Pro Soma 500 Vs Soma

Updated

Some people state the pro soma is weak compared to the old Dan soma? Is this true? I just refilled my prescription of 600 prosoma for leg and hip spams. I need a med that works, tried ocaridoxen 250/200. It has not had an effect on me

Most foreign Soma is questionable. Always keep in mind that ordering these medicines are illegal

Soma is not a C-IV Controlled Substance in, I THINK, ALL 50 STATES in the UNION. It's inferior to the parent drug, MEPROBAMATE (Equanil, Miltown and many others). I've taken it and it's in no way equal to EQUANIL, MILTOWN or VALIUM. The pharmacist asked if I wanted I him to call my brother and get the "real deal". It is illegal to import Controlled Substances (and both SOMA and EQUANIL are C-IV in, I think, the entire Untied States into the US. I had a Licensed Resident write that script and another for Vicodin 10/660 in the wake of this tennis accident! I sent the scripts down to the hospital Pharmacy DEpt., and the ED said, "You don't want this CRAP, do you. Dr. Z, Dr. B for Dr. l will write for brand-name VALIUM and we'll fill the Vicodin-HP with any legit generic, such as Watson, and a few others. You make the request and 'Ill call your Dad and ask him to e-prescribe us a new scripts. I OK'd that. I think there only has been ONE case of Soma abuse, something like two to three dozen pills/day AS soon as I got back on my feet, I issued a directive forbidding my subordinates to write for SOMA or CARISOPRODOL on the grounds of lack of efficacy. In ur Exec Formulary Meeting, I moved to delete it under ANY name and that motion was carried by acclamation.

CORRECTING MYSELF: Carisoprodol (Soma) is a SCHEDULE IV CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE in all 5- states. When the DEA re-schedules a drug, the striker controls prevail. For example, some years back when I went to Las Vegas, I was surprised to find Soma a Controlled Substance. This wasn't the case in NYS. Similarly, a state can schedule a drug more restrictively than the FDA/DEA. Benzos are treated like Schedule II (C-II) Controlled Substances by the State of New York and we all know how opiates, opioids and amphetamines/derivatives are restricted.

DR. Joey, everyone knows that Soma was reclassified in 2012. You being a professional Internet Doctor of all people should have known this?

First, I'm not an Internet doctor. Second, I've never even written for Soma; it's such a weak drug on its face, I can't imagine any therapeutic use for it at recommended doses. Contrary to popular belief, we physicians, have a lot of other things to do than keep track of the scheduling of drugs we don't write for or recommend. Seriously. if I hadn't had personal experience with Fioricet, I would assume it is a Schedule III CS, since Fiorinal is; but that's not the case. It's an "Rx Only" (formerly known a "legend") Drug.

CORRECTION: This was so long ago, I forgot the epidote when I framed my previous reply. Obviously, Soma didn't make much of an impression — except for the literary derivation of it's name (from Huxley's "Brave New World").
