Carisoprodol
muscle spasm
"I use this medication for relief of sciatica which, for me, is crippling pain in my right hip and calf.  Of all the medications I've tried for sciatica relief this is the only one that has been effective.  I would even go so far as to call it a miracle drug as my symptoms go away completely within an hour of taking this medication.  I only need to take it for a few days at a time and have no problem controlling its use.  I even pay full price for my prescription as my insurance company will not approve it for treatment of sciatica.  It does cause me to feel light headed for a few minutes when it first "kicks in" and then I feel normal for the duration of the dose. (3x/day)"
