Aspirin / carisoprodol "I cracked 3 spinous processes of my cervical spine, treatment for my injury was pain management for muscular neck pain. I was pleased with Soma. I was relieved of pain, and as a bonus, felt tipsy. I soon noticed problems with my nerves that uncontrollably affected my speech. I was uncomfortable with this, and I stopped taking them. I then learned that Soma works exclusively via the central nervous system and anything that affects the CNS (all things brain and nerves), such as the chronic, long-time use of Soma, will, in the best case scenarios, may cause permanent damage! Understand that although it is not a controlled substance, the propensity for abuse is high. The effects are intoxicating, yet cannot be detected through urinalysis. My advice is to know yourself and understand your pain, educate yourself on how a medication works, and be conscious of their effects. Soma is great for emergencies but seek other options if you need to take something for any length of time."

"I had low back pain, and this was the first line of defense my doctor used. I was unable to work when I took the medication as prescribed (3 times daily). This is a very strong RX, even stronger than Hydrocodone 10 mg (3 times daily), which you also can’t use while working, much less drive home."

Aspirin / carisoprodol "I don’t know why they discontinued Soma. It helped me a long time ago when I couldn’t stand straight or lay down. These other rubbish relaxants suck. I’m in so much pain and stiff, they won’t prescribe it. I know it helped years ago."

Aspirin / carisoprodol "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."

Aspirin / carisoprodol "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."

Aspirin / carisoprodol "Works great, however, high abuse potential. Very difficult to get doctors to prescribe it anymore. Almost impossible, actually. I finally found an online doctor that would write it, and I get tremendous relief from it. Unfortunately, because of its abuse potential, I expect it to be eventually taken off the market."
