As far as I know Carisoprodol is addictive. I'm 100% sure actually. Anyway, it definitely is more forgiving than benzos. I've used a lot of Soma (Carisoprodol) recently and there is way less rebound anxiety or physical addiction than with benzos. So I still agree that it's a better option in theory.If it's becoming more than once off every few weeks, avoid both substance classes. Clonidine, carisoprodol and beta blockers, antihistamines can make good comedown aids which aren't addictive. I know that beta blockers are said to be dangerous together with stims, yet I've known somebody who got high dose d-amph prescribed together with propranolol and it kept me leaving my heart running at 100+bpm for years just to find out this interaction doesn't happen so readily.

but Carisoprodol (Soma) is definitely addictive and from where I stand
