How Many Flexeril Are Equivalent To Soma

Updated

I have run out of my soma prescription. I usually take 2-3 at a time. How many 10mg flexeril would be an equivalent dosage?

From what I could gather, Soma is definitely considered to be the stronger of the two. However, since both medications can effect each person differently and I don't know your pain tolerance, medical history, etc, it would be unethical for anyone other than your doctor to try and tell you how much you should be taking to ease your pain.

Your heart is a muscle too. I personally wouldn't feel comfortable taking so much of a powerful muscle relaxer before resorting to other pain management options. They say "Soma Coma" has become a new term due to its potency.

Have you asked your doctor about setting up a dosing schedule for Flexeril? They usually do this at the time they hand you the script, so I find it odd that you didn't receive any instructions at all.

You didn't provide the dosage of the Soma you take in order for anyone to provide you with an accurate answer.

But regardless of the dosage, it is very dangerous to take that many at a time. You are putting yourself at risk of overdose.

And neither of these medications are analgesics, so they will not work to relieve pain like an analgesic would.

These are both just muscle relaxants that are meant to ease the pain associated with muscle sprains, strains and spasms.

You can learn more Soma details here and you can learn more Flexeril details here.

Is your doctor aware that you take that many?

Wow, what does your Doctor say about you taking that many Soma's at one time? I'm rather blunt when it comes to prescription drug abuse. I feel bad for legit Chronic Pain suffers that don't abuse their medications, and take them as prescribed. Legit pain suffers who follow their Doctors orders are often hurt and labeled because of people that totally abuse their prescription medications give all of us a bad name. If Soma is not prescribed to you and you don't know how many pills that a Dr. Prescribes, it's usually one 350mg Soma up to 3-4 times a day spread out through the day at least 6 hours a part as needed. Flexril is normally prescribed as one 10mg pill 3-4 times a day to be taken every 4-6 hours as needed. I have seen a few obese patients prescribed a slighly higher dose because of their weight and overall size. They also make 15mg extended release pills. I'm quoting common realistic doses, if you value your life and organs then I recommend that you work with a Doctor to come up with a game plan to get your pain under control and to quit taking overdosing quantities of Soma or any other medication. I truly feel for you and truly appreciate your honesty on what you're currently taking. Please be careful.
