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

ME TOO!!! NOthing and I mean NO thing has EVER relieved my back pain/muscle spasms like Soma does and I myself being a disabled American Veteran who was 1st prescribed Soma 33 years ago can not find a Dr. ANYWHERE that will continue keeping me on it!!! Really sucks, it's not their GD back that's hurting!! Soma can be found over the internet via the "Canadian" pharmacies. Costs out of pocket but better than NOTHING! eh?

Wow Chuck, what Pharmacy do you go to? My Town Pharmacy caters to drug seekers, just a fact of life. Back to you, what did you do to make the pharmacy suspect you are an abuser? I'd tape it and then file a Legal complaint, but there must be more to this story?

Actually, your doctor probably knows that it's called a convenience store, not a convenient store. I think i'll stick with my doctor for medical advice.

My doctor has no problem writing for somas. The problem is the pharmacist filling them. I don't understand how when you have legitimate reasons,& script,how a pharmacy can deny the meds,because they call it"drug seeking behavior".

Go to another doctor. Explain to them your medical condition and that you are a grown responsible adult, that you have tried other muscle relaxers and the somas work the best for you.
I actually had a doctor prescribe me these when i told him something along those lines.
It is BEYOND mind boggling to me that xanax, klonopins, remeron, tramadol are all easier to get or be prescribed that soma it seems like and you can DIE!!!!!! withdrawing from the previous mentioned drugs.
let me tell you something, doctors are no smarter than you or I. they went to college a couple years longer, but now with the internet and information being exchanged so freely, you are just as knowledgable or moreso than your doctor is about the side effects of drugs.
just remember, if your iq is 100, you can take college classes for 1000 years and your iq will go nowhere.
there are lots of people who drive trucks, work at convenient stores, and mop up piss in public bathrooms that are way more intelligent than most doctors will ever be.
FACT.

I am taking soma and it is a narcotic and my doctor wanted to take me off it as well. but it is the only one that works for me. I think u may need to just let your doctor no that you wont abuse them and only take them when need be. In my case i take them to go to bed so i can sleep peacefully, and not wake up with my back and neck throbbing. hope this helps for you sweetie

I have ankylosing spondylitis. Other than the Enbrel and other such meds, what is the best thing for pain relied? I have muscle pain that burns sometimes. Sometimes just achy, sometimes tender to touch. Also, pain in bones, usually sharp, crushing pain. At other times, I feel like my tailbone will crack apart rather than bend. Please give me some advise! Most recently, I had an epidural injection of steroids.
