Good question for your Dr, if you got the Soma online I wouldn't mess with it, especially recently with the recent crackdown much of what's coming out of India is garbage. You may already know Depakote can produce Valporic acid which will kill your liver. Your liver takes quite a hit when you take pills, and pills with tylenol make this more of a danger. I do not believe the Tramadol and Soma mixed would hurt you, but along with the other meds you're on I would not screw around, ask a real Dr or better yet, don't experiment.

From what I found it looks like you can but beware of drowsiness. Is there any other name for Soma that you could check on this site under the "interactions checker." If not you may want to just double check with your pharmacist.

Sorry, I checked the interaction checker and it came up this time. It's a moderate risk to CNS.

Below is from Wikipedia;
Central nervous system depression or CNS depression refers to physiological depression of the central nervous system that can result in decreased rate of breathing, decreased heart rate, and loss of consciousness possibly leading to coma or death. CNS depression often results from the use of depressant drugs such as alcohol, opioids, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, general anesthetics, and anticonvulsants such as valproate semisodium used to treat epilepsy. Drug overdose is often caused by combining two or more depressant drugs, although overdose is certainly possible by consuming a large dose of one depressant drug. CNS depression can also be caused by the accidental or intentional inhaling of certain volatile chemicals such as Butanone (contained in Plastic Cement).
Other common causes of CNS depression are metabolic disturbances, such as hypoglycaemia.
CNS depression is treated within a hospital setting by maintaining breathing and circulation. Individuals with reduced breathing may be given supplemental oxygen, while individuals who are not breathing can be ventilated with bag valve mask ventilation or by mechanical ventilation with a respirator. Sympathomimetic drugs may be used to attempt to stimulate cardiac output in order to maintain circulation. CNS Depression caused by certain drugs may respond to treatment with an antidote.
