upset stomach or problems sleeping. These are normal if they are mild and should go away. But, if these or other side effects become reasons you want to stop taking this medication, please talk to your doctor or pharmacist. 

In rare cases, serious side effects can occur, so call your doctor if you notice any unusual changes to your body, like a rash, confusion, a very slow heart beat, or changes in vision. 

To reduce side effects, you should ask your doctor and pharmacist to approve any new medicines first. 

For best results, take methocarbamol as directed, and follow your doctor's advice for rest and physical therapy to get the most relief for your muscles.
