This is a fantastic product. My husband and I have been using these muscle relaxers for several years. I started looking for something after I hurt my back gardening. After hurting my back once, it became a recurring thing.... I had been to the doctor several times, always getting a prescription muscle relaxer. The prescription muscle relaxer completely wipes you out so that you can't do anything but sleep. I needed something to take that would relax my muscles without putting me to sleep and this is it.
I haven't been back to the doctor for muscle spasms since I started using it.
You have to take more of it than you would a prescription medication, but the effect is exactly right. Taken following the instructions, it relaxes my muscles to reduce muscle spasms but won't put you to sleep.
We now take a few of these after working in the garden or doing anything else that could cause us to wake up stiff and sore. Since I have used these, I have not had to visit the doctor again for muscle spasms in my back. It makes a great preventive for muscle stiffness. I also find that it helps me relax and get to sleep and I take it occasionally for that.
I tried to tell my doctor about these, but he cut me off in midsentence, assuming I was going to say they didn't work. So it went something like this:
Doctor, I have been taking this Formula 303 muscle relaxant that has magnesium and valerian root and..... (he cuts me off here)
Doctor says...... and of course that didn't work you.
And I then corrected him...... No, they work great, much better than the medications because I don't fall asleep.
Doctor waves hands and ignores me and starts talking about something else.
So sad the mainstream medical community is so obsessed with pharmaceuticals when they are not necessary for a lot of things.
