I was switched to backlafen from soma's, what are the difference an what are the ingredients? ## They look just like a Soma. I wouldn't like them? Baclofen can also be used to treat hiccups.[3] ## Hello, Lucy! How are you? Baclofen is the active ingredient, so what you've received is a generic. It is also classified by the FDA as a muscle relaxant. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. The scheduling of Soma was recently changed, since it is commonly abused, so many doctors no longer want to prescribe it and are swathing their patients to alternatives. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have been changed out the same. They are higher on my co pay than somas. They do not work at all. My husbands doctor still wrights...

He is really old, very funny. Just prescribed me 90 Soma with 5 refills. That is 540 SOMA when others can't get their Doc to write for SOMA at all. ## What is his name is he in Oregon ? ## He should be in Oregon. Just a "County" Doctor in a small Rural area near Vegas. ## Do you know his name? Thank you so veryuch ## Well yes I know his name, really don't want to post it here but I did want to dispel the myth that Doctors are not writing for SOMA or it can't be refilled... I have found Doctors who hate the drug because they might have had personal experience with it and know it does not really have much therapeutic value. On the other hand it makes you feel better and doctors know that as well. By developing a working relationship with your provider over time is the ...

When I first started taking Soma I would get a great feeling from it, now I take it and nothing!! What causes this? ## Aren't all meds like this to some degree? Soma is addictive and we become very tolerant of it. I wish I could try the old Miltown but Doctors just laugh when you mention it! ## Hello, Cassie! How are you? When you got a great feeling from it, that was just a side effect and they usually wear off after awhile, as your body gets used to the medication. It is completely normal for that to happen and trying to get those pleasant feelings back again is what leads many to abuse a medication, since they have to keep taking more and more of it to get them back. Soma actually isn't addictive, it is just a muscle relaxant, though. Is there anything else I can help with? #...

I am a 60 year old female. I was in a roll-over car accident in 1973, just before my 19th birthday. I spent 3 weeks in the hospital in traction. Every so often the pain would drive me to seek medical treatment. This went on for more than 30 years. I've tried just about everything to alleviate the agony, even an epidural about 20 years ago. 4 1/2 years ago I found a pm dr. She was a total b****. After 3 years, my drug panel was positive for thc once & told me "I'd be more than happy to wean you off your meds & you can have your street drugs". In CA, medicinal marijuana is legal, but remains a federal crime. After leaving her, I found another pm dr. I jumped from the frying pan into the fire. The dr I chose is worse! I've been seeing him for 18 months. I really...

There is positive evidence of human fetal risk during pregnancy. Diclofenac 50 mg is not subject to the Controlled Substances Act.

Muscle relaxer Cor 103 ## I have taken Soma/Carosoprodol 350 mg X 4 a day for 5 years. They do very little but relieve nureuthopy (spl). However, I recently got a prescription for Soma cor 103 and they messed me up. I am not taking them. All the other brands act the same, but this cor 103 acts more like a narcotic, and I do not take narcotics. ## Yes, COR 103 is Carisoprodol 350mgs, a generic for Soma. So not a narcotic at all. However, the reason it could be causing you to feel that way is the real nature of generic drugs and the laws that control the making of them. In truth, generic drugs are allowed to differ, in the ACTIVE ingredient, from their name brand counterparts by as much as PLUS or MINUS 20%. In addition, it DOES NOT necessarily have to be the same exact active ingredient ...

I have really bad pain and stiffness in my neck due to curvature of my spine. I was taking percocets and soma for it. Im in so much pain i cant do everyday tasks..anyone in area of oakland,macomb or wayne county in michigan.. ## Opioids are not the answer for Spinal pain, and SOMA is not the answer for anything, although it does make you feel better! I would think you will have a real hard time obtaining these medicines, especially together anywhere? ## Hello, Ouch76! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're in pain. Eddy has valid points and thanks go out to him, once again. :-) In many cases, opiates can cause joint inflammation and make spinal pain worse. It happened to me with Morphine, when I was on pain management for several years, it also caused problems with my wrists an...

what kind of pill is a round, white pill that is blank on one side and the other side has some sort of design on it. the design is hard to see what it is suppose to be; kind of looks like a weird flower or sketch; it is etched into the pill; the pill is similar in size to a soma but thicker. any help would be appreciated in identifying this. ## Prescription Medicine should have a number on it. If there is no number identifying the pill you don't have Soma and it could be anything. Throw it away! ## Hi Lee, From what you're describing, the imprint strikes me as being some sort of illicit party drug such as molly, since these pills are often known to have similar designs. However Eddy stands correct in that it could very well be anything given the type of marking it has, which doe...

