Is Soma A Narcotic Muscle Relaxer? (Page 4) (Top voted first)
Updated
dana Says:
My doctor has told me that that soma is a narcotic and she does not want to prescribe it to me any more. I suffer from chronic back pain as well as muscle spasms. I have tried other muscle relaxers as well as anti inflamatories and none of then do not work. Soma is the only one I have found to work for me without making me sleepy. Any information you can give me i would really appreciate.
Thank you,
Dana

Soma is NOT A NARCOTIC! It metabolizes to meprobamate in the body, NOT a narcotic.

Yes, Soma Compound with Codeine IS classified as a narcotic, Soma... JUST Soma IS NOT a narcotic

There is a special place in Hell for these Drs. Some day a distraught patient will hasten their journey, sadly.

Re: Angela (# 79)
Wow 40 years, 1982 was the first time I ever tried a Soma. I remember the young Pharmacist very interested in why I was taking this medicine? I have found it is much easier getting prescribed Xanax than a Soma. Xanax is evil, Soma is not! My old Doc does this whole comedy routine before he writes for Soma. When I was with Kaiser it was easier for the computer to approve refills of Soma before contacting the Doctor. I qualified for a free year of Kaiser, and continued to get refills of Soma for 3 years after my policy had ended, wild!

It’s not a narcotic nothing in it is a narcotic just because people oded from fentanyl and they also had soma in there system is why they say it’s controlled does not mean it’s a narcotic Google it it’s not a narcotic period..

Re: bikerbonnie (# 10)
I have took it for 30 yrs as well it’s not a narcotic they only reason it became a control is because of fentanyl overdoses some of them also had domain there system that’s the reason now they say it’s bad if you take it right there absolutely no danger at all all these addicts have ruined it for people that take there meds right and it’s the best and only muscle relaxer that ever helped my fibromyalgia ever that’s why I took it for 30 yrs I was discontinued after they made it a controlled drug and finally got a new Dr.. that would at least give me two a day needed 3 a day but he said DEA Woild mess with him so that’s all he could give me and the crazy generics do not compare to Dan Somas they work the best I know I have tried them all most of them are useless .. and weak…

The DEA and Congress Dems are the problem. Not the Doctors. The DEA is messing with Drs.. It’s not their fault, it’s the s***ty laws fault.

Re: Speedy (# 76)
I got sick of dealing with the opiate crap and went on Subutex. It works way better than opiates do anyway… lasts longer and you do not feel high, but that was never my goal. I just wanted pain relief and now I can not have my Xanax and very little Soma, but it’s better than nothing…

You're quoting yourself? Dem's didn't take your DEA Black Box Warning Drug cocktail away, but they are trying to provide Cannabis.
