"Soma is very effective as a muscle relaxant, and I sleep much better when I take it. No nightmares, just better sleep. Helps muscle pain and tension. (I have fibromyalgia.) I also have taken it for acute back and neck pain, and it is quite wonderful. The only downside is I swear I am starving when I'm taking Soma, like I never feel full. I'm sure I would gain weight if I took it long term. It also can be difficult to stop taking it if you've taken it for a month or more, the body builds up a dependency. Short term for me, though, it is a wonderful medication."

"I took this drug, as per Dr. instruction, off and on for a ten-year period. Please be aware, it's a good drug, but NOT in combination with: other diazepams, extra strength (7.5) Vicodin, Percodan, etc. It's considered a 'triple threat,' being found by the DEA to be a pathway to habituation and addiction. Suicides were above average for people taking these in combination. Just saying, it's excellent on its own. I disagree with the DEA. Short-term use of this combination was extremely beneficial for me, and I have, as well as many friends and family, not found to be the case."
