Hey everybody,

Just a question, and I would like some opinionated feedback, and some personal experience feedback as well, please.

SWIM has a RX for Carisoprodol (Soma 350mg) and always gets GENERIC, of course. However; SWIM recently re-filled their RX at a different pharmacy, and instead of getting the usual generic DAN 5513s, SWIM got generic D 31s!

SWIM has always liked the DAN 5513s because they always do their work perfectly for SWIM’s back & leg muscle spasm problems, but SWIM is afraid to take these new D 31s because SWIM isn’t sure if they are placebos, or not up to better standards such as the DAN 5513s are! SWIM has been prescribed Carisoprodol (Soma 350mg) for many years now, and takes them on a daily basis.

QUESTION: In your opinion, or experience; Are the Carisoprodol D 31s up to the standards of the Carisoprodol DAN 5513s?

Please answer quickly so SWIM can either safely take the D 31s or take them back to the pharmacy and ask for a different Carisoprodol generic. Thank you!

i don't think chemist shops are allowed to sell you placebo's.... furtherùmore, the amount of the active ingrediant (in this case carisprodol) whether in the brand name stuff, one generi or another is sooooo, nearly exactly the same, there is no way you could tell the difference...

the only things that could be of inconvieniance: if the pill tastes bad or if its a huge pill and hard to swallow (like "Subutex" they're fuckin huge, whereas the generis are tiny, easier to sublingual and way better for bangin or snortin.sorry im rambling. thats all i can think of
.....
so imo it makes no difference
 
Thank you for your response Phatass,

But I believe there is more to it than just the generics being all one big family one after another having the same effect.

For example: Carisoprodol DAN 5513s give SWIM a much greater effect than the Carisoprodol V 2410s do.

If anyone else who has more experience in the field of Pharmacology or Pharmacokinetics, please respond to this thread, I’d greatly appreciate your input. Thank you again!

I've been on 1400-2800mg carisoprodol per day for years now, although I don't take it everyday I find the V2410s work just fine...

I have found that carisoprodol is about the laziest drug I have ever seen a pharmaceutical company get away with, I have no idea how they are able to sell pills that are barely pressed together.

The pills I get are hardly pressed together, chalky, break BY THEMSELVES in the pill bottle, and when all the pills are gone, the orange prescription bottle has so much carisoprodol dust on it, that it is literally opaque. When it's empty, I just rinse the bottle with water and drink it, with decent effects.

BTW, we don't use SWIM here, and I'm pretty sure there is no brand discussion in OD, there is not in BDD forsure. Please take the time to read our posting guidelines and the BLUA.
 
I have the SAME ISSUE, Walgreens gave me DAN 5513s then last refill gave D 31 and it was day and night. I tried taking them back and they would not unless Doctor called them with new script. I am very angry as I feel tricked into taking a FAKE PILL. I even took 2 at once and NOTHING. Just one DAN 5513 would put me to sleep these new one are made wrong... We may be the first to notice or first to speak up. Who would question what they give us. They could give us asprin in place of anything and we have to keep it once we leave the RX. WALGREENS IS FACING A MAJOR ISSUE IF THIS IS NOT CORRECTED. I will not accept another RX refill unless they dump them out and I see DAN on each pill. NEVER AGAIN WILL I GET STUCK WITH THESE FAKE PILLS. I will switch RX if they keep it up. I am so happy someone else had this issue cause they think I am just complaining for no reason.
 
Never had this issue.
I agree that Dan's the man..
but it's funny that some people expect generics to be you know...generic.
I'm not saying this is the case with you..just an opportunity to go off topic. =D
It could be that you just somehow got a bad batch...somehow...
i have no doubts that it's happened sometime or another...
do some googling..see if anybody else has noticed the same thing.
I never had an issue w/the V's..or D's
but some of the best and certainly strongest have been generic
and from strange foreign lands...you know..during my travels.
I just don't foresee a whole lot of the info i think you two are looking for...here on BL.
But hope things get sorted out for you...

Some people swear that one brand is better than the other. I have taken trade name to generic named medications and found no difference. Legitimate Pharmacies do not give out placebo pills. They give you the real medication. Some pharmacies have contracts with different pharmaceutical makers that's most likely why it is different. They are the same.
 
The placebo effect is quite powerful. If you think these new generics won't work well, then they won't.

Carisoprodol relaxes muscles and eases anxiety, and the anxiety stemming from the thought that you are taking fake or inadequate tablets can easily tense up your muscles and make you nervous, making you think the Soma is not working.
