Are they really taken SOMA off the shelf ? Or are the physicians just being more skeptical about who they are prescribing it to? I've been told so many different stories but have yet to find factual information. Thanks.

Can't believe u r in "recovery" 7 years & attack that person like that. U R nuts. Ever heard of "attraction, not promotion"? Who would ever want to get clean & sober if they had to deal with the likes of you?

You sir come off very rude and I do not appreciate the way you replied to these people. Nobody cares how hurt you were they just want some info. You don't have to assume and accuse someone of sounding like a drug addict just because they want to educate themselves on the chemicals they're putting into their bodies. Who knows, maybe this could help someone really know what they are taking.

Wow! Sounds like you're trying to help a suffering addict, clearly you aren't in a 12 step program or you'd be trying to help someone you clearly once were. Hope you aren't a drug and alcohol counselor.

I took soma for 30 years after a failed second back surgery. I decided to wean from it after it started to cause me to feel anxiety after it wore off. I think the ingredients changed. I even paid for name brand thinking it was the generic causing the problem. Anyway, I started to wean but realized weaning was not necessary so I just stopped. Problem is the muscles have tightened and the pain increased. I don't want to list my ailments but I have many such as RA,ulcerative colitis, hypothyroidism, diabetes, sjrogrens, and cervical, thoracic and lumbar spinal degeneration. Recently I could not sit on my right side and my doctor did not want to even x Ray it. My rheumatologist finally did an MRI and the results showed torn tendons in more than 4 places among other problems. I have had health issues since I was 17. I have tried many meds. I am now on norco and Ativan for pain and many other meds for my other problems. My doctor wants me to wean off telling me about Prince and Michael Jackson. I am me. I don't know their issues and they don't have anything to do with me. Doctors are afraid of liability issues. My doctor suggested I see a pain management dr. I did. He said he saw no problem. I was only on two pain meds. He said the other doctors are just afraid of prescribing these and not to worry. I feel for those in pain cause the trend now is to get everyone off. They say on tv that Americans use more than all these other countries. Well, I see it from my situation. The baby boomers are only getting older and more pain comes with old age and so naturally people will use more. Real illnesses need real pain medication not doctors who are thinking about their insurance costs and pleasing insurance companies. Remember quality of life. You can go around with your face all cringed in pain and be all irritable or be slower and more careful but bear the pain a little more relaxed.

I have been in pain for years and for a long time I was dependent on pain pills. Just because you have a "real injury" so you claim doesnt give you any right to degrade someone else because the wording of there post wasnt up to your standards. You should do some research. I know many young people "ravers" I guess your referring to them as. And yes they use Soma. Especially Soma, vicodin, and xanax all together. Anything that's an opioid works. Your not addicted to vicodin or soma, your body is addicted to the opioid or the synthetic opioid in the pill. And yes more young people die from overdose 17-24 age group by far. Middle age women who have legal prescriptions are in fact a very small percent ...So dont act like your a know it all. As far as jumping all over someone because you didnt like the wording of a post?? Really you need to find a hobby!

Sure you can take it together! It's just like taking two pills together - question is: should you take it together? If your body is clear of either drug for a long term, i guess maybe it will not do harm doing it once. But u may not feel anything because your you have to have the drug in your system for a short term to feel the full effects of your next or next higher dose.

To SK8R...for a person who claims to be in "recovery" u r way out of line!! What ever happened to compassion for the fellow addict!? What an a**hole!! U might as well go back and use cause u have a very poor quality of what anyone would want if they were led by your example!!! Don't forget where u came from!!!! People like you give AA and NA a bad rap!! U get it together!!!??

Well i didn't read any type of "drug seeking" behavior in that post. You sound like you may need to calm down there buddy. Triggered much? You sound super judgemental. In fact I would totally rather sound like an addict than an uptight always right hypocrite like yourself.

Oh no ma'am. Soma's are a lot stronger then Baclofen. Believe me you Soma's worked great but they were strong. Soma's are in a higher rate drug then Baclofen. Take it from someone two back surgerys one neck. And got very addicted to them. Four years out. Yee haw.

You are so right on your entire post. My mother is on pain medicine and soma for over 10 years and I thank god she has a Dr that doesn't want her to suffer. Why spend the life you have left in constant pain when you don't have to.

@Sk8r00,

Honestly... people like you suck! Who gives a Flying f*** if this person just wanted soma and they're just seeking drugs! Btw try reading the whole post first b4 jotting down your personal input, and about the whole the "s" thing... they meant Skelaxin not the other drug you're talking about, and you definitely aren't any better than this person who posted this damn post to begin with. People like you make me sick to my stomach...
