Tizanidine Soma

Is Soma a good muscle relaxer? Right now I'm taking Tizanidine which is not working very good. I use to take Soma but they were cutting that out so I just asked for something else. Is DAN 5658 any better? ## No Dan 5658 is not SOMA. They do however make a decent SOMA ## Cyclobenzaprine is a bit stronger than Tizanidine, but it really depends on how well it works for you. Soma is the strongest available, it contains Carisoprodol, but due to how often it is abused, many doctors will no longer prescribe it. The FDA lists the typical side effects of muscle relaxants as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth. Have you tried taking it, yet?

Was taking soma till my insurance put me on tizanadine 4mg once a day which does nothing is that a comparison choice? ## Hello, Annie! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. No, none of the others are really as good as the Soma. The closest might be Skelaxin, which contains the active ingredient Metaxalone, so you may want to ask your doctor about trying it. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I WAS TAKING SOMA 3 AT BEDTIME INSURANCE DOES NOT WANT TO PAY FOR SOMA NO MORE THEY GAVEME TIZANIDINE 4MG HOW MUCH TIZADINE I SHOULD TAKE AT BEDTIME ## Hi I saw your thead and if your ins does want to oay for your soma, be aware that soma is an inexpensive medication.

I've tried every other muscle relaxer Tizanidine / (trade names Zanaflex, Sirdalud) Methocarbamol / trade name Robaxin/ Baclofen (brand names Kemstro, Lioresal, Liofen, Gablofen, Beklo and Baclosan) Cyclobenzaprine, brand names Amrix, Flexeril and Fexmid all of these have adverse side effects for me and virtually no muscle relaxer efficacy= they don't work well or really not at all side effects, headaches, dizziness, lots more soma / Carisoprodol however worked very well, and I had to take small amounts so that side effects were able to be kept at a minimum when soma / Carisoprodol began from what I've heard to gain a little popularity with druggies. doctors quit prescribing it, and authorities, the powers that be, began to council doctors against prescribing it I was not ab...

My doctor has prescribed skelaxin for muscle spasms in my hands and feet due to osteoarthritis, it doesn't seem to help very much but I cannot take tizanidine because of serious side effects. (Hallucinations) I currently take Opana ER (10mg 3/day and Percocet 4/day) What other muscle relaxers can be prescribed? ## Hello, Toots! How are you? Two other options would be Carisoprodol (Soma) and Methocarbamol (Robaxin). The FDA lists the typical side effects for them as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with? ## My doctor decided on Baclofen. It seems to be working pretty well. Thanks for responding!

I've been taking the muscle relaxers flexeril 10mg 2x a day and or methocarbamol 750mg 3-4x a day. Neither of them work. What is the strongest relaxer I can ask my dr for. I suffer from low back pain daily. ## I am so much pain, and feel like i have tried everything, I just want relief. I can not move my neck. I'm on soma 2 tabs 350mg, 4 times day. is there anything stronger? ## i have had good luck with Zanaflex. (generic Tizanidine HCL 4MG) I use it for fibromyalgia which is awful pain throughout the body it helps to get some rest too. relaxes the muscles. ## I have tried all of the muscle relaxers,have degeneritive disc disease,two bulging discs.sciatica.and muscle spasms in legs and soma 350 mg 3x day has been the best for me,also helps me with the anxiety of the pain meds a...

Whst can I ask my doc for thst is the closest to soma. ## Flexeril and , those type of medicinces which don't get you high, but take care of muscle problems ## Robaxin and Skelaxin are also other options, after Soma, Skelaxin is most likely the strongest choice. Learn more Skelaxin details here. Has your doctor refused to prescribe Soma? Although people are frequently confused about it, it's a muscle relaxant and not a narcotic opiate. ## Also, you can try Tizanidine HCL or Zanaflex, the trademark name. It's helped me with neck pain from arthritis. Good luck. ## I have had all of the muscle relaxers only soma works for me and they help me sleep. I'm 64 and have used them since I was 17 due to a car accident.

I have an injury in my leg, multiple injuries actually, and I go to a pain clinic. They have me on percocet and morphine. Last night, Tuesday, I took two soma so that I could finally get a good nights sleep. I have a Dr appointment on Monday, but they want to reschedule me for tomorrow, Thursday. Will the SOMA be out of my system by then? I took it Tuesday, my appointment is Thursday. I only took two. Is there anything I can do to flush it out? ## I take Percocet Oxycontin Tizanidine Ambien and prazosin and Zoloft. My leg spasms were getting ready bad and I had some left over soma, will the soma show up if I flush my system with niacin 500mg. It's the flush free kind. All the other meds am not worried about. I do go to pain management and I also see a psychiatrist. .just worried if ...
