Misc Guaifenesin vs methocarbamol - indistinguishable in high doses?

simstim said:
Let me start by saying i really enjoy several grams (usually 4-4.5g) of methocarbamol per dose and think it's the best carbamate muscle relaxer that is easy to obtain (somas suck for me bc my liver doesn't make something useful with it). The relaxation from high dose methocarbamol is intense and i really enjoy the tingling numbness of the tongue, face, and hands that it brings.

Methocarbamol is the carbamate of guaifenesin. I read online that guaifenesin has muscle relaxant properties on its own but could find no information on people abusing it. As it turns out, guaifenesin is an analogue of mephenesin which used to be prescribed as a tranquilizer and muscle relaxant. Guaifenesin Is 2-methoxy where mephenesin is 2-methyl. Guaifenesin is available over the counter here and a bottle of 15 pills is cheaper than you could imagine.

I decided to try it and found that 10-15 of the 400mg guaifenesin pills is pretty much indistinguishable from the same amount of methocarbamol. Same taste, same relaxation, same tingling numbness. Also same side effects. Primarily a mild nausea.

What do you think? Anyone else like methocarbamol? How about high dose guaifenesin? Anyone from a country that still prescribes mephenesin that could compare?

There is literally almost no information about using guaifenesin like this and very little about methocarbamol so i thought someone should post this. Cheers!!

Wait, Guaifenesin is psychoactive?? I thought it was just that shit that you have to watch out for with DXM cough syrups because it's a pro-emetic?

It's like a really mid shitty high- honestly less potent than methocarbamol, and less enjoyable than dxm. Either of these statements alone say a lot, but together, they scream a cacophony of "stay the fuck away". Psychoactive? Debatably. Fun? Hell no.
