*I have been taking Soma for about twenty five years.  I take it for muscle spasms in my lower back.  I was hit by a car while crossing the street, and a drunk driver hit me.  I could not walk for two weeks while in the hospital.  The spasms are very painful and cause me to walk hunched over.  I can not function at home or at work unless I take the Soma. The cons of taking Soma are few.  It causes drowsiness and you can not drink alcohol while taking it.  It can be habit forming. It is not recommended that you drive while using Soma.  I have not experienced any of these side effects and I am able to be employed when taking this medication.  It can not be taken when you are pregnant or if you are nursing. I think the pros outweigh the cons with this medication.  If you experience painful spasms anywhere in your body, I recommend you contact your doctor and discuss this with him or her.  All in all, I think this is a great medication for muscle spasms!*

This med is an excellent back spasam med and I have used in the past and it tops for relief and fast than others I have tried.As a beack pain suffer I have tried nearly all of them.The meds I am on right noe control the pain I had been battling for a years.Now on occasional days I end up pulling a upper muscle located between the shouldwer blades and it is agriavating.It is a muscle that when you turn wrong or stretch it gets you.Now be careful mixing this med with anxiety meds as it can slow your respirations down and cause a lot of problems you don't need.BE careful amounts you take and how long you take it.It can be addictive.Comparing this drug with the others like ROBAXIN and FLEXIRIL, this comparision is a no brainner.Now those other drugs do have purpose but not for certain type frequesnt pain relief and muscle relaxing.It is in generic form and is also found on the internet in places.I get the little emails all the time for it and VIAGRA. That is a whole nother topic.Live pain free my friends
