Carisoprodol, Why Short Term Medicine? (Page 2) (Top voted first)

What is all the hype about taking carisprodol when you have had 2 neck, 4 back surgeries and osteoarthritis so bad that my fingers on my right hand can't even lift a cup or glass??? I am 60 years old. I do take ms contin, and Xanax for pain and anxiety. I have been on these meds for years. I can't hardly get out of bed in the morning if I am not up all night with pain and gastro problems. I have Lupus and severe fibromyalgia. I had my left hip replaced and after that cervical fusion and lower lumbar fusion. The doctors went to town on me! I hurt 90 percent of the time. I have taken more soma than 20 qty. for 30 days (90qty for 30 days) in the past ten years. I went off the soma for 1 year in exchange for 1 more Xanax a day. Although my muscular problems still existed. Now my Dr is telling me that she won't prescibe anymore. I totally understand if you young and don't have problems like me and others like me but this is unacceptable!!! No wonder people turn to the street to get their meds. The government wonders why we have such a drug crisis. It's not prescibed medicine, the pharmacies will tell you when, where and how much you can have, the doctors will prescibe shots for clear skin but those of us that are really hurting, take our meds the way we are supposed to, no longer count. We are dying inside and out and all we get in the end is more problems. Carisprodol (short term medicine)? Not for me, I am already dying.

So what happened to your separate Soma reply? You never followed through, I was looking forward to it?

Wow what a great reply! When did the Pain Center days of Florida become popular. I was in the State until the mid 2000's and unaware of what was going on with pain meds, you should see our Cannabis stores. While in Florida ordered fresh Soma from a real pharmacy in Key West before it became a scheduled medicine. You should see my current doc when he writes for Xanax or Soma like he did last week, it's become this whole process for him as the C4's can't be sent electronically to my State a few blocks away, a fax or original is required. The obligatory talk about medicine is not about the medicine itself anymore. more about the ever changing laws and regulations which I usually reply oh, not oh no, just oh, my poor old Doc, I love him! I do agree what you mentioned about poor Sue's problems, again with these newer 'Triangle' warnings. Heck my Provider can't even call in a C2 medicine to my State which I gasped at, mainly because I don't use this type of medication, have some available if I needed, and if some was required I could just go to the CVS or Kroger in the state where the Doctor is. Nothing like living in a Tri State area, oh California is a PIA!

Hello from sue, I live in California. A person can now go to any cannabis store, state their problem and get any name, flavor or strength of POT that they want! This crap is turning our young and old people into sop-heads!!! Maybe I should move to another country! All I want are meds that I have taken for years! I can't get them from a POT shop.

You are not required to state any problem(s), you simply state what you want to purchase and pay.
