| 1 | my wife was like a zombie always falling it ruined my marriage and scarred my kids for life | horrible drug interactions wanna sue them | M | 48 | 1 days | 3/5/2017 | 1 | Lumbar fusions 2x | My wife is addicted to this drug. She takes Percocet with the Soma . She takes upwards of 25-30 of these a day for 3-5 days until she runs out. She cannot function while taking this drug and has been taken by ambulance to the ER twice due to OD in the last 24 months. I found her unconscious and barely breathing. She was cold and gray with blue lips. This drug is so dangerous and addictive. | Anyone recovering of fighting addiction should stay away from Soma. | F | 37 | 8 years 10mg 3x | 10/29/2016 | 1 | Incoherent couldn't hold herself up her head fell right into her food bowl fell broke her ribs | Got it online | F | 45 | 10 years too much | 5/7/2016 | 1 | Herniated discs, spondylolesthesis | Absolutely the worst effects trying to get off gradually. My back and legs are cramping and my mind is mush, can't remember anything. My doctor says they are hugely addictive. I always took as prescribed and felt fine, but has been hell coming off | Soma should only be given to to three weeks for treatment. The longer you have taken, the harder to get off. Wish someone had waned me. My doc thank Doc is tapering me off gradually, but I still feel wretched. Get off slowly as soon as you can. My nerves are on edge and I'm useless at home, walking dogs and keeping up house is impossible. So glad I'm retired and don't have children to care for. Please take heed from me, it is no party feeling like this. Stay away from Soma. You all are feeling so good because narcotics along with soma turn into meprobamates in your brain (similar to heroin). That is why you feel so great on them. My doc believes the FDA is cracking down on prescribing the drug and they can shut down soma manufacturing and none of you will have it to take. Again, get off ASAP, sooner the better, do it very slowly!!!! | F | 63 | 15 years 350 4X day | 11/8/2015 | 1 | pain/muscle relaxation | Ever heard of Soma Coma? That's what it does. I used to have an Indian Dr (most don't like opiates) who prescribed me 2 350mg tablets 4 times a day! In the 1950's and 60's this drug was used as a Tranquilizer! Soma has NO muscle relaxing properties. ***USE WITH CAUTION*** especially when combined with CNS depressants.* Subject to abuse, dependence, withdrawal and misuse. There is a risk of overdose which may lead to death, hypotension, seizures and other health issues. withdrawal symptoms included insomnia, vomiting, abdominal cramps, headache, tremors, muscle twitching, ataxia, hallucinations, and psychosis. One of Soma's metabolites, meprobamate, (a controlled substance), may also cause dependence. *http://www.drugs.com/pro/carisoprodol.html#S2 Feel free to contact me with Pain related questions or other issues. Mr. Robert N. Davis | M | 37 | 2 years 350mg | 7/16/2014 | 1 | Cervical Dystonia | I felt like I had an "out of the body" experience. I remember walking downstairs from my bedroom and wondering later how I got there. This drug did something to my mind at that time and I decided to never go on it again. | I had a bad experience with just one dose of Soma and never went back on it (see Side Effects). Some people call the "coma-like" state it can induce, "Soma Coma". I don't plan on ever taking it again due to my negative experience. | M | 49 | 1 days 250 MG 1X day | 10/25/2011 | 1 | upper back pain | I couldn't walk, I felt in a cloud for 20 hours, hallucinated, will never take it again. This is my experience only. I take flexeril 10mg 3x daily and I love it!!! Just body chemistry and genes, I guess | I flushed all mine down the toilet and glad i did it. There are only two people i can think of i would want to feel like that, haha | F | 56 | 1 times 350mg 3X day | 9/3/2011 | 1 | Muscle pain | One did me in! This is a dangerous medication..very dangerous! | Felt nothing, like going into a small coma! Doctor's are idiots! | F | 35 | 1 days 1X day | 9/28/2010 | 1 | Lower back pain | Sweating, flush face, fast heart rate, slowed thinking, nausea | I was prescribed to take this 3x a day. I only managed to take one. Within 10 minutes I was sweating so bad I had to take my shirt off, sweat was pouring from my forehead. My face was so flush. My heart beat started to race, my thinking was slowed, and I felt like I had to vomit. I've never taken anything stronger than tylenol 3 when I had my tonsils out 10 years ago. I don't know why the doctor gave me such strong