Can I Take Soma With Suboxone?

Updated

I am taking suboxone for chronic pain but having severe muscle spasms. I am thinking about asking my pain doc for Soma. I have tried Flexeril and Zanaflex and got no relief.

No, you should not take these medications together, Major drug interaction. It may result in central nervous system depression which can lead to serious side effects such as respiratory distress, coma, and even death. [1]

Yes. Soma is a medication that is taken short term, 2 to 3 weeks. If prescribed, take only as directed, increasing the dosage can cause complications, up to and including, death. Soma actually becomes Meprobamate in our bodies, which is a barbiturate. If you and your doctor feel you will take Soma as prescribed, it shouldn't be a problem for treating severe muscle strains over a short period. Soma is good for this, as Suboxone contains Buprenorphine, which block opiates from working. It is prescribed together, I have had it prescribed while also on Suboxone maintenance. It caused me zero breathing complications and helped relieve my neck strain. Screaming bozos reading medication warnings would have us use prayer for pain. No thanks bozos.

If you are prescribed both meds from the same MD or if both MDs know that you are taking both and are fine with it it should not be a problem as long as your are taking BOTH meds “as directed”. Both meds are prone to abuse. Bup is a partial opioid and Soma is metabolized into a barbiturate. People on Bup for opioid dependence or addiction should be especially careful not to overdo it.
