No, its not. Robaxin (or methocarbamol) is a central nervous system depressant (as are narcotic medications) and a muscle relaxant but it does not have addictive properties. It's actually a derivative of guaifenesin, which is found in many cough and cold remedies, and which some people believe helps in fibromyalgia. It is derived from the guaiac tree.

I was recently prescribed Robaxin for muscle tension due to serious stress. I have come to find that it's benefitting much more. I have MS and chronic lymes and I am always in constant pain. But now I have noticed that I actually have brief periods of zero pain! It could also be from the vicodin, but i was already on that for several months. So I say it's the Robaxin that is giving the much needed relief from the pain.
I thought that neurontin worked much more effectively for my particular pain. I had 4 pounds of flesh and muscle debrieded from my leg after a spider bite
Oh, yeah, and sorry, no, it is non narcotic, but you should wait to see how it effects you personally. Like me, I can't take benadryl and drive. dilaudid, oxy, methadone, cyboxin, I am fine, but one little benadryl and I feel unsafe on the road. Good luck
