I have been on extremely strong muscle relaxers for the last 15 yrs or so and this is the ONLY one that has even come close to helping me. I take the generic form and sometimes it does make me feel tired but that is a small price to pay in my opinion for relief. No, it does not take away all my pain but then nothing does.

I have been on extremely strong muscle relaxers for the last 15 yrs or so and this is the ONLY one that has even come close to helping me. I take the generic form and sometimes it does make me feel tired but that is a small price to pay in my opinion for relief. No, it does not take away all my pain but then nothing does. If I did not take Soma, along with other other meds that are prescribed for my condition (ruptured discs, 4 surgeries, bulging discs, and now arthritis from the whole deal I guess) my quality of life would be very low and I wouldn't be able to enjoy even simple activities. I am thankful I have a compassionate team of doctors who specialize in the spine and understand my pain.

This is the ONLY muscle relaxer that is worth a damn, unless you want to take something that makes you lay flat on your back like flexeril and gives you cotton mouth like you drank too much. skelaxin - can you say USELESS and expensive on top of that. I always find it humorous that the doctors who won't prescribe soma because it is "addictive". it is "addictive" becau ... Show Full Comment

This is the ONLY muscle relaxer that is worth a damn, unless you want to take something that makes you lay flat on your back like flexeril and gives you cotton mouth like you drank too much. skelaxin - can you say USELESS and expensive on top of that. I always find it humorous that the doctors who won't prescribe soma because it is "addictive". it is "addictive" because it actually WORKS without any of the nasty side effects of the other muscle relaxers. there is no withdrawal from it and it trumps every other muscle relaxer by so much it is immeasurable. put it this way, you can be prescribed opiate based pain killers that will leave you devastated and sick when you run out of them, or even worse benzos that will rewire your brain and make you feel like you are losing your mind and you WILL find out what hell is and oh yeah how about you throw in some seizures also. but soma is "bad" because it makes you feel good and that is a no-no apparently. insane.

I read some of the other 'posts' at the beginning of this thread. I am shocked and scared that people would be so 'uneducated' by purchasing this Schedule Drug that one needs a written prescription for from the attending doc and must hand it o the pharmacist just to get it filled.

I read some of the other 'posts' at the beginning of this thread. I am shocked and scared that people would be so 'uneducated' by purchasing this Schedule Drug that one needs a written prescription for from the attending doc and must hand it o the pharmacist just to get it filled. Wow! You can now buy 'control drugs' on the World Wide Web ! I know that there is no regulatory group that checks out the 'home-made' 'control drugs' available to purchase online. Thus, no guarantee that the first pill might be 50 mg and the next pill 32 mg, and then the next 65mg. My Goodness! The FDA does not approve of these pills and something that is so addictive is available 'on the internet'. That is a site that someone should check out. Remember, that is no quality control when the FDA is not present to be the 'governor' of the manufacturing process. Please do not buy your drugs that are prescription 'over the internet'; it can be tricky and dangerous. Would you allow a surgeon that you met online due your surgery for whatever is wrong with your back? Do you want the cheapest Surgeon, or the Best Surgeon when the time comes that you must have the surgery before you are paralyzed. I would not do this in one million years. Thank you.
