Question: My doctor put me on Methacarboline Does it cause drowisness?
Brief Answer:
Yes, methocarbamol can be sedating.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I am so sorry you are having so much pain. Yes, methocarbamol can cause drowsiness. It is a muscle relaxant and can cause people taking it to feel sleepy. Not everyone is affected this way, but as you are on other medications that can cause sedation, it may compound this effect.
You may want a second opinion, if you haven't already had one, for your back problems.
I hope this information helps.
