Flexeril is closely related to tricyclic antidepressants so if the drug test contains tricyclic antidepressants then you will show up positive, as for Soma, the only way to test for it, is if it is specifically written down to test for Soma, other wise your fine. There are forms of soma that come in the combination of codeine, soma, and aspirin (or Tylenol) if I remember correctly. I'm sure you would know if you were on that. I believe one form would be football shaped say Wallace, then 2403 on one side. If you’re not getting it from a doctor, look up the pill from bing.com, the same with the flexeril. I hope this will help you in time

nealnorman,
Soma and Flexeril are two medications in the same type, muscle relaxants. Actually, I don't think either of them show up on a drug screen for the usual narcotic and illicit meds, as they are neither. The only way to be found on a drug screen is to individually test for each med separately, which most certainly be cost prohibitive. Just in case you were concerned... the answer is NO.

I truly don’t mean to sound like a dick. I have to let you, and others know, you may have costed some one a job, or sent to jail. Please don’t speak if you’re not educated in this area or a medical professional.

joeblue,
I have a masters in nursing with a heavy emphasis on pharmacology. I have been drug tested out the wazoo and neither of these meds has ever shown up on a drug screen... even the detailed one done by my pain doc. I don't think Flexeril or Soma is gonna send anyone anywhere except maybe to bed.
Knowledge is power, dude.

Soma will show up on your drug test, but if you have a prescription it won't be a problem with your employer.
I have to be tested twice a year without notice and the soma shows up every time..
If you don't know the answer, don't guess, because it would affect a persons employment.

Soma does show up when your tested. I was prescribed Baclofen, but had no relief so a friend gave me a Soma to try. I did tell my Dr. I took it and had some relief. She told me it's a good thing I told her because it did show up on my results. She knew exactly it was Soma.
