Methocarbamol is a very effective muscle relaxant with very little if any abuse potential.It does cause sleepiness which dissappears after a few days.All in all it falls under the pretty safe from abuse catagory.

The difference is in the active ingredient, they are both muscle relaxants, but many people find Soma to be stronger and much more effective.

Robaxin contains the active ingredient Methocarbamol and Soma contains Carisoprodol.

The side effects are also similar and can include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and headache.

Here's the links to more information on both:

Did you have any other questions?

I understand that the active ingredient is different I guess what I am trying to figure out is how they could be sooo different but be classified as the same type of drug,ie: skeletal muscle relaxants. Does anyone know of any other muscle relaxer that works as well as Soma? I have been through so many different things and so far nothing else has helped. It can't be that my body only works with just that one drug?? Not even Pain killers work for me ( I dont take them anyway but docs have tried) Any advice or comments would be appreciated. It seems as if I ask my docs these questions they dont want to answer
