I have taken soma/carisoprodol. However, is taking SG 109 similar to Dan 5513? ## Yes, they both contain 350mgs of Carisoprodol, which is a muscle relaxant, they're just manufactured by different companies. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Are the "sg109" the same as "5513 dan" soma? They are the same right? ## What is the difference? I know 20% is allowed, which is ridiculous. So how is the "SG 109 white round pill" rated compared to Dan, Soma, etc.? Who makes SG 109? I know there are bad ones out there. By the texture alone I can tell. ## I don't like the SG 109 they have a different texture to me. and I don't get the relief i do from th...

HAVING UNENDING MUSCLE SPASMS IN UPPER BACK, ALMOST BAD AS A KIDNEY STONE PAIN YEARS AGO. WHICH IS BETTER I HAVE HAD SOMA,AND SOME PEOPLE SAY FLEXERIL.SOMA JUST MADE ME SLEEPY,ALSO TRIED HYDROCODON#5OT MUCH BETTER? ## Have you consulted a doctor? Soma contains the active ingredient Carisoprodol and Flexeril contains the active ingredient Cyclobenzaprine, both of which are muscle relaxants, so they will only help if your pain and problems are caused strictly from muscle pain and spasms. Hydrocodone is a narcotic, that may help with most types of pain and there are higher dosages available that contain 7.5mgs and 10mgs of it. However, only your doctor is going to be able to help you determine what is causing the problem and arrive at a proper treatment option. ## Soma is the only med I...

Is anyone familiar with a compound that contains Naproxen and Carisoprodol? ## Soma does not contain Naproxen, it only contains the muscle relaxant Carisoprodol. There is a Soma Compound that contains Aspirin and Carisoprodol, but none listed contain Naproxen. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and headache. ## Can you buy Naproxen/carisoprodol 250mg in the United States or Canada over the counter? Or is a prescription required? ## No, this product is not sold in the United States, but it is real and made in Mexico. Here in the U.S. you could buy Soma compound with Codeine or with Aspirin if your Doctor so chooses.

is there an alternative to carisoprodol 350 and soma 350 that is the same yet under a different name. ## Hello, David! How are you? No, you've listed both names for it. Soma is the brand name and Carisoprodol is the generic name, since that's the active ingredient. There are other muscle relaxants available, but they don't contain the Carisoprodol, such as Skelaxin and Flexeril. The side effects are also similar and may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and headache. Is there anything else I can help with?

lg. blue&white capsule-contains250 mg. naproxen and200mg carisoprodol ## This is a medication combination that's not available in the U.S., the FDA tends to frown on these combos. Such products are more commonly available in Mexico. You can learn more Naproxen details here and you can learn more Carisoprodol details here. It combines a nonsteroidal ant-inflammatory with a muscle relaxant, so side effects may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and headache. Are there any questions or comments?

can the above subject tablet be cut in half ## Usually if there is a score line (divid) embedded into the tablet, it means the manufacturer purposely made it so patients could easily cut it in half. Whether or not there is a score line, I would still feel safe cutting the pill in half if the drug itself is not in extended-release form. It is my own understanding that some extended-release pills loose their time sustaining properties if cut in half, depending on whether or not it is a capsule or a tablet; but please correct me if I'm wrong on that. Also, if you consistently feel the need to use half a dose it may be wise to talk to your doctor sooner than later about getting a lower dose of the medication. NOTE: cutting a pill in half only works if the pill is in tablet form. This ju...

I am in excruciating pain. I found an old script for Soma that expired in 1996. Can I take it without doing any harm? ## You could although it may not work like it did when new ## Yes, Eddy is correct, expired medications can be less effective than when they were fresh and new. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth. This is also not a pain reliever, it is a muscle relaxant, so it may not help you in the way you wish. Are you on any other medications? Have you consulted your doctor? ## Pharmacist are eager to hurt and not help. They have no idea what your medical condition is and don’t care. They are judgmental, especially if you are in pain and old. Maybe they should take an oath. “First Do No Harm.”. Hu...

