Sure you can take it together! It's just like taking two pills together - question is: should you take it together? If your body is clear of either drug for a long term, i guess maybe it will not do harm doing it once. But u may not feel anything because your you have to have the drug in your system for a short term to feel the full effects of your next or next higher dose.

Oh no ma'am. Soma's are a lot stronger then Baclofen. Believe me you Soma's worked great but they were strong. Soma's are in a higher rate drug then Baclofen. Take it from someone two back surgerys one neck. And got very addicted to them. Four years out. Yee haw.

@Sk8r00,
Honestly... people like you suck! Who gives a Flying f*** if this person just wanted soma and they're just seeking drugs! Btw try reading the whole post first b4 jotting down your personal input, and about the whole the "s" thing... they meant Skelaxin not the other drug you're talking about, and you definitely aren't any better than this person who posted this damn post to begin with. People like you make me sick to my stomach...

I understand your position. I was on Soma for a long period and with my other medications it worked, then moved , chg ed Dr's and the new doctor took me off soma, they are to be said to cause more irritation to the nerve endings than the relief given..........lol. personally at times I felt like an experimental subject. Good luck and I hope you find the meds that relieve your pain in a constructive and positive way. Myself, changed doctors and now we work together and relief verses side effects are much better

Sk8r00,
I have a lot of medical probs as well. Too many to post. Im 47 and had to leave my gov't job, which i loved, after 21 years and go on full disability. I want to throw out a huge recommendation for the spinal cord stimulator. I have had it for 3 years now and absolutely love it. I only had 8 stitches between my shoulder blades and 8 in one butt cheek where the generator was placed. It was a very very easy recovery. Only days and thats bc my doc said so. It works very well with my spinal cord n neck pain. I have 4 programs that i can switch depending on where the pain is from my feet to my neck. I have been on n off pain meds for years and took SOMA for 2 years. IT DOES MAKE ME FEEL "LOOPY". I hate that "out of control" feeling. I'm now on baclofen for severe neuropathy in both feet and half way up my calves. I have lost half my stomach n part of my intestines due to ulcers and was the last one in MD to receive that surgery (Bill Roth II) because it totally screws up your body. Now i hardly eat, i don't make blood or iron, have potassium infusions every other month, sometimes along with magnesium, im very anemic, have insomnia to the point i sleep about 3 hours a day, n the list goes on. I have a hard time absorbing meds so i still struggle with pain every day. The baclofen does help with the neuropathy alot...its much better then the oxy n morphine i have been on for 5 years now. I tried the fentanyl patches and did not get any relief what so ever. Im not out to feel high off of anything. I just want to be able to get a few minutes of relief. Just a few..... I hope you do go forward with the implant of the stimulator and get some relief from it. I surely do..good luck to you my friend..

I realize I'm commenting years later but....
I'm curious to what you mean about zanaflex being a "mental placebo" because of its "noticeable relief." What do you mean by that?
I'm asking because at different times I've been prescribed each of these for the same damn spasms. First it was Baclofen 10 mg 4x....a month later I said please just write a script for 2x because it was making me so sleepy. Now I'm bent forward & to the right trying to relieve pain from spasms & it seems like Baclofen doesn't do _anything_, & this pain is killing me.
Also deal with depression. So didn't know if you were saying that zanaflex (tz....I can't spell it, is the generic) helped you w spasms AND depression?
Because I have to try something new. I can't live like this.

Hate to break it to you love, but soma is very addictive and when I was prescribed it once from a work injury I had to show a valid ID because I was told it was now controlled. So as for making comments about refusing clonazepam, and other opiates because they are controlled or addictive is hilarious. Soma are very addictive, and people sell them, over take them, etc, as well. And that time I was prescribed, when I took only 2, because it said 1-2 every 6-8 hours I was feeling super loopy! 1 is fine, but 2 had me buzzed and laid up in the bed sleeping after the "high" wore off. Soma is extremely strong! People beware!

My doctor specifically told me not to take them even close to the same time. I was taking Soma and he had me try Baclofen as it is more recommended for long term use. I think the muscle relaxer effect was about the same but occasionally the Baclofen made me goofy to messed up! I stuck with Soma/ Carisoprodal. There was also a vehicular homicide here involving Baclofen but I don't know how much was taken.

My son is 16 and has the same thing, L5 / s1 herniated disk with a tear. He is doing exercises for his core and I was told it was genetic but I also think it's from his 60 pound amp, (he is a great blues musician) and they wanted to out him on neurontin and baclofen because he can not walk or stand longer than 5 minutes which saddens me but for now he needs some kind of relief as he has been like this for 3 months and it just sort of happened - well all I want to know is are you better? He's too young for this and I don't mind the muscle relaxer but will not put him on the neurontin because I know 3 folks who lost all of their teeth from that and one was 40.... he's supposed to do a cortisone shot and maybe some plasma/marrow thing later to speed it up but I'm so bummed because all he does is sit and it's affecting his quality of life.

Nice reply for someone in recovery. You find it "disgusting". I'm also in recovery and looking for information regarding Baclofen. I want to stay sober so I do the homework to make sure it's not addictive. If you find someone on this site you feel that may be a so called Drug Seeker perhaps you should share your experience, strength and hope.....and of course compassion. You must be new to the program. No need to bash someone that may have an issue (regarding the previous posting) I would have regreted running into you when I was getting sober 10 years ago.
