Methocarbamol Vs Soma
UpdatedIs Methocarbamol the same medication as Soma?

It is Robaxin, a muscle relaxer. From what I see they are nothing like Soma.
@Cindy,
Both Soma (carisoprodol) and Robaxin (methocarbamol) are listed as muscle relaxers. From what I've read, both drugs also reportedly work in the same way - by blocking nerve impulses / pain sensations that are sent to the brain.
However with regards to potency/efficacy I'm not sure how they compare, so you may have to discuss that with your prescribing doctor if it's something you're interested in trying.
Hope this helps!
