That's what Soma does for me, when it works it feels great!. But it's such a finicky thing, and also said to be very unreliably dosed (With the pain-o-soma- brand that we get in the UK, said to be be so, by many Americans who can access a much better brand). Sometimes some pills seem to have no active ingredient at all!

Plus have you have to be hungry with an empty stomach to take it, otherwise it just won't work.

I think you're also meant to eat quite a lot of food soon after too, as this definitely helps it kick in.

Re-dosing doesn't work unless you wait for the previous dose to completely wear off. And you have to follow all of the above steps again.

tl;dr - I much prefer Soma, but it's so finicky and unreliable!

I’ve never got anything from it. Other than helping aches and pains after an overly energetic day in the gym. But then that’s what it’s for.

Works very well in conjunction with opiates, so - don’t do that.

 

[Zopiclone bandit]

You'll probably be very disappointed. They work best as a potentiator imho, for other GABAs like benzos, soma, or whisky!

And as a hangover remedy, and they ease opiate w/ds quite a bit.

But just taken alone, in sensible doses, you might loose your legs or balance first time, but after that they don't do much more than sometimes provide a mild mood uplift, and mild relaxation. They always make it a lot more difficult than normal to wake up and get out of bed the following morning! Although sometimes it is nice just to luxuriate in lazy morning stupor, and keep pressing 'snooze' on the alarm.

YMMV.

For me they are like what Benzo use promises but I don't black out on them, start fighting people, piss myself etc.

Pregab fucks me up, yet again YMMV, they effect they have on me is nothing like you said.

That’s why I’ve always been curious but it is a very silly reason to use it,

It appears Soma can be also savagely physically addictive especially in those with already dysregulated GABA systems.

Do you mean, you think it's silly to use it for aches and pains, or to combine it with opiates? (It works great for both!)

I don't see why it's any sillier than any other drug. I am always cautious to only use it for one day.

I have combined it with DHC in the past, and that was good! But the heavy downside was that I'd be hit by intensely strong and completely unpredictable waves of daytime sleepiness, for up to 7 - 10 days afterwards! It's a nice combo, but really not worth paying that kind of toll!

It doesnt do this without the DHC.

I'm not sure if my body has issues with 'clearing' or metabolising that combo. It might be that, coupled with my usage of benzos and mirtazapine. I'm never normally stricken with waves of excessive daytime sleepiness, it's only ever been after the soma and DHC combos.

Yeah as a combo but I guess I’ve been a bit fearmongered tbf in regards to downer mixing.

I’d much prefer something that adds a body high, especially muscle relaxation, I just don’t do any good on mental disinhibition because I’m a nut case I’m afraid.

But again I already find Methylphenidate + DHC is so perfect, it basically makes me forget my body exists and I’m just a nice cheerful person instead of the cunt I always I am.

I’m not sure if somas half life is long, but yeah I reckon just the total amount of sedative load for you at that point is quite heavy.

I wouldn’t mind day time sleepiness but not something you can do if you’ve got shit to do!

 

[Bleaney]

Soma adds a great body high. If you kick back to fully experience the effects while it eases muscular tension, or aches and pains, it's amazing.

Sometimes my job causes the muscles at the back of my shoulders to tense up and 'crawl' and the relief from that is tremendous.

Only problem is that it also somehow energises me, and I feel more like actively writing posts on the internet, even when I'm too fucked to type without dozens of typos, and so wasting the fully body muscular relaxation effects, by not kicking back.

There is also an all too brief mental high, very akin to drunkeness, but that only lasts 30 minutes or so.

I like the substance, but it's difficult to get everything right for it to work optimally in terms of all round effects, and as I say I am also wary of using it too often.

It's absolutely a No-Go on any worknight, I'd never get out of bed in time the next day. So that helps limits use in itself.

I already post so much shite on here, so if I was on Soma and more I’d be griefing the entire shop.

I’ll save it for if I’m ever offered, 1 pill and that’s it. If I start buying GABAergics again I generally think I’d be dead.

 

[Bleaney]

OK sorry, maybe I shouldn't be singing its praises so much. But I have mentioned it's downsides and limitations too.

