I was recently prescribed Methocarbamol 500mg tablets for muscle spasms due to a back injury. The medication has been effective in relieving the discomfort, but I've been feeling extremely tired and weak. I'm not sure if this is a normal side effect or something more serious. I've also heard about some severe side effects, like seizures and changes in vision. Has anyone else experienced these or other serious side effects? I'm a bit worried and want to know if these symptoms are common or if I should seek medical help right away. I tried to do some research but ended up even more confused. I'm glad I found this community and hope someone can shed some light on this. Also, I’m curious how long it typically takes for the side effects to go away if they're within the normal range. Should I be doing anything specific to help manage these side effects?
