Brief Answer:
Usually not used recreationally.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,
Parafon Dsc 500 is Chlorzoxazone - which is a muscle relaxant. It is prescribed in cases of musculoskeletal injury and muscle spasm.
Muscle relaxants are not high on the list of medications that are used recreationally as they are more likely to cause sleepiness than to cause a high. Because of this, they don't have a large street value.
However it is "centrally acting" - meaning it has an effect on the central nervous system, so there is potential for abusing it.
