Can Different Brands Of Carisoprodol Work Differently? (Page 2)

I have been using soma/carisoprodol for many years. Usually the paharmacy gives me generic from Watson or Qaulitest. Last time I got the meds it was manufac. by Carimax. It didn't work as well. Do different brands work differently?

I also got the same ones. They're big and chalky. No euphoric feeling. They just made me sleep. The ones that work better, from the blister pack , is Carisoma. Smaller and not as brittle.

Weird that they can vary so much. Yeah, I USED to have some that started with an S...Speer? And these Dan5513/Watson ones seem to be a bit stronger than the Speer ones. Shame that they can't just make them all the SAME...

ABSORBALOFF: I used to have the Speer brand Somas, and then they switched me to the Watson/Dan5513 ones. They seem to be better than the Speer, but I also see many people on here saying the Watson ones are bad...??? So friggin weird.

The DANS 5513 are the Best and most effective. I've never heard of speers ? What do the pills look like? Where are you located ? The U.s.?

That makes no sense. I have seen more people get addicted to pain medication, Oxys, Roxy's, loresets and morphine and Xanax. Soma, isn't that strong and J's extremely effective when you suffer with neck and back issues. They help you to relax and get comfortable. While pain pills just cover the pain but actually does nothing but creates and addict.

911HELP: I think it is actually either Spier or Speir. Yes, I am in the US. I don't have them anymore so I can't tell you EXACTLY what they looked like, but they were round and white like Somas usually are.

I've had to try Rising and Vensun brand since qulitest is unavailable. Taking 1.5 rising seems to do the trick. One is ineffective and 2 puts me to sleep.

I live in the U.S. and used to have a script for Soma. Now I can't find a doc that will prescribe any and it is the only muscle relaxer that works effectively.

Activas bought Watson. That's the reason for the pills looking the same.

I have been taking carisopodol 350 mg 2410 mfg qualitest, from cvs. Recently i had a refill, and the prescription of the same mg, didn't have the same affect the numbers on the pills were 949. They really upset my stomach and did not have the same effect as the prescription with 2410 did. Can you tell me the difference between the two? After 3 weeks i found 3 of the 2410 in my emergency pill box. The effect was definitely different than the brand with 949. can you help please?

Yes, there is a difference for sure. That's what brought me to this site. Was always given the 2410 with the V mark, but noticed a difference with my last two scripts. So, I checked out the bottle and the maker is RIS. Dug a little further and did a comparison of the ingredients. The RIS brand contains potato corn starch! Next round, I will pay extra for the real deal, not the generic. It's the gov and pharmacies way to wean us I guess. Pulled up my pharmacy receipt, where it used to show the manufacturer, etc, but that information is no longer available. Only advice I have is to pay more and not get the generic.

Yes absolutely. My preferred generic is Watson, which has DAN imprinted on it. Recently my local pharmacy told me they can no longer access it. that will be interesting because it is the only one that works for me.