I fully agree that Soma is not a substance that you'd want to get addicted to.

Apparently pain patients use it for weeks, so I don't know how they avoid any issues.

Ah don’t worry Bleaney your cool man, I’m just being me, I always air my issues out lmao.

You gave it a fair assessment.

I used to hear the same, those on it for pain, I’m not quite sure either, as these days I hear about how addictive it is.

 

[Perkins : Reborn]

Soma was very, very popular in the pills and steroids era of American wrestling.

Make of that what you will, but I haven't heard many happy stories.

 

[Bleaney]

Those guys were probably so into popping pills and injections, that they thought nothing of adding one more substance to the mix.

I think GBL or GHB was also widely used in bodybuilding circles. It really worked ime, at times when I was doing no muscular training at all, but taking GBL semi regularly, my muscle tone and size dramatically improved, without me needing to do anything extra or different in physical terms to cause that.

Re Soma; it genuinely is highly effective for easing muscular pain, injuries, or tension, which no doubt was something those wrestlers sustained a lot of.

I don't know why we cant get the superior American brands in the UK, and have to settle for what is widely regarded as a second rate, unreliable, Indian brand in Pain O Soma.

I’ve got some Indian generic 500mg. They taste fucking awful.

Swallow them whole! You might get a bit of a faster onset if you crunch them, but it doesn't sound like they are working for you in any case.

I've read that the 350mgs Pain O Somas tend to be better dosed than the 500mgs, not sure if it's true, but I could definitely feel the 350s I had last night, and the batch of 500mgs I had a few weeks ago did seem very poor.

 

[LoginNotSecure]

I couldn’t chew them, it’s on par with GBL for me taste wise.

 

[Zopiclone bandit]

It’s on Amazon for under £9 for a used copy on Blu-ray

I am poor Sir, plus £9 is so damn close to a dose of Heroin.

There is no taste if you just neck the whole Soma pills as quickly as possible with a swig of water?

I've crunched them a few times, for faster onset, and chased down with fizzy water, and while they certainly don't taste good, I could easily enough crunch my way through loads, if there was any great benefit or reason to do so,

I found myself involuntarily spitting out some of my latest GBL order, as it just tasted so nasty, and that time I'd not been organised enough to get the most strongly flavoured ginger beer available. Which is just about the only drink I've found so far that tastes strong enough to mostly mask the foul solventy taste. Diet coke was a very bad choice to take it with. Fortunately it was only one or 2 swigs that got sprayed out a little. It wasn't like I wasted loads.

But if you think GBL liquid is bad (and there is no doubt that it is), it's nothing compared to the gel formulations. Prepared entirely to discourage 'abuse' no doubt. First time I got the "gel formulation" it was 99% liquid anyway. 2nd time it was proper gel consistency. Looking back now, I don't know how I managed to get that stuff down, and keep it down, but somehow I did. I think ginger beer was probably involved, along with holding my nose. IIRC. And a strong resolve to try to think of the end result. and not about having to vuirtually raw dog the gel, bit by bit, as it really did not mix well with liquids.

Terrible HR I know. But I didn't do myself any damage.

Still safer than being shot up with that fucking Covid-19 shit they said was to keep us alive.

I used to mix it with neat cordial and even that was vile. Milk was the worst mixer. Never again

 

[KurtAurelius]

Fancied a cheaper Opiate option, and while I was out away from home, I went to a different pharmacy, as I saw they had cheap Almus Ibruprofen and Codeine.

I use my Girlfriend as an excuse (period cramps) and I was horrified when she flashed a 600mg Nurofen box in my face but I just said the combo is more effective.

Then she claims to remember my girlfriend “coming in” to the pharmacy a few weeks ago. (She doesn’t go to this city!)

I just nodded along but was worried that she wouldn’t sell me any lol, but she did, and gave me the 32 box without asking how many, as asking for 32 instead of 16 feels like asking for a hypodermic needle.

Maybe need to ask the missus if she’s CWE behind my back .

Also no fuckin coffee filters. I hope big Tesco has them. I know filter paper is better but I can’t find any.
