Is Flexeril More Effective Than Parafon Forte?

I had been taking Soma 350 for years because I have six crushed vertebra and recently my doctor changed to Parafon Forte 500. So far it's not as effective as the Soma was so I'm asking anyone if Flexeril would be better choice than the Parafon Forte. Thanks.

It's my experience that Flexeril is better than PF (that's such an old drug, didn't know they still made that?) but nothing beats Soma. I've heard that docs are trying to get patients off Soma's because - besides being such a great street drug - IT FREAKING WORKS! Nah, that last bit was my rant. The Big Evil Three are (or used to be) Xanax, Soma, and hydrocodone. I was on those for years because they effing worked. My doc had no problems with me on those drugs but apparently the DEA did. And they brought the hammer down on everyone so they're going after those, and opioids in particular, one at a time. Oh yeah, they have a potential for abuse. You know, like alcohol and tobacco? But that's another rant. You didn't state if your doc is a pain spec. or not but if you can, you may want to look around for one who will prescribe Soma. It can't be beat in my humble opinion.

Thanks for answering and I feel the same way about soma that you do. It worked very well. But my orthopedic doctor is with a large clinic and the clinic will no longer allow their doctors to write for soma anymore. Probably because the DEA recently reclassified soma as a controlled substance. And like you I could rant all day about the DEA.
Thanks again and I'll ask my doc to consider Flexeril.

I have to agree, Soma is a superior muscle relaxer to most others. Taken as prescribed and not taken with alcohol or other drugs with bad interactions to it, it's just fine. Thank goodness my doctor agrees with me and I've been prescribed it for more than 7 years. I take 3 Soma per day spaced out every 6-8 hours as needed plus 1 Flexeril at night when I go to bed if needed, it makes me sleepy where Soma doesn't. I also take it with Hydro, Tramidol,Lyrica, Celebrex, Kratom. No Alcohol, no Benzos....
