Soma (carisoprodol): I have recently started having back pain and my doctor started me on Soma. I have been pain free ever since. It really does take the pain away, and fast. Just do not drive on it. It relaxes your muscles and you can easily lose focus.

Soma (carisoprodol): I was put on Soma six years ago along with my pain medicines. I swear by it. I have been on the same dose of Soma and pain medicines for 6 years. Because of Soma I have not had to alter my dose and have been able to work and function and it was good. Till my doctor took everyone off it. I am now miserable and in pain. It is great and it works.

Soma (carisoprodol): After having my first of three epidurals in lower back, my first injection left me with the worst spasms possible. Luckily for me, my neighbor works at my doctor's office. I called her that night and she called the doctor and he called me in Soma's. I had never heard of them! Lord was I glad he had. I was taking double on my Lortab and it didn't work. I quit taking the Lortab after finding how much better the Soma helped me overall. My whole body didn't even hurt.

Soma (carisoprodol): I have been on narcotics and different types of muscle relaxers for over two years now for chronic back pain. I just started taking Soma as a last resort and wow am I glad I decided to give it a shot. To date I have more relief from the Soma then from the previous narcotics that I was taking. Its amazing and I am thankful.

Soma (carisoprodol): I have had problems with arthritis and degenerative disc disease in my back and neck for over 18 years and have had to use muscle relaxers often. I have tried Tizanidine, Robaxin, Skelexin and now Soma. My new rheumatologist prescribed it and I feel it works the best out of all the muscle relaxers I have tried. I don't seem to have any side effects to speak of. I need four orthopedic surgeries and Soma has helped my pain tolerance.

carisoprodol: I take Carisoprodol. It helps a good deal with my back pain. I also take it with Acetaminophen w/Codeine #3 which also helps a good deal.

Soma (carisoprodol): It is great. I take 350mg and only when I need it. I haven't felt like I could be addicted. Just relaxes the muscles and lets me sleep!

carisoprodol: Soma Is Very Helpful, i have had back surgery and alot of nerve damage in my leg ,complications of diabetes and soma is often more helpful than a narcotic, as long as i take the soma i never have the spasms in my leg or back, no other muscle relaxer helps me.
i by far recomend soma

Soma (carisoprodol): Soma (carisoprodol) 350mg has been the best muscle relaxer that my Doctor has ever given me and I have tried them all. They are not coated, a bit hard to swallow and taste absolutly awful but are very worth these setbacks. They don't upset me even when taken on an empmty stomach. I would highly recommend speaking with your Doctor on trying this medication as it has been a wonder drug for me. I take it with Tramadol (for pain) and the combination has worked better for me than Vicodin. Bikerhoney
