Yes it is an addiction. I have been battling this for 12 years now. I have cervical dystonia and am prescribed hydrocodone and soma. When I run out (and I always do), I am not able to function due to the pain. This is a circle that goes round and round. They need to legalize marijuana for medical treatment. Tracy

I was prescribed 2 Soma @ bedtime 20 years ago to treat Fibromyalgia-related insomnia. It helped then and still helps me sleep. I've never taken more than 2, nor considered abusing it to get "high." Why would I? It puts me to sleep.

1 pill is usually 350mg, so 5.4mg isn't very much at all. I can't imagine that it was much of a contributing factor, unless she had some type of allergic reaction to it

THANK YOU, BEE!! I Seriously thought that I was the Only Sane Person reading this blog! I suffer from Bilateral Femoral Neuropathy. Both legs had nerve conduction severed during a botched surgery 4 years ago, and regrowing nerves (I've come to learn) is just about the most painful thing that the human body can do. I have been taking up to Four (4) 350mg Soma for 2 1/2 years now. I started it as an experiment with my Pain Doc, to try and find a way to cut back on my extremely large doses of Fentanyl & Oxycontin. It has been a miracle for me, but I'd never even consider taking more than prescribed. That is Sheer Stupidity. Most Doctors won't even prescribe Soma anymore, because of *****s who abuse it. Thanks for trying to ruin it for those of us that it Really Helps... I can't go back to feeling "spaced out" on opioids all the time. Get your S*** TOGETHER!

My mom died on February 13th she was taking some and other meds. I was wondering how many somas does it take for it to be fatal? Her autopsy report said she had 5.4mg of somas in her body, how many somas is that?

I would ask your doctor. I was recently prescribed this and took 350 milligrams once. And actually made me really sleepy but at the same time I couldn't sleep but I do suffer from a lot of anxiety and have lots of trouble .sleeping anyway. I ended up taking some Ambien about two hours after I took this Soma and was able to sleep for about 4 hours . Make sure you're very careful and don't take this with any other pain medicine before Consulting with your doctor. This stuff is strong and if you don't have tolerance to it I would not exceed 350 milligram dose. You said you took three is that mean you took three all at once if so I would not recommend that at all . At the doctors recommended time intervals. And help with my lower back pain but not the spasms in my neck. I can empathize with you about the pain and feeling it so bad that you just want to jump out of the window. If it's that bad call your doctor and get something else or go to the emergency room.

I hurt my neck. My grandchild was jumping o be. I didn't think any thing I bet it until the next morning and I had to continue to get worse through the day the next morning I couldn't move I went to the chiropractor and he gave me some somshe wouldn't of just me because my muscles were doing fine. I took one about every three hours and it just put me out. Now I went to my regular doctor and he gave me 40 somas. I am in excruciating pain and decided to take three not sure how many is too many bad I can't sleep I get comfortable and seriously I am considering ending it all because I can't stand that pain. I'm not really sure what to do at this point I don't have much part or help. How many is too many to take ahead At wh. How many is too many

Thanks for sharing your post. I was recently prescribed this as I read it was a really good muscle relaxer because I have bad spasms in my neck. I only took it once helped a little bit. I knew it was addictive and only wanted it for some short-term relief. I know someone else who had taken it and said it worked very well . Most likely will not take it again. So sorry about your friend's wife. Was curious as to how many your wife's friend took that it ended up stopping her heart. Not trying to be nosy but did she have a pre-existing heart condition that this could have also contributed to . that sounds scary as I know somebody who takes this also but don't know how many he takes. He's not really old but on the elderly side 60 I think maybe a little older.

Thanks everyone abusing meds and bragging/asking lame questions here. Thanks for making it near impossible for those who need them to get a script. I am lucky I have a doctor who prescribes me what I need and who works closely with me. But if I have to switch doctors or the law changes, I and other poor souls are going to be hurting when the doctor is to afraid to prescribe these meds because of stories like these. And you are afraid even a little bit that your loved one has overdosed call 911 or poison control.

The guy doling out the soma to his wife is a control freak. She gets off on soma, and YOU get off on controlling her life! GET YOUR OWN PROGRAM MAN, IT IS CALLED ALANON!

I used to take soma and overdosed numerous times. I have been taken from one hospital to another by helicopter. I was taking 240 per week. It is the most dangerous medication I have ever seen. I made it so I was banned it couldn't be prescribed to me every again. I did that on purpose, because I liked the high so much that I would not have been able to stop unless I asked my doctor to nab them. You have every right to be concerned about your friend. If I were you I would at least call your friend doctors office and tell them. You wouldn't be asking for info on your friend, which you must tell them you are not interested in that part. You just simply are calling to say something to save your friend life. If you don't your friend could die.
