I don't use this drug, but I have a family memeber that does. It is very addictive & I wished this never came on the market. This drug makes her have slurred/slow speech & very slow movement. Also, it makes her very forgetful. She is so dependent on this drug that she will get angry if she runs out. I hate this drug very much!!!

I am able to relax and let my back rest. I have 2 children who want me to carry them sometimes and that kills my lower back. I have degenerative arthritis in my back. I have seen the x-rays after my 1st child and after my 2nd child-not good!!!! Soma is a Godsend!!!

I use Soma just before going to bed. It helps me sleep comfortably and I wake up without the back stiffness that I have been suffering with for over a year. Recommend Soma for anyone suffering with backaches so bad that it is uncomfortable to go to bed.

I suffer a great deal from muscle spasms due to my fibromyalgia, and also migraines and sciatica. This medication has provided me with one medication that controls all the symptoms which i used to take up to 5 medications for. Thanks you so much to Soma. It has vastly improved my quality of life and my ability to keep up with my 3 young sons :) And as far as addiction i can see how some people would abuse it, but those people are screwing it up for people like me who really do need the medication. But overall I have to give it a 5 * rating Read More Read Less

I was in a car that flipped four times. There were nights when i couldn't sleep at all from the pain. This drug has really helped me and its helped me to cut down on taking narcotics. I've been on lots of different meds from morphine to lortab and every know muscle relaxer in the world. For all those people who can only talk about it being so addictive and so bad, I think its probly helped more people than hurt. Maybe its not the drug thats their problem maybe its within themselves because as we all know any drug can be abused.Read More Read Less

I can't be satisfied because even though it helps tremendously, my family can't stand me taking it because I act drunk. I wish something could help without making me act wrong even though I don't know I'm acting bad.

Do not take Soma if you have seizures. I have a history of seizures and the Doctor didn't tell me. I had a seizure the first day I started taking Soma.

I am so tired of hearing about how Soma maybe the cause of overdoses and addictions. I have used this drug for over a year and it has been quite helpful. I have had a fractured hip and broken pelvis for over 5 years and tend to favor one side while walking. My right side started hurting and having spasms. I tried flexerol and Xanaflex nothing helped like the soma. If some people abuse drugs or become addicted they need help but for those of us who use the medication appropriately, it is great!Read More Read Less
