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?

Ive received, not too long ago, Qualitest USA Generic Soma, V on one side and 350 on the other side of the pill and after 1 350mg pill I fell asleep within 30min and my back spasms subsided along with everything else. Works 100%. Sleeping straight thru the night.
IM SO ANGRY I CAN SPIT NAILS TODAY!
Then I just received Soma Generic 350mg, 60 pills for only 16.00 cash, no insurance or copay yet. Blank on one side and 2410V on the other while white powder gets on your hands. These are made in a village in India. Rogue River pharmacy in Rogue River, OR is getting most if not all generics from India. I took 1 and felt nothing, 2 hrs later took 1 more 350mg & hours later, barely tired, eyes wide open, cant sleep from the pain.
What agency do I call to report this? The FDA? Thank you.

I have also been on Qualitest Soma for years which helps me function with neck and back pain. I have noticed a marked difference in quality between the different brands Qualitest has has been the only brand that has helped me. Now none of the pharmacies can get qualitest and when I try to call Qualitest, I can't get anyone on the phone at the company to find out if they have discontinued it or what might be going on. I am on hold until I finally hang up. Instead the Pharmacy gave me Rising with CL022 on it and it does nothing except cause constipation. Great! I am trying to do research before I can fill my next prescription and noticed that 2410-V has the least inactive ingredients and these others Watson, Westward, Rising, etc have alot more ingredients including potato or corn or even talc in them. i know Westward and Watson don't work for me either. Does anyone know what's comparable out there? I see SG 109 is one I haven't heard of or tried. Its by Vensun or ScieGen and has fewer inactive ingredients. Has anyone found anything that works as well that you would recommend?

PATTI: My Watson ones say Dan on them. Why would it also say Dan on the Activas ones?

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.

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

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.

Where is your pharmacy located? Does that mean they are no longer manufacturing the Watson Dan 5513 Brand?

You should try carisipodol with Tylenol 2 it helps very well since I can't get my Soma compound with codeine no more from Sandoz from Princeton New Jersey. They stopped manufacturing the product in August 2016

Sciegen Pharmaceuticals 350mg is also like taking a placebo. I was just looking myself for an answer to this same question as I recently changed pharmacies and noticed a considerable difference. I found an old pill and after 30 min realized what a dramatic difference it was, obviously I checked it out before I took it and saw it was a Sun Pharmaceuticals 350mg. It was the first time in months I felt relief and realized what an issue this is. I definitely need to find out if my new pharmacy can order Sun or any other recommended brands!
