How bad is it for the liver? Is it effective as a muscle relaxant?
Does anyone have any experience with this substance? I doubt it's recreational, but i have a prescription but idk if i wanna pick it up.
Hardly any information anywhere about this substance.
 
I've taken a lot of that stuff. It's only toxic to the liver in rare cases, or if your liver is already vulnerable. It has absolutely no recreational value. Good when you have a stiff neck or sore muscles. Very weak compared to other muscle relaxants out there.

The drugs been around for 50 years and has become slightly obsolete in a lot of places. That's why you won't find many anecdotes on it. For serious muscular diseases, drugs like baclofen and benzodiazepines blow it out of the water.
 
I see.
Do you have any muscle relaxants you'd suggest? Something that isn't too bad for the liver.
 
Chlorozoxazone isn't particularly horrible on the liver. Just like most drugs that are metabolized by the liver, their risk/benefit assessment depends on dosage, the specific drugs metabolism, the drugs toxicity, and the current condition of your liver. So in essence, what I'm trying to say is asking for a drug recommendation on a muscle relaxant that isn't particularly toxic to the liver is somewhat broad, and difficult to answer over the internet.

They're all metabolized by the liver, and they all have the potential to be hepatoxic. Your prescribing physician is the only person who could determine whether their toxicity should be a cause of concern for you.

The best muscle relaxants in my opinion, or the most effective ones are baclofen and carisoprodol. After those two would be drugs that fall into the benzodiazepine category such as bromazepam or diazepam. All these drugs carry a risk of dependance, addiction, and withdrawal.
 
Yup, been there with benzos. Carisoprodol is off the market where i am.
Gonna read up on baclofen i think, might try the chlorozoxazone tabs. Thanks for the help!
 
I have only seen this stuff in the combination OTC med acetazone forte c8 which has acetaminophen and 8mg's of codeine along with this muscle relaxant. Unfortunatly carisoprodol is not available here where i live even though meprobamate still is and is used for the same purposes really. Though good luck finding a doctor that even knows what mep 282 is.

I would suggest going back to your doctor and atleast going for orphenadrine (brand name norflex) or if your lucky Valium. Besides methocarbamol and cyclobenzaprine those have been the drugs i have been prescribed most often as a muscle relaxant. I haven't tried baclofen but it's a gaba-B agonist much like GHB i think. I have heard good things about it from some people and other people i know have gotten bad reactions where they felt like they where really loaded even on the prescribed dose.
