"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."

"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."

"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."
