jac Says:
I've decided at my next Dr. appt to ask for my Soma back. I have a certain bone disease, and the only thing that helped the awful pain from it was Soma. I'm tired of being in pain & if the Soma is the only thing that helps, then why deny me the Soma that are completely legal? Enough is enough!!! If he denies to re-prescribe it, then put me back on Oxycontin 80mg a day. Does anyone know why so many people I know can't get their Soma either??

I was also on it, they said it can stop your heart!!! They just shut down my P.M. Dr. in Hamilton, Ohio and now It takes anywhere from 6 week's to 3 months to even get into one and I did go to one that WOULD NOT EVEN TALK TO ME, REFUSED TO TREAT ME AND WALKED OUT OF THE ROOM JUST AS SOON AS I TOLD HIM THE MED'S I WAS ON! AND HAVE BEEN ON FOR YEAR'S!!! I ABUSE NOTHING, I HAVE CHRONIC PANCREATITIS, NEED TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT, HAVE BONE SPURS IN MY SHOULDER AND A CYST, MAJOR NERVE DAMAGE IN MY ARM, AND I CAN NOT FIND A DOCTOR. Some one else that is in the same situation went to a P.M. Dr. and was told you don't treat pain with pain med's!!! I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PEOPLE THAT TRULY NEED PAIN MEDICATION, THAT HAVE NEVER ABUSED ANYTHING IN THEIR LIFE ARE GOING TO DO ESPECIALLY HERE IN HAMILTON, OHIO. CINCINNATI PAIN MANAGEMENT IS CLOSED!!! GOOD LUCK TO ANY ONE AND EVERY ONE LOOKING, IF ANYONE CAN HELP US, PLEASE DO SO!!!! THANK YOU.

jac, A lot of people have died from combining Soma, Xanax and certain other medications with opiates. Maybe your doctor thinks your Oxycontin 80 mg is too much to combine with Soma. Soma is a muscle relaxer. Your doctor does not have to prescribe you any medication.
If someone needs Xanax, they need to see a psychiatrist.

Gina, the DEA needs to be investigated by someone higher up because they're killingpeople who need their pain meds,even people losing their xanax after being on them for years.Excuse me if anyone takes offense to this,but all this crap didn't start until TRUMP became president...Why don't we all move to Russia?? LOL

Ruy, thank you for asking & responding. I'm subjected to lab tests & urine culteres & NEVER has either one shown that I'm not taking my meds'. My Dr. told me that these street drug makers are making some kind of "Cocktail " with Soma & Xanax. An elderly friend of mine was given a choice between his Xanax or Oxycodone, which of course he chose his Oxys. WTF?????

Hmmm, well I tried searching on the FDA site to see if there have been any recalls or advisories for doctors to cut back on prescribing it like they have done with other medications this year... and couldn't find anything. Did the Dr at least tell you why they were stopping the medication? May I ask what other pain drugs you are prescribed at the moment? If you mentioned you were taking Oxycodone, maybe they think that's all you should be on right now.

The DEA is taking Drs. rights away from them to prescribe any pain meds for people who are REALLY in pain & need their meds. WHY??? Because of all the heroin overdoses. The DEA is WRONG for doing this,they have no right to be basing the heroin od's to the pain meds that the Drs. are no longer allowed to prescribe because of this. The DEA needs to give our Drs. back the right to prescribe pain meds for their patients. It's a DAMN shame we have to live in pain because the DEA is wrong for doing this to our Drs.Who's with me???

@Roy, I am on a lot of meds & have lab work & urine cultures every 3 months. Every med that I'm taking shows up in these tests because I take all my meds. This Dr. just took a friend of mine off of her Soma, but she's only on that one med! I don't understand after 17 years, all of a sudden I'm hearing that all Drs. are taking any & all of their patients off of Soma. The question remains as WHY???

@jac, were you required to submit to any lab tests to check for this or any other medications in your body? If so, did the levels not come back as expected?

It's not the DEA that's behind my losing my Soma. My Dr. still prescribes a lot of Oxycodone to a lot of people who don't even need it!!!, But I can't have my Soma back. It's complete BS .... After being prescribed Soma for 17 years!!!

The US government is making it very difficult for Drs to prescribe all pain medication. Drs also don't want to be part of any kind of DEA investigation if the DEA wants to delve deeper. The DEA has all access to pharmacy records and can randomly investigate.
