Which Is Stronger Soma 350 Mg Or Oxycodone 10 325

Updated

I was given a prescription for each, but don't want to take both...just one of the weaker kind since I'm not in as much pain as usual, which one do I take Soma 350 mg or Oxycodone 10/325 mg?

These are not both pain medications, so they can't really be compared as to which is stronger, since they are different substances that do different things.

Soma is a muscle relaxant that contains the active ingredient Carisoprodol.

Learn more Soma details here.

And the Oxycodone with Acetaminophen is a narcotic analgesic.

Learn more Percocet details here.

That's likely why you were given both prescriptions, because they both help in different ways.

Are there any other questions or comments?

Well it depends on what you want to take. Those are to different meds. Oxycodone is a pain killer and Soma is a muscle relaxer. So try one then the other and choose that way. You can't decipher which is stronger cause they aren't even in the same class of drug.

Oxycodone is highly addictive narcotic pain medication that's "Schedule 2" the highest level of prescribed pain medication; where as Soma is a schedule '4' medication with an extremely low addiction ratio & is designed spefi ally for muscle spasms... Try each one out separately & then make your choice of which is of more relief for your personal medical pain issues....

Actually, soma IS addictive, and can cause some intense withdrawal effects, just as narcotic medication can. If you have muscle pain, soma alone MAY help enough with the pain by preventing spasms and muscle tightness, but if it's another issue or very intense muscle pain, the oxycodone will take the edge off of it. However, is this intense pain you're having that leaves you incapacitated? If not, your doctor should not have prescribed a schedule II narcotic. Ask him if he will write you an rx for hydrocodone or tramadol instead for your pain, and if you still experience muscle spasms, add a small dose of the soma.

They are not the same. Oxycodone with Tylenol is a schedule 2 narcotic used for pain. You would not have refills on this med because you need a new paper rx for any schedule 2 drug. Soma or carisoprodol, is a muscle relaxer, and should be used for a short period of time unless authorized by your dr. I would call the clinic and contact the pharmacy. You would have had to give them more than 1 script in order to have the percocet ( oxycodone /Tylenol ) filled again. Hope this helps. Good luck and I hope you find some relief. Having chronic pain , as I do, isn't an exciting way to love your life ;)

What an incredibly rude thing to write!
A lot of people beleive OxyContin is stronger than most all other pain medications and this question doesn't surprise me in the least.
Milligrams aren't the key, but the medication itself.
Just because 100mg's of one med is higher doesn't necessarily make it stronger drug.
Ex: 50 micrograms of Fentanyl is stronger than both and has a lower dose.
Please don't make people feel bad about questions regarding what they are taking when they don't know the difference between the different drugs they are prescribed.
Did you push little kids around when you were young? Extort lunch money too?

Don't take them together Did your Dr. Tell you this... I don't understand why persons take it for what it's intended for... it's not a long term solution to your problem ,seek other ways to ease your pain...

My personal opinion on soma taking it short term like a wk. or two is OK but don't use it for all the time. Soma is not a good drug ifor ya use it for all the time it doesn't work anymore so ya take more which I've seen people do and they almost died SO BEWARE

Unfortunately, tramadol is one of the world's most horrible detox drugs.....Probably worse than any other even H, methadone, vics, norcs, somas, etc etc......and to answer the above question, cardisapol, (however you spell it ) is the same as regular soma. I was hooked on those long before they got popular! And the kick wasn't pretty. It's an ugly cycle, these drugs we depend on now that we're prescribed to get hooked.

Please don't play doctor. This is a perfect example of why you shouldn't! Soma is a muscle relaxer NOT a pain killer. She needs to see her own doctor or one who can explain the proper use of medications. Just saying......

I take Vicodin 10, Soma 350, Dilaudid4 mg, and 10 mg of Ambien for lupus and fibromyalgia. Soma tends to work faster and the Dilaudid will knick me out so I take both Vicodin and soma together because the Vicodin has no Tylenol in it.

If youre not in much pain, just take the Soma. When you do have pain, I/2 to 1 painkiller taken at the same time with the Soma, will give you the relief you need.

Sorry, soma is a muscle relaxer, NOT a pain med! BIG difference! Get her some over the counter hemorrhoid ointment at the drugstore, that would help her MUCH more than soma!!
