Okay I am about to try and kick my vicdion, norco and what ever other pain meds I can get my hands on. Now my question is I thought about taking some Soma's through the detox process, has anyone else ever done this or what are everyone elses take on this?
ya might want to toss the soma's, they break down as a barbituate in ur system. u can become very, very addicted to them too and they are Hell to come off of.
can u get some baclofen from ur doctor. ask for another non addictive type of muscle relaxer and don't let a doctor tell you that soma's are not habit forming cause they r........

Bad idea, Dallas. I took them regularly with my doc (hydros). You don't want to go there. What if you like them? Then you have another problem to worry about.

Somas seem to be becoming an ever popular drug. Kat is right they do break down into a barbituate. I use to use them with the hydros as a combo. They can actually make you almost drunk. NOt good! Don't go there.

I have 47 days clean from Soma. I was taking up to 30 a day. By far the worst most addicting drug I've ever taken and I"ve taken plenty... RUN dont walk to the nearest exit regarding somas.... Try smething else hon...

By taking the Soma you may just replace the Somas for the pain killers.
A lot of addicts replace one D.O.C (drug of choice) for another or a behaviors.
Mine for the longest time was sweets and sleeping!
Just thought I would put that out there ~

you might not want to toss them and talk to a dr first. my detox dr told me they were like xanax and i needed oi be weened off of them the same. he gave me phenabarbetol for risk of sezures to ween for a 5 day detox. good luck and keep us posted.

Okay..time for a soma story.....
I had a friend whom had a real problem with pills. one of my best friends, though after many years she moved away.Lived the good life. Enviable to most.
Fast cars, mansions, travelled via private jet. She was beautiful, kind, loving to her friends and family, and totally hooked on every pill imaginable. At the time
I was just starting to increase my use of my narcotic, and in fact, truth be told, I think knowing that I wasnt "as bad" kept my use escalating. We stayed in touch, I confronted her...her speech was slurred, she didnt SEEM so happy...TELL me honey...Im here for you....She wept and hung up.
I called her Mom. An intervention soon followed. In "rehab" she learned how to break up her pills...crush them...shooot them...find that ever elusive high...she told me that she learned more about meds and highs in rehab then anywhere else in her life. ( no idea which one.....some small one that took her immediately by what her mom said....sure that cant be common)
She came over and saw me once she was out. She was thin. Too thin. But we caught up on time, laughed, traded clothes, had a beauty day at home, pedicures etc...it was a great day. i had hid my bottle of meds..told her i hadnt taken any in awhile...didnt want to trigger her.
She told me that day " I'll always love the buzz...cant help it..probably never stop taking...just control it.....I was worried. We talked about that. She hugged me. Told me not to be such a worry wart...
She started to volunteer at the old folks home where i do...for a month she was great....she was back...then one day..she didnt come in. I didnt hear for her for a couple of days and called her Mom. She was fine. Just visiting old friends in foreign lands, she'd be in touch soon.But she wasnt. She fell back with old friends, and old habits...SOMA had become her drug of choice.....
She called one day crying, she was barely audible. Come home i said. just come home. I love you. We all love you.
She died 7 days later. The Dr. said she had far too much soma in her body. Far too much of that muscle relaxant. Her heart was a muscle. It relaxed too much. It beat no more.
I miss her every single day.
Please dont take soma.

wiverson,
As awdul as it is to tell some of that story..if even ONE person doesnt take it
its worth the pain of re-telling...
Im glad you wont take it.
They dont have soma in canada. She in fact FLEW to the u.s. to get it.
I started a class action lawsuit against soma, wrote them letters, sent them her picture and autopsy results.......
SOMA is one of the most dangerous drugs to abuse.
Love

I've never taken them but have heard the horror stories. If you haven't been taking them on a regular basis, flush em.
Makes me shudder.....

How long ago did you start the class action? Did anything come of it? Is it one of those that you build tolerence for?
Hi wiverson,
$21,000.00 and 2 lawyers later we are gathering patients and evidence....has now changed to a class 1V ACTION LAWSUIT... lawyers keep getting richer..but in time...i know we will win. Its principle not money to me.
it has been 2 years since it started..it was just her birthday and her mom came over and gave me an angel blanket, and said to think of her when im sad.and cuddle in it....I sent the company ( cant mention on line) her picture again..will do it every year on her birthday till they pull that *ing drug....
Love,
Ali

Im sorry but don't mean to challenge you, seriously. But are they going to take the position that she "abused them" and if she took as prescribed this woudn't have happened? I am curious as to how you are going to overcome that hurdle.
Hi,
I have tried somas to get me through w/ds before...well all they did was make me take more pain pills! I have tried xanax, valium, flexoril as well...same thing happened...all I wanted to do was take more painpills. So I would say bad idea.
take care and hang in there.

its not the fact that she abused them so much as they are addictive and not monitored, handed out like candy....there are warnings on them now that were not there before she started them which is good.....but not enough...no one thinks about the fact that their heart is a muscle.....so a strong muscle relaxant...you got the picture already........
...as awful as it sounds, the more people that add to the lawsuit the more pressure to pull the drug......thats why the class change of lawsuit....
now im hoping im not going to upset the case, Im sure its public record by now...just wait and watch waiverson...when it gets brought out soon in the spotlight, then gets pulled, think of Tammy. ( that was her name)
Hugs,
Ali

P.s.
She was in her late 30s......had her whole life to still live...enough said.

wiverson,
We dont take a penny back over original lawyers/court costs...we are donating our share ( when it comes) to her Mother's causes ( shes a reverend and married me and hubby)
The reward of not having anyone else die of it is the best i agree. weare blessed to be ABLE to afford to have started this. many can not, thats why now they can add to ours without the finacial burden...so many people have died from this drug....so many sad stories...
I truly think that Tammy is on my shoulder right now, helping me taper.
Some day i will tell you more about Tammy. you would love her too.
Hugs,
Ali

SHe sounds very interesting, I would like that.
I guess I didnt mean monetarily, I mean in some way some form you can't go wrong on this, this thread may have saved a life.
