Very relaxed, euphoric feeling, and it takes my pain right away. They can be very addicting, and I am noticing that I definately need a higher mg after being on it for 6 months straight. | If you want a quick fix, this works. most of the anti-inflammatories I was on upset my stomach or had no effect. Soma is definately my choice for a muscle relaxant, it works. | F | 20 | 6 months | 1/11/2005 | 5 | For fun | a huge high. Confusion, dizziness, sleepiness, and slight tremors. Loss of memory momentarilly | If you were dumb like me and take this to get high, be very careful. Take two, and then maybe an hour later take another if you think its necissary> Do not take four in less then 45 minutes, you will have a mild overdose, and may expirience tremors, or maybe even a seizure. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS DRUG | F | 15 | | 3/8/2005 | 5 | cronic back pain | I love this drug. Not only does it help with my back issues, you also catch a | When I run out of my prescription, I do not go through withdrawals which is a bonus!! This drug mixed with the hydrocodone that I take really helps the pain that I am in. I am thankful that it really helps. | F | 36 | 8 months | 6/3/2005 | 5 | Post Polio Syndrome/muscle spasm | can constipate, can be mind altering. | I've been on soma longterm...I think, like any drug, effects are individual. So happens soma has worked very well for my particular symptomes. I do go off of them every month, for at least 1 or 2 weeks. | F | 55 | 7 years | 7/10/2003 | 5 | Fibromyalgia | This drug kicks in right away and makes you feel stoned for about an hour - that eases off though, and then it just works. | I just switched from Flexeril to Soma and I much prefer the Soma. It doesn't give me the | F | 27 | 2 days | 4/30/2003 | 5 | muscle pain shoulder neck | I wouldn't call anything I feel a "side effect" | I've been taking 350mg off and on for a few years now. A single pill doesn't do much but 2 pills makes me feel great. I'm a very shy person but with soma I'm much more open. I think thats why I like it so much. I have not had any withdrawal symptoms when I stop cold turkey except for not being able to sleep good for 3 or 4 days. I'm 44 and have tried numerous meds for my shoulder pain and soma is the only thing that helps with the pain and my anxiety. I love soma. I wouldn't call it addictive because there aren't major withdrawal symptoms when you stop but it is definitely habit-forming simply because it makes everything feel better. You also have to watch how many you take. Many times I've said to myself OK only 4 today and then after the 1st one I'm taking another 2 hours later. My worst binge was 25 in 3 days and even then I worked every day and was functional and just seemed really relaxed. | F | 44 | 2 years | 9/29/2007 | 5 | Back/Neck pain | None | I first took Soma when I pulled a muscle in my neck, and it helped so much. I take them now for back pain, I'm a bartender at a very busy bar and I am constantly throwing my back out. I take one when I get home, take a hot bath and sleep like a baby, wake up feeling great and little to no back pain. I'm allergic to codeine and I can't take most pain meds so this is a godsend. And use common sense don't abuse ANY medication people!! It gives you a peaceful, relaxed feeling and no nausea or weird side effects. Just take what you're supposed to. | F | 26 | 2 years | 3/6/2007 | 5 | Migraines and neck pain | Slurred speach, fainting, aggressive behavior, tremmors | If taken as directed, I have no side effects. Often times I double or triple the dose which can cause slurring of my speach and a couple of times I have blacked out when I didn't eat prior to taking. When mixed with other pain meds I only need the 2 tablets, twice a day. | F | 35 | 8 years | 7/12/2007 | 5 | back pain; | I feel calmer and more relaxed. I take two several hours apart. I get a good night's sleep. I do feel groggy in the morning and I think I feel a bit depressed due to it. On days that I don't take it, I don't feel as depressed. | I do wonder if I'm addicted to Soma. I try to skip it sometimes, but usually I take them because I like the way I feel. It takes away all my aches and pains. | F | 56 | 2 years | 9/19/2007 | 5 | Back pain / muscle spasms | little if anything, my back is finally relaxed | I have been experiencing moderate to severe mid and upper back pain due to muscle spasms after an injury to my LOW back (L5-S1 double surgeries). I have tried everything from physical therapy to daily use of Icy Hot patches and menthol creams. They work, but get tiring after more than a year of daily use! The Soma has finally relieved this muscle pain due to spasms. | F | 38 | 3 months | 2/11/2007 | 5 | Pain from Car Accidents | Makes me tired but that actually helps me. | Soma helps me very much I was hit from behind in two car accidents. I was given vicodin and developed dependency on it, I wanted to get off all opiates. I now only take soma and rarely regular tylenol. Soma saved my life in many ways! | F | 36 | 90 days | 7/15/2007 | 5 | Back Pain | If I take on an empty stomach, confusion or dizziness occurs. Otherwise, no side effects. | I only take when i have back pain, which is about every 3 weeks or so. Works much better than other muscle relaxants I have tried. | F | 34 | 3 years | 7/30/2006 |
