Well a couple years back Soma was re classified as a schedule 4 medicine and many Doctors don't like to write for it. Funny thing, I have had 3 doctors since the new law prescribe me Soma, go figure!

Soma is the most commonly abused muscle relaxant, because it is so potent.

And Eddy is correct, it was changed to a schedule IV controlled substance several years ago.

As such, to have them prescribed on any long-term, ongoing basis, you'd need to be seeing a specialist, such as a pain management physician.

To be fair I posted that 10 years ago, and don't know about Tennessee aside they have strict rules for controlled medicine. I can tell you the Soma you might have had in the past is nothing like the SOMA sold today. You could find some OTC SOMA in Mexico. I'd check in your local area with your Insurance provider, or a Hospital for possible recommendations. Therapy from a Chiropractor has helped me a lot!
