I don't use this drug, but I have a family memeber that does. It is very addictive & I wished this never came on the market. This drug makes her have slurred/slow speech & very slow movement. Also, it makes her very forgetful. She is so dependent on this drug that she will get angry if she runs out. I hate this drug very much!!!

I had major back surgery overa yr ago and need another. Soma has been very usefull in my tx. However I did not know about it's addictive properties and am now weighing the pros and cons. I think I will keep taking it but maybe talking with my doctor about taking less or a smaller dose. It's hard to give up something that actually works very well.

I will say it helps my knees and hip area. I have found that different makers of the pill gives my pain a so so to good releif! I have had 2 total knee replacements and 1 has never healed right. I asked the doctor to take me of the Phentonyl(I know I spelled it wrong sorry) patch for the pain and he placed me on Loratab 10.5 with the Soma it has helped! I have been on this for 3 years. I don't like to be on medication but my pain gets to be a 9 out of 10 other wise. My back reaps the releif also due to disk issues.Read More Read Less

After major back surgery-this drug in combination with Vicodin and Lidoderm Patch are the only miniscule relief I have had-it's a good drug when used as Directed-it has been a lifesaver for me!

I've been on soma for 5yrs & my doctor has made me try other muscle relaxers, due to soma being very powerful & addtive. But when u have extreme back spasm's nothing works more effective then soma. The side effects can make u nervous at first. Dizzy,slur speech,shakey,tired,hot flashes,etc. But once ur on it for awhile you over come those effects. ALSO VERY EASY TO OVER-DOSE ON [CAREFUL}

This is the only thing that has helped my back. i have 4 bulging disks in my spine and sometimes they spasm and make it to where i cannot move-I start taking Soma and it helps. of course it doesn't take the pain away completely-but be resonable-there is no miracle pill. Simply put-this is the best drug there is for relaxing your spasms. i love that it has a generic and i get it so cheap. it helps me sleep and work 8 hours a day from a desk. Please try it, just don't abuse it!

I had a car accident when I was sixteen and had a broken back. Some times Soma is the only thing that helps when I lay down to go to bed or in the middle of the day.

I have FMS, CFS, Arthritis in my neck which causes painful muscle spasms that cause cluster headaches. Degenerative disk disease and a thoro-columbar scoliosis. I have been on and off Soma for many, many years. The only time I am off is when I have a Dr. that will not prescribe it. Soma works great for me. I am on 4 times a day now along with Norco 10\325 4X daily as well as a myriad of other meds for insomnia, etc. Don't know what I would do without my Soma and Norco as they help me lead a normal life.Read More Read Less