I took 1 soma 2 weeks ago. Will it show up in a hair follicle test? ## A hair drug test is meant to show consistent use over time. A 1.5 inch sample of hair, cut at the scalp line, will go back 90 days. That small amount of soma would not show up in a hair drug test. Also most labs don't test for soma anyway. You should be good to go.

are soma scripts no longer being filled at this store for long term costumers on same meds same md group for years in las vegas NV? WALMART PHARMACEYS ## I noticed something very interesting when I had my final soma & Xanax refill filled at my local pharmacy. The price was only 57 cents and 62 cents, usually about $2 with my good insurance and my pharmacy is loosing money on me. I was kindly asked not to return for this and possibly other medications. This happening at a time we hear all generic meds are going through the roof. One way for the pharmacy to stop filling questionable meds?

I need a doctor that will prescribe me vicidon hp and soma I have had a few disc removed that were in may pcs !

Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year by the DEA, you'll need to see a pain management specialist, now. A general practitioner won't be able to prescribe them. Vicodin is listed by the FDA as being a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

So how many of these do i take thought they were vicoden need some relief I am prescribed somas but out so how many to I take to do the same as somas ## Hello, Suzie! How are you? This tablet is listed as containing 750mgs of Methocarbamol, which is also classified by the FDA as a muscle relaxant. Typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth. You shouldn't take more than has been prescribed by your doctor, that's usually either one tablet every 6 hours, or one every 8 hours, depending on the condition being treated. Is there anything else I can help with?

supposed to be generic soma 350mg, 446 on one side, nothing on other, round white pill ## Sorry, not listing for Soma under that description, which leads me to seriously doubt that identification. ## this has been identified by the pharmacy as generic soma ## google says this might be oxycontin ## Yup..This is an Indian Generic Version of Carisoprodol aka Soma..Skeletal Muscle Relaxant 350 mg ## this is NOT oxycontin, this IS soma 350mg google is wrong!!!! medical for 20 yrs. ## I’ve taken regular old SOMA 350 mg for years and I’m fine with it and know exactly how it reacts with my system.

Took 1/4 soma three times a day (FIRST TIME)also 5-325 3×day and 1 ambien 10mg at night. Since taking small amount of soma I had a couple anxitey attack with blood pressure and BP up. Could this be due to the soma, I hope so and nothing else ## What was this 5-325 medicine? Was this under the supervision of a Doctor or just medicine you have collected from others? Yes mixing assorted medicine can make your condition(s) worse ## Hello, Izzy! How are you? I'm sorry about what happened. How high was your blood pressure? According to the FDA, Ambien has been known to cause the symptoms you've described, along with funny taste in mouth, hallucinations and sleep actions. But, as Eddy stated, the mixing could also have caused it. And, as he also asked, what 5/325 medication did yo...

Purchased soma and tramadol on vaca in costa rica about 6 months ago. I just found two large white round pills scored on one side with no markings. They are not chalky feeling. I don't know if they are the tramadol or soma. ## Insane to smuggle illegal non U.S. prescribed medicine back into the U.S. Was it over a 90 day supply? ## @bingobear, That's quite a risk you took. Glad to hear you're still with us and not approached by U.S. Customs. However speaking of the foreign tablets... if they don't possess any markings/imprints, unfortunately your guess is as good as anyone else's. Whether they're chalky or not probably wont reflect whatever active ingredient it's made up of, since manufacturers these days add a variety of binders/fillers for bulking it up. If ...
