Guest guest Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 There is talk of making Soma a controlled sutbstance. I can't remember what it breaks down into but it is narcotic like substances. Abby In a message dated 8/31/2008 8:21:11 P.M.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 I didn't say it WAS a narcotic, I said it was like a narcotic like property. Big difference. Yes I know about the meds and the talk of changing it to a scheduled med. I prescribe. It wasn't my intent to imply any misuse from you. I was just pointing that out because someone mentioned having difficulty after stopping it. Abby In a message dated 8/31/2008 8:35:30 P.M.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Soma did fine for me for years and then it started making me spacey. I tried it with food and no difference so I stopped. I take the older Robaxin now and that does fine for me. I have been wondering how the heck you manage to work EMS with RA. I worked it many years ago and it was always so hectic and hard lifting and work. At least my job is mostly paperwork with a lot of walking.

The muscle spasms finally bbroke and I can finally stop taking them. I was fine while on them, but off them...I've been temporarily benched. I'm stuck in the dispatch center because my hands/arms are so shaky, it's as if they don't belong to me! My director, (and rightly so), doesn't want to take the chance that I'll compromise patient care. I will get to return to doing what I do best as soon as they stop. I keep hitting letters that I don't need, keep overusing the ones I do an just generarrly making a mess of things...

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Dodge and group; OMG, I love soma. I got soma when I injured my back back in 95 while lifting a patient that fell. I caught her with my arm. I knew if she broke a bone at her age she would die. ( I seen it happen to an ederly lady that broke her leg). I sprained my back catching her and the doctor prescribed me soma. I could never get them again. The doctors tell me thats only for severe cases of strain. Maybe its for the good. I like them to much haaaaaa. Sorry to hear about your muscle spasms. I am so sorry dodge for what you have to go through. Bless your heart. I get them so bad I cry I asked the doctor for something and she said hold on for a while. It's been a while I am going to bring it up again. For the spasms not the soma lol. They are like charley horses. I get them everywhere. gentle hugs Clora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 : My actual diagnosis is AS, not RA, but the AS/Lupus/Fibro... That's all " mild " for me.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Abby and group; I thought it was a controlled substance. O how good they made me feel. I have fibro. I think I had it since I was young cause I have had much pain in my life for no apparent reason.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Actually, we just covered this in our DEA/FDA mandated class. It doesn't break down into a narcotic, per se, but is highly addictive and popular among drug abusers. This of course, ruins it for the rest of us legitimate patients who actually use our meds as prescribed. And even if if did, seeing as how I take 8 now 9 schedule II narcotics daily, I don't think that'd be an issue. Yes, you are right there has been talk of making it a controlled substance for years, and each time it gets shot down again. -- Dodge Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and wrong, because sometime in your life you will have been all of these.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Hi Dodge - my doctor didn't like giving me Soma because of its addictive qualities. Sounds like your body is readjusting itself now that you didn't need it anymore. Hope you feel better soon......Doreen > > I have taken two Soma every 4 hours since early wednesday morning. The muscle spasms finally bbroke and I can finally stop taking them. I was fine while on them, but off them...I've been temporarily venched.
