GypzsoulMy prescription had a C in front of the rx numbers,I know this drug is not a scheduled drug as of yet.(CVS was the drug store)My drug store I usually use was out of the drug,when I called to ask my Pharmacist why it was handled as a schedule class drug,he informed me they(FDA)may make it a scheduled drug but he is not for sure as of yet.
Is the FDA going to make Carisprodol a scheduled class drug?

Hi Gypzsoul,
Yes the DEA/FDA reached a decision in December 2011 to make Carisprodol a Schedule IV class drug. It went in to effect Janruary 9, 2012. It has been this way in Texas (where I live) and several other states for some time now. I think it is ridiculous!!! This has happened once again because of all the "addicts" abusing the drug. My pain mgmt clinic took all their patients off Soma because of this and it is extremely hard to find doctors that will rx it now. Hope this helps. Good luck and best wishes.
Your friend -Terri-

Actually it was the DEA that made this decision not the FDA. It went into effect Jan. 12, 2012 not the 9th. I went back and re-read the article. It was already a controlled substance in 17 states. This just made it a federal law. Again, I think it's a laugh. It helps so many (including me) to get relief that no other muscle relaxer seems to provide. Take care and I hope this doesn't make it harder for you to get your prescription. -Terri-
I must agree, this is ridiculous!! But, perhaps the FDA knows something about Soma that we don't.
Who knows? But the people that are suffering without it most certainly need a replacement if it is going to be so hard to get.
I live in Michigan, and I get it, yet don't use it often. (I'm actually afraid of it)
I just don't understand why some people can be prescribed Soma, and others do without it!!
Hi Sweetie Lemon Pie,
I looked up this article after you gave me the great info. When my pain mgmt doc stopped rxing it I was in HORRIBLE pain for 5 months while they tried me on 6 different muscle relaxers. Finally my primary doc said 'this is ridiculous' and he rxed it for me. He has been my doc for over 20 years and knows me well. He's been with me through all the surgeries and well you know the nightmares I've been through in the past 10 yrs or so. I know there are people out there abusing it. They make us all suffer.
Love ya Lara Pie -Terri-
Yes, Terri, I do know what you've been through. And it has been a lot for one person to bare!!
I'm very happy your doc finally gave you an RX for Soma! Hope it helps the pain my friend.
(I PQ'd you, did ye get it yet?)
Love,
Lara
