Nico Z asked:


The doctor took me off Durgesic Patches and gave me a medication called Soma (Carisoprodol) what is soma and does it have the same affects as a narcotic? This better not be one of those stupid muscle relaxers!
Well, I mean does it have narcotic affects? Why do they consider it to be habit forming if it’s just a muscle relaxent?

    What is carisoprodol?
    Carisoprodol is a muscle relaxer that works by blocking pain sensations between the nerves and the brain.

    Carisoprodol is used together with rest and physical therapy to treat injuries and other painful musculoskeletal conditions.

    Carisoprodol may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.

    What is the most important information I should know about carisoprodol?
    This medication may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Carisoprodol should never be given to another person, especially someone who has a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a secure place where others cannot get to it. You may have withdrawal symptoms when you stop using carisoprodol after using it over a long period of time. Do not stop using this medication suddenly without first talking to your doctor. You may need to use less and less before you stop the medication completely. Carisoprodol can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert. Avoid drinking alcohol. It can increase drowsiness and dizziness caused by carisoprodol.

    What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking carisoprodol?
    Do not use this medication if you are allergic to carisoprodol or meprobamate (Equanil, Miltown), or if you have porphyria.
    Before using this medication, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have:

    epilepsy or other seizure disorder;

    liver disease; or

    kidney disease.

    If you have any of these conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take carisoprodol.

You may have withdrawal symptoms when you stop using carisoprodol after using it over a long period of time. Withdrawal symptoms include stomach pain, sleep problems, headache, nausea, and seizure (convulsions). Do not stop using this medication suddenly without first talking to your doctor. You may need to use less and less before you stop the medication completely. This medication may be harmful to an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. It is not known whether carisoprodol passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby.

    How should I take carisoprodol?
    Take this medication exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not take the medication in larger amounts, or take it for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label.

    Take each dose with a full glass of water. Store carisoprodol at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

Cold or allergy medicine, narcotic pain medicine, sleeping pills, muscle relaxers, and medicine for seizures, depression or anxiety can add to sleepiness caused by carisoprodol.

    i read a book once where SOMA was a drug given to people to ‘control’ them and keep them passive. it was fiction and by Aldeous Huxley (brave new world?) or George Orwell,,, i think… it was a long time ago when i read the book but i find it curious that a drug company has called thier product by the same name! (maybe another name for prozac?)

    It’s a muscle relaxer. I’ve been taking 2, 350mg a day for years to help relieve pain from a spine injury.

    When you first start taking them they will make you a little drowsy so don’t drive until you see how they effect you. That will go away after a few days and you won’t really feel the effects of them unless you drink. alcohol seems to really amplify the effects. So be careful.

    I’m really surprised your Dr. took you directly from a Duragesic patch to Soma, unless you were on a Duragesic patch for a short period of time post opperative? A Duragesic patch delivers Fentany which is a synthetic opiate pain killer that is 80 times stronger than Morphine. Soma is a muscle relaxant that has no opiate properties. Though technically not a narcotic it is now a scheduled medicine in most states because it is widely abused and addictive. It does give a euphoric effect especially when taken in a larger dose that 350mg which is the only dose it comes in, and when taken on an empty stomach. Fentanyl and the Duragesic patch are a second line drug that are usually only used for those that do not respond to heavy opiates such as Oxycontin, Diauladid and such. And to stop you cold turkey is odd unless this was a post operative short term situation. If you find yourself in withdrawal you need to tell you Doctor that you are “requesting” to be tapered down from the Fentanyl. If they do so it will probably by Duragesic to Percocet, to Vicodin then no opiates. Soma can be taken in conjunction with all the above as it works at blocking pain in a different manner than opiates. The only way I can see this change in meds is if you were on the patch very short term or your Doctor is suspecting abuse of the drug
