Avatar m tn Like most I have always had general back pain I had several surgeries a few years ago where I was in the hospital 2 weeks with gallstones that dissolved and part of the sludge entered my pancreas that ate a hole through it causing 10 litters of fluid to build up behind my lungs. They basically cut me sternum to spine that & used a rib splitter. it causes pain under my breast still. Then last year was in a car accident that caused bulging discs to hit nerves in my lumbar and cervical.
149087 tn?1258453820 The reason I ask is because my fiance tells me that the soma makes me a zombie and he has read that it (soma) is higly addictive. Baclofen is in the same sort of catergory as soma. If anyone can relate or knows about baclofen can you please answer my question or give me some kind of feed back?
Avatar f tn Hi there! Great that you are 10 days off the fentanyl! Congrats! I think that you may experience more intense withdrawal symptoms when you stop the Oxy. By still taking the Oxy, it has kept the symptoms from being too severe. Certainly, it is better to quit one drug at a time. You said that you were going to talk to your doctor about tapering the Oxy. Hopefully, he will support you in that. When do you see him? Try getting outside for a walk every days this will help you with the fatigue.
Avatar f tn I stopped shopping at VS for this very reason and instead am a fan of Soma. The ladies are always so helpful and can provide professional fittings, too. Congrats and good luck!
Avatar m tn hey maybe you can tell me what would be good to take for pain I had ADR surgery 4 years ago, since then they have been switching my meds around and I want to stop taking anything with Tylenol in it. They have me on 30 mg oxycontin, twice daily, 10/325 percocet 6 a day, soma 4 times daily and xanax 2 mg for anxiety. What are my options for the breakthrough pain, that is what I am taking the percocet for and I need to stop with the Tylenol already enough is enough.
Avatar f tn what was ur dose of soma before u quit? soma is usually tapered if high doses r used..and often peeps with a tolerence to soma also have a tolerence to benzos...sleep is important to recovery..phenergan is a safe drug for nausea that also makes peeps sleep..lil pieces like 1/4 can be good in the daytime for anxiety..not addicting and most dr's will call it in for a tummy virus sounds like u r on ur way to getting this done..good for u...
Avatar m tn I have been seriously involved with my girlfriend for quite some time now. In the past, she took 3 or 4 350mg Soma per day for back pain. Recently, she ran out of Soma and immediately began showing hallmark signs of withdrawal from Soma. (I checked them out on several websites and she was a TEXTBOOK case of this...
Avatar m tn X-ray revealed nothing, and I have been through chiropractic and physical therapy with marginal relief at best ( ~ 24 hours.) medications used include metaxalone, valium and ibuprofen. stiffness has remained constant, w/ a reduced ROM when flexing my neck laterally. I also occasionally experience shooting pain up the left side of my neck when i rotate my head in that direction. Neck remains inflamed and "cracks" often.

Avatar f tn My husband started taking soma for a month. he wants to stop. he only took 30 is he going to have WD? If so should he taper or go CT. also just to let you know he isn't taking vic's, but has a long history of taking them.
Avatar m tn Soma is a muscle relaxer. I am on Norco an was on Soma a few months ago. I have muscle pain as well as arthritis and nerve pain in my back so the Soma did help with the muscle pain. Now that I'm not on Soma my back just burns with muscle pain. I really want to go back on it. Soma works right away when you take it. The only drawback is that it will make you sleepy.

1714202 tn?1352672419 Hi there. So I've got a bulged disc with moderate nerve compression at c5c6 and a bulged disc at t2t3 with mild nerve compression, a straightened cervical spine, arthritis, and degenerative disc disease. With all that at age 20 I'm in serious pain constantly. My neuro won't give me pain medication because I'm a recovering alcoholic. He recently gave me soma though.
623065 tn?1275503695 If they dont work I would say try1soma but thats a double edge sword because u dont want2get dependant on soma for sleep.
Avatar n tn I have been taking Soma for 3 moths now. I have purchased it over the internet. (stupid I know). In the morning I take approximately 5 pills then 2 pills every 3 hours or so. I stop about 7:30PM and seem to sleep fine (sweats a little). It seems to be more psychological than physical. I need a good plan. My wife can not know neither can my doctor. If anyone has an idea of how to safely taper off without being too lethargic or anxious I would appreciate it moe than you know. I also take 1.
175688 tn?1297556647 soma is more like valium. all three are addicting, so really it's not a good idea to use it for w/d, in my opinion.
873758 tn?1239922590 to add...soma is not dangerous at prescribed doses for a short time...like any hypnotic or narcotic..
