Pharmacology/Pharmacokinetics: Methocarbamol is thought to work at the level of the spinal cord by inhibiting the flexor and crossed extensor reflexes.

Peak plasma levels are reached in one hour after an oral dose.

Drug Interactions: Other CNS depressants including alcohol may produce additive effects.

Medication woes...

I’m getting rather frustrated with the drugs available for chronic pain sufferers in the UK. I’m currently taking Codeine, Clonidine, Methocarbamol, Pregabalin and Nortriptyline for my pain symptoms. All of which cause drowsiness... so for the past few months I’ve been feeling quite zombified. I wake up the morning, take my tablets, and half an hour later I get this uncontrollable desire to sleep again. Sometimes I literally can’t fight it. I’ve done plenty of research over the past couple of years, since being diagnosed, and it looks like the only medication actually licensed for the treatment of Fibro is Cyclobenzaprine, and, as expected, it’s not available for prescription in the UK. This is the case with a lot of medications and, as far as I can tell, this is mostly to do with Big Pharma and the sheer price of such medications, which wouldn’t be a viable option for the NHS as they are thouroughly under-funded. I understand that months, sometimes years of R&D goes into creating these drugs; I understand that the people who are responsible for their creation have to study for years at expensive universities and expect to be paid a certain salary as a result, but I can’t grasp the cost of the medications themselves. Anyway, I will get round to trying some Cyclobenzaprine (I’ve found a UK website I can buy them from at £4 per 10 capsule strip, which is quite decent considering only 1 pill is to be taken per day), but I wish I didn’t have to do it in such a sneaky way.
