Soma Addiction Information

Have been told that Soma, or Meprobromate, is over-the-counter in Europe, and used mainly for anti-seizure med. Any info?

REPORT

I believe there was some confusion involved with this post.

Soma contains the active ingredient Carisoprodol, it's a muscle relaxant.

And Meprobamate is a minor tranquilizer and anti-anxiety medication.

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

Neither of which are approved anywhere that I'm aware of to treat seizures, but I imagine there are some countries that don't require prescriptions, especially since Mexico will sell virtually anything over the counter.

Are there any questions or comments?

Is there anything I can help with?

Soma is a muscle relaxer too. I am on it through my dr. Along with loratab for my broken back. Doesn't seem addictive. I can miss doses or even days at that. You do have to show I.D. For it though, like its a controlled substance. That I don't under stand.

That is why my I.D. Has to be shown then. As any other muscle relaxer my dr. Has tried, they never did require I.D. To get. And yes, I guess it can be addictive as of anything else. If you have or had an addiction problem then be careful. They have never been addictive to me. I can go with, or with out. If I don't have them it's not a problem with me. Thanks for the comment though. And glad I know what catagory this is. That I never knew. But does make since.
