I have a pill with a cursive "V" on one side, and 4212 on the other. It is about the size of a tylenol or something similar. I have read that it is a pain pill and then i have read that it is a muscle relaxer. Anyone out there know for sure?

V4212
I know I've seen a picture of this somewhere, but I can't find it right now.
But here is more information about methocarbamol from Eckerd's Prescription Advisor:

Not Vicodin
V 4212 does not contain hydrocodone or any narcotic pain medication.
But, like Princess said, some people consider methocarbamol a pain pill because it's a muscle relaxant that works via the central nervous system.
In other words, your perception of pain lessens
so that your muscles can relax and heal more quickly. So, in that
context, it's a pain pill and apparently very effective for short-term
muscle sprains and spasms.

It's classified as a muscle relaxant, but many people refer to methocarbamol and similar muscle relaxants as pain pills. I'll try to find a picture and more information for you.
