I was prescribed Orphenadrine Citrate 100mg ER Tabs for some chronic muscle pain and stiffness. It's supposed to help relax the muscles by affecting the brain and nervous system. I've been taking it for a week now and haven't noticed much of a difference. Has anyone else had experience with this medication? What's your opinion on it? I'm curious to know if it's worth sticking with or if there are possibly better alternatives out there. I have also experienced some dizziness and minor headaches, which are listed as possible side effects. How common are these? It's a bit concerning.

I took this for a sprained ankle and it was a lifesaver. But I heard that it's overprescribed for minor problems because it's so effective.

My doc told me to be careful with this stuff because it can get addictive. Be mindful of that if you're taking it long-term.

I had some weird hallucinations on this stuff. Not fun. Stick with it if it helps, but be careful.

I switched to physical therapy and it made a huge difference. Might be worth exploring other options if the medication isn't working for you.

I took Orphenadrine for a while and found it helped a lot with the stiffness, but the dizziness was a real bummer. Might be worth talking to your doc about adjusting the dosage.
