Hi Yxi :-)
>It is closely related if not exactly a barbiturate
Chemically, it's not a barbiturate. Pharmacologically, it resembles the short-acting barbiturates.
>It was discontinued in the UK around 2002 and Canada as well I think.
In the UK, meprobamate is available as a generic. It's pretty difficult to obtain though! Carisoprodol is available here as Carisoma. It's virtually never prescribed.
How do you find methocarbamol? Very little information is available. It's rather mysterious.
Tidings!
