Soma (carisoprodol) In Oklahoma (Page 2) (Top voted first)

My GP recently stopped prescribing me Soma after many years of successful treatment with no other changes in medications. I go to a pain specialist for long term injury and they do not prescribe soma. I've heard that the best bet for getting back to my previous treatment plan may be to find a new GP who would prescribe soma. Does anyone have any idea of how to find this out about the specific doctors or know of any in the Tulsa, OK area who do? Please let me know, I cannot take all of the other muscle relaxants I've been prescribed to try.

Do you take Xanax or Valium ? If so you can't get soma with those two meds

You are absolutely wrong about Federal Law with Xanax & Soma although I don't doubt a State might restrict sales. This IS common with an Opioid/Benzo/Soma combination under new Federal guidelines.

In Oklahoma it's almost impossible to get Soma while taking Xanax. This is Doctors choice I think as I find no law that says that.
The Good news is I received a RX for 2 a day a couple of days ago. This is from the same DR. that took them away, He said since I've been on Xanax for 30 years he will allow it.
He has been very cautious since the Dea took some of his fils including mine. I thought that would be illegal guess not.
I guess every Dr. has their own set of rules.
I'm sick of the whole mess.

Cheek, you are right on the money, the Dea. has a name for the three at the same time some kind of triangle. Walgreens will not fill rx's from my Dr. At least mine. His office has a notice about walgreen's and Walmart

Good to see you Goo! You haven't created ANY forums, you have created a Post or a Thread, with mostly useless or inaccurate information. Add to that unneeded personal insults hurled at myself and Verwon

There are pharmaceutical companies that have discontinued making them in the last several months. I do believe it's like 4 or 5 of the pharmaceutical companies. There are still companies that will make them. However with the ones that have discontinued them it has caused a shortage everywhere for them. Most pharmacies are backordered trying to get them in. I don't know about them being phased out but I do know that some of the companies decided to discontinue making them.

Re: Goozer (# 27)

That's one I've never heard of two rx's for the same med and with Xanax, I have been on Xanax for over thirty years. You would think that subject would come up if the situation or condition was as bad as mine sounds like a od. waiting to happen are you on opioids and soma too?

Soma is and does many things but rest assured it does not provide "successful treatment" of any part of the body. That is why it is being slowly phased out

Thanks for those kind words. I'm on 2 Subforums here and sometimes visit their generic counterpart forum as well, 4 in all. I am not a "troll"

Are you on the methadone tablets or the methadone liquid each day? If so, how did you transition to your methadone? Via a clinic or through a Dr prescribing them?

What a terrible thing to say, that was a serious post. The Black Box Triangle warning (a Benzo, an Opioid, & Muscle relaxer) will not be prescribed by most physicians in America due to newer DEA regulations. Does this upset you?
