For Muscle Spasm "I am glad that it has helped so many people. When I was 12, doctors gave it to my grandmother, who was raising me, and a few months later, my grandfather died and she was very depressed. I guess when I was at school, she started taking her medicines like crazy, and after that, she never stopped. I am 25 now and she is finally off Soma. She was very addicted for the past 11 years and I must say I am happy to have my grandmother back to normal. Glad everyone takes this medication as directed. Don't ever attempt to take more than directed."

For Muscle Spasm "I love Soma. I used to have really bad spasms down my back at night when I would lay on my side. When I take Soma at night with some opiates, I sleep so well and have no spasms at all. I would recommend this medicine to anyone. Just be careful about addiction."

For Muscle Spasm "This med is flat out dangerous. I'm prescribed Xanax 1 mg three times daily. DO NOT MIX THESE TWO. I was on both carisoprodol and Xanax and I had not one but two overdoses accidentally - not on purpose. I literally was airlifted to two different hospitals within a month and a half. This is a great medication for its intended purpose, however, it is extremely addicting. It should be labeled schedule 2 in my opinion as to the danger this medication holds when taken with another CNS. I also suffer from panic disorder and anxiety."