## What is this medication prescribed for? ## Carisoprodol is a muscle relaxant. It is used to treat injuries and other painful muscular conditions. I am thinking it's similar to Soma (?) ## I currently take this medication and it is a muscle relaxer but also used as a sleep aid. It is the same as Soma. It's the generic substitute... I've had good results with it and no side effects except it makes me sleepy. ## It is the active ingredient in Soma, so it is the generic for it. It is used to treat the pain associated with muscle strains, pain, and spasms. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and drowsiness. Is there anything else I can help with?

I've got crushed vertebrae at T6,7&8, ruptured discs there crushing my spinal cord by 50%, ruptured discs & nerve impingement at cervical, thoracic & lumbar spine levels. Plus i have scoliosis. DDD & DJD. It's all inoperable. I've had years of physical therapy, been through pain management programs, back school & to multiple pain management Drs. In addition to spinal injuries, I have torn rotator cuffs, severe osteoarthritis & bursitis in my hands, spine and knees, and it's working on my right hip now! I'm 63 and feel much older most days.

My GP recently stopped prescribing me Soma after many years of successful treatment with no other changes in medications. I go to a pain specialist for long term injury and they do not prescribe soma. I've heard that the best bet for getting back to my previous treatment plan may be to find a new GP who would prescribe soma. Does anyone have any idea of how to find this out about the specific doctors or know of any in the Tulsa, OK area who do? Please let me know, I cannot take all of the other muscle relaxants I've been prescribed to try. ## Soma is and does many things but rest assured it does not provide "successful treatment" of any part of the body. That is why it is being slowly phased out ## I'm looking for a doctor who prescribes soma in Tulsa, OK. I have bee...

Doctors will not write RX for this anymore. I am allergic to Vicodin, Codeine all sorts of pain meds. Soma always worked for me. I sit with extreme pain; nothing works all = depression; never had depression till whole body turned into pain. Real, overwhelming pain; can't sleep; cannot eat; nausea from pain. ## There are better muscle relaxers than Soma on the market. Many Doctors don't like prescribing Soma as they have had personal experience with this worthless medication. With that said I am lucky my doctor will prescribe it, he is a great man! ## There's too many interactions between Soma opiate drugs and benzodiazepines for doctors to prescribe them as they once were ## I have the exact problem if they won't prescribe soma than the key should have something that wor...

Trying to confirm if this pill is Soma. It is round like an M&M and white. One side says 2410 with a fancy v. The other side is blank. ## Yes, this is Carisprodol 350mgs, a generic for the muscle relaxant Soma. (NDC 0603-2582). Inactive Ingredients: - Croscarmellose Sodium - Hypromelloses - Magnesium Stearate - Microcrystalline Cellulose ## It appears we gave up because the FDA turned their backs on us.i have had quality of life with hydrocodone and hermetic Soma. Now drugs have fewer of the pain reliever ingredients. The brands are terrible. Soma is very weak. I have had Siegen Ventus and now Method brand. My pharmacist is trying to help but they are unable to get brands no longer being manufactured. I guess I am hoping to hear someone has had better luck. ## PLEASE SOMEONE REPLY ...

Generally prescribed in place of Carisoprodol (AZ 266 - round white pill, 3/8 diameter) because of its lower dose and other reasons; used mainly as a muscle relaxer, pain control and tranquilizer. AZ 266 can become addictive, while Cyclobenzaprine not so much. Look up either AZ 266 or Carisoprodol or Soma. ## Is Cyclobenzaprine the "street drug" known as "benzo's"? ## That is correct, Carisoprodol is a muscle relaxant, and is the active ingredient in Soma. It has been known to be abused, and to cause addiction in some people that take it. The typical side effects of this medication may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, headache, somnolence, and depressed mood, according to FDA reports.

I am taking carosoprodol, with the markings; DAN on one side, and5513 on the other. I'm having surgery next week, and I need to know if this particular pill contains aspirin. ## Hello, James! How are you? No, that is the active ingredient, 350mgs of Carisoprodol, as listed by the manufacturer Watson Pharmaceuticals. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this muscle relaxant as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?
