User Comments about Amrix
07 Aug 2011 Amrix is quite expensive. It does not have much of an effect after a week. Prior to getting my 7 daY prescription, my doctor provided me with a sample.

20 Dec 2010 It helped the muscle spasms, but I did not like the side effects. I had headaches, which I normally do not get, as well as blurred vision. It also made me tired.

26 Jul 2009 After trying several other medications, Amrix was the first to relieve the intense constant pain in my head. I was extremely tired the first couple of weeks after I started taking it. Especially in the first week, I couldn't even trust myself to take care of my children because I couldn't keep my eyes open. I also had problems with my face breaking out and extreme dry mouth. I tried to stop taking the pill after 3 weeks, but my headaches came back the next day. I have now been on Amrix for 6 weeks. I no longer feel tired all the time, but I have noticed the past several days that my headaches are slowing coming back...today the pain started to be constant. I take the pill at the same time every night and don't miss a dose. I'm wondering if my body may have come to be immune from the drug? The other downside to this pill is the cost...nearly $300 for a month supply!
