I miss my soma 06/09/12
Reviewed by:
Location Not Given
I have been on soma for years for my fibromyalgia. Once I moved and changed doctors, no one will put me on it. Instead I have to see pain management specialists that put me on narcotics and antidepressants, sleeping meds etc... I don't understand what the big hype is about. Narcotics and opioids are extremely addictive and they will give you all you want, but mention the word soma and they run. Soma haas been my life for years and I was so much more received in the eventing once I took it. I could sleep, and ease my muscles. I have never had relief since the day they refused to get it. I read so many people with fibro that still take it and wouldn't Change for the world and then all the others that have been on it and their doctors refuse to prescribe it anymore to them and we all have the same answer, it works! Shouldn't it be our choice? We know our bodies better than anyone, is no one listening?

soma for FBS 05/19/11
Reviewed by:
San Francisco, California, USA
I have suffered from FBS for over ten years, and severe for 3-4 yrs.
I find Soma to be about 100% helpful in most of my symptoms except for IBS, I suppose, hard to tell with that one.
Although i have used it for over five years I have stopped taking it many times with no withdrawal at all, only an increase in my FBS symptoms.
I have even had a Dr prescribe 8 a day and find that is the best dose. But the books disagree, even though Some has not been used in researching FBS patients, which I wish would be done.
We need all the help we can get!!

Soma works well for most symptoms 03/31/08
Reviewed by:
Nebraska, USA
When seasons change from Winter to Spring and Summer to Fall (I do not look forward to these times.), soma helps a great deal, a sanity saver. I do have to be careful because it can have a rebound affect if taken for too long peroids of time.

Works Well for Me 06/18/07
Reviewed by:
Location Not Given
Soma can make some people very drowsy, but I am lucky that I am not one of them. I have taken Soma 350 mg off and on for over 15 years. I take up to four pills per day as needed every six hours. I function very well, drive, volunteer, take care of my children. I do not get hangovers from this medication.
The Soma works well for me because it really helps with both my trigger points and tender points. It also helps a great deal with sleep and stress, as I have found that stress and irregular sleep patterns can be huge triggers for me.
I recommend it for anyone who does not have strong reations to medications.
**You can easily cut this pill in half when/if you need to.
**Never take more than one unless you intend on sleeping!

Helpful but not perfect 11/21/05
Reviewed by:
Youngstown, Ohio, USA
Soma is an excellent aid in breaking the pain cycleo for me but does little to help most of the other symptoms. It has been helpful for me with insomnia and doesn't leave me feeling overly hungover the next morning but I wouldn't recommend it as a daily treatment for pain or insomnia for an extended period.
