Somas... Still need answers.

[TheFDA]

... So I made a similar thread earlier this week in the "Other Drugs" forum asking about people's experiences with Somas, & some moderator closed the thread & told me to just look them up on google. [Is it just me, or are there like more closed threads in that forum than open ones?] Obviously I'd already done that, but I did it more, & looked on erowid.org & such, & I still really need/want more information about them. I'm hoping this thread won't get locked, too, since it seems like this forum is much more accepting of various threads than that one, & I honestly can't see a reason why it would be locked/closed, but whatever.

Lately I came across a bunch of Somas for free. I've heard from a fair amount of people that it's "the only muscle relaxer with any real recreational value", so I figured since I had nothing else to do with them I might as well take them. The effects they had on me were pretty different in ways than I would have thought... Like, I know drowsiness is supposed to be a side effect of them, but they seem to if anything make me more awake. They also seem to make me feel a bit "drunk-ish", definitely lower my inhibitions, & seem to make me kind of irritatable & such... But, since I don't know anything about Somas & can't find much of any information on them on other places on the web [oh, yeah, I should specifically state, I'm taking them for whatever recreational effects they may have, if they even really have any], so I don't know to what degree these effects are from the Somas & to what degree they're because of other factors in my life.

I really like to have as much information on ANY substance at all that I take, so I'm interested to hear what effects you guys have experienced from them. I'm most interested in hearing about people's overall experiences from them who have taken them for "recreational purposes", but people who have experienced certain side effects from taking them for medicinal purposes I'd be interested in hearing what side effects they experienced, too.

Also I'd be interested in knowing what dosages people have fond most effective for recreational use. & to what, if any, degree they HAVE recreational benefits.

I'll end this as I began it: If for whatever reason the moderators want to close this thread, then, there's nothing I can do about that obviously. But considering I'm looking to learn from others experiences & overall knowledge on the substance because I can't find sufficient information elsewhere & one of the "drug rules" I like to live by is learning as much as I can about any drug of any sort that I take since I've fond that with drugs knowledge & saftey go hand-in-hand, if a moderator wants to close this thread I'd like them to at least link me somewhere where I can get sufficient info...

I took too many once. This was back about 3 years ago after my ex died and I just wanted to not wake up. I don't remember how much I took. Maybe 6 or 7 pills...not enough to kill you. I just wanted to sleep for hours and not wake up.

Anyway, the emo stuff aside, I woke up and had to pee really badly. Attempted to stand and couldn't stand. I had to crawl to the bathroom and could barely get myself up on the toilet. It was really freakin weird.

I know my case is extreme, because I obviously just took took much, but the drug is just....strange. I take it too relax still sometimes. I think it is relaxing, but I also notice it is kinda like a depressant. I think it puts me in a bad mood the next day. I don't think it is a good drug to take if you are already having a bad day.

Overall, I say thumbs down. I compare it to benzos, which I think are better than soma. They aren't bad to relax, but they aren't really that potent and benzos are better anyway.

I find somas to be hit or miss and unpredictable... One day one might FUCK your shit up... while another it might take 4-5. Sometimes they do nothing and sometimes they hit. They potentiate opiates very well, decrease anxiety... I am not a huge fan of them because of the fact you never know how they're gonna hit... its almost like there isnt the same amount of the active ingredient in each pill.. while I know thats not true it's just how it feels sometimes when I take them. Definatly a weird pill. Not a bad one too have... Some people love em, some hate em... Since you have a bunch of free ones experiment and find out how you feel about them but that's how I feel. Good luck and enjoy!

Damnnn, that sounds like a not so fun experience, to drastically understate it. At least I know now not to take 6 or more of those, which is REALLY good, since that's the kind of shit I could see myself doing easily if I hadn't heard any horror stories about taking that many, so thanks

&, yeah, from what I've been able to tell people in general seem to consider muscle relaxers second rate pain pills &/or Benzos.


Any thoughts from you or anybody else about combining Somas & Benzos, & whether they'd strengthen the effects of eachother or just be a Bad Combination in general? (I take Xanax everyday & Klonopin on most days, anyhow, so Benzos are something my body is very used to.)

Thanks Your comment about how they make opiates more potent is INCREDIBLY useful to me, since I'm getting lots of Vicodin in a few days, so now I know to save the Somas I have until then. (&, when I say I got a bunch for free, I mean like, 20 pills max. Which isn't a ton, but to randomly get for free I consider it a fair amount.)

Somas n' opiates

Be careful mixing the somas and opiates. Even if you dont place yourself in danger of cardiac arrest, there is the danger of just suddenly falling asleep in a risky situation, falling down and hurting yourself, or just doing something plain stupid or embarrassing. Somas are pretty fun in my opinion, but they're also incredibly reckless and irresponsible drugs at the same time. Most people I know have done just...irrational things that could've landed them in trouble if they hadn't had a sober person with them (I tried to take a nap on the sidewalk outside a police station, for example).

Personally I think somas and benzos are sedating enough on their own that there's no real need to combine them. I can't imagine the experience being more recreational than either one on their own, and you actually do put your life in your hands combining them in high enough dosages...which is easier than you might think given that memory loss is a pretty common side effect with both types of drugs. Its all too easy to think, "well, I'll just eat one more soma," then five minutes later forget that you ate it, and then think, "well, I'll just eat one more soma..."

You get the idea.

The first time I fucked with soma I took it with a 10mg vicodin.. when I had zero opiate tolerance... I was FUUUUUUCKED up for hours. It was pretty good... when you mix them remember you can always take more but you can't take less... other than that enjoy
