Can Different Brands Of Carisoprodol Work Differently? (Page 5) (Top voted first)

Updated

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?

Actavis bought out Watson. That is why they say the same thing.

We're they good? I have the Rx Watson (DAN) ones at the moment and not a big fan...was thinking of ordering online but was hesitant on getting ripped off

Eat something about ten minutes after taking your dose.

Hi Stephanie. I have used the Pain O Soma before. It is from HAB Pharma in India. IT IS GARBAGE! I believe they use mostly fillers and very little of the active ingredient, and that is why they don't work well. Also, they crumble when you remove them from the blister pack, or when you cut them in half. The tablet is a scored, plain white tablet that doesn't have any markings on it. A lot of pharmacies have this product, and most of the time, it is very cheap ($.04 - .60 cents per tablet). The brand that works, but is VERY difficult to find is Carisoma from Wallace. Good luck to you.

If you're that stupid to buy something illegally from a foreign country then don't be astounded when you get screwed. In addition to being foolish it's also very dangerous rather than to do it the right way and get it from your doctor. You have no idea what you're getting. Use some common sense!

Yes indeed they do! I searched 5 pharmacies before I found one that can get Qualitest.

Watson was purchased by Actavis which later changed their name to Allergen in 2015.

Do they still have the white round Somas (Carisoprodol) that have GG? I can't think of the number it has on it, but they were pretty good.

Yes I have been taking them. They are not as strong as a Qualitest which I liked much better. However, you can’t get them anymore. But the pain-o-soma will get you through a spasm or back pain. Start with one or two & see if it helps. You may have to take them more frequently. It depends how tolerant you are to Soma. Good Luck

I have been using Carisoma made by wallace and this Company is the Brand not generic Soma,because when I filled my script It was for 250 mg and the pharmacist said there is no generic for the 250 mg yet.So if you want to get generic make sure your doctor writes for 350mg in which there is a generic.

Qualitest are really generic and don't work,way to many fillers, they have a check mark on it. Watson have Dan stamped on it and are the best generic, mp stamped on it means it was made by mutual pharmacy and rate #2 as far as effectiveness ...stay away from qualitest they are cheap Canadian replicas and give me a severe headache, Walgreens CVS Walmarts carry them
