There is no safe amount of methocarbamol to get high. Attempting to use this medication recreationally is extremely dangerous and carries significant health risks.
Potential Dangers of Methocarbamol Misuse
Methocarbamol is a muscle relaxant, not a recreational drug. Misusing it can lead to several serious consequences, including:
- Severe drowsiness and impaired coordination, increasing the risk of accidents. Respiratory depression, potentially leading to death, especially when combined with other depressants like alcohol or opioids. Liver damage with prolonged or high-dose misuse. Addiction and dependence, requiring medical intervention to overcome. Serious interactions with other medications.
The effects of methocarbamol vary depending on individual factors like body weight, metabolism, and other medications taken. However, any attempt to achieve a “high” inherently involves exceeding the recommended dosage, dramatically increasing these risks.
Understanding Methocarbamol Dosages
Prescribed dosages are carefully determined by a healthcare professional based on individual needs. Self-medicating or exceeding prescribed doses significantly increases the risk of adverse effects.
| Tablets | 500-1500 mg per day in divided doses | Dosage varies greatly depending on patient and condition |
| Injectable Solution | 1-3g per day, administered intravenously or intramuscularly, usually under direct medical supervision | Exclusively for in-patient use by a medical professional. |
Remember: Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely when taking methocarbamol. Never attempt to alter the dosage to achieve a psychoactive effect. If you are struggling with substance abuse, seek professional help immediately. There are resources available to assist you.