medication but it is too much for me. I don't understand how people can take these and feel like this. I was ready to drive myself to the emergency room cause I was getting paranoid. | F | 28 | 1 days 350 3X day | 9/18/2010 | 1 | back pain and spasms | This drug is effective, but dangerous. It's like laziness in pill form, and makes me feel like I don't care about anything (including the fact that it's a bad idea to keep taking more of it. Two nights ago I took 9 1/2 pills and ended up in the ICU. I also think it's adding to my depression. | This drug is seductive and addicting. | F | 54 | 6 months 4X day | 7/24/2010 | 1 | back pain | tremors, slurred speech, stiffness, difficulty walking. | mimics alchol inebriation, stroke. Hiding purchases, hiding pills, buying on-line. Upsetting family. | M | 60 | 2 years 50 MG 10X day | 5/2/2010 | 1 | Back Pain | I could not breathe on this medication. | loss of breath, couldn't breath much, I only took one, I went to sleep, but in fear of dieing because I was hardly catching my breath! Only took 1 out of a pill bottle filled with 60 at least. | M | 30 | 1 times | 2/3/2010 | 1 | I took 1 soma before headed out the door for work. About 20 minues later I noticed EXTEME fatigue snd disorientated. I was about to pull off the road when I noticed a CHP behind me. HE gave me a breathalizer (negative because I dont drink) and called the paramedics. After I got to the hospital, CHP released to me the hospital and then I eventually went home. I have court on November 3,2009 for a so called DUI. DMV even revoked my license! | F | 35 | 1 days | 10/22/2009 | 1 | Pain | Death | We lost my beautiful and only baby sister at 39 years of age to this horrible drug. She was not an addict, just hurting. I know of another person who died of it too. One day this drug will be yanked off the shelf but unfortunatly too late for her. I guess it stopped the pain for her but never for us. The drug companies will always try to hawk their wares regardless of the consequences and they have the money to fight you.. | F | 39 | 6 months | 8/14/2009 | 1 | Back pain | My daughter....hard time waking her up. Slurred speach, not being able to walk a straight line...overused. | Doctors who prescribe this drug over and over again should be shot. So sick of dealing with a daughter who is addicted to it. | M | 30 | 6 years | 8/3/2009 | 1 | husband used it for pain and rec | My husband died from an overdose of Soma because he just wanted to escape reality for a few hours. He had been abusing them off and on for years. He ended up escaping forever at the age of 40. | This is a very dangerous drug if not used properly. | F | 43 | | 7/1/2009 | 1 | My mom takes it for back pain | My mom has taken soma for as long as I can remember and it has had tremendous negative effects on my life. I have never known a mom without it always high shaky, can't talk,walk,always sleeping then up all night,or function as a normal person. I would say to anyone thinking of taking this soma or any other RX beware very aware because it is addictin and can change and ruin lives as well as alter your perspective of life. So use wisely and responsible. For the sake of yourself and your loved ones. I love my mom uncondionaly but she would and wouldve been so much greater. I am now 24 and possible to late to change my childhood so please take this into consideration when in a situation of temptation or medical prescription And always remember that life is beautiful and great all on it's own fake happiness and an escape from reality is never the answer it is always a dead end. PS This coming from a recovering addict of percocet, pot and plus anything else to escape reality, but now cle | M | 24 | | 2/28/2009 | 1 | my daughter does to forget reality She's slurring all the time and falling in front of my grandkids, I'm leaving in the morning to take my grandkids from her. No drug would ever get in the way of my children. She is stupid. I can't save her but I can sure save those kids..... MAD GRANNY | F | 27 | 6 months | 2/27/2009 | 1 | Back Injury | None | Could not even tell I had taken it, even at the high-end of the dosage spectrum. | M | 23 | 6 days | 12/7/2008 | 1 | Neck and Back Spasms | Nothing. Didn't work for my problems. Doctors used to up the strength and amount of pills taken, but it didnt work. | Soma really is not a bad drug. You seriously just have to not abuse it. Even so, I once took 6 at ones time, and all the happened is I went to bed. Really don't know why people had such problems. | M | 18 | 4 months | 12/7/2008 |
