Seduced by Soma....

[ktex]

I'm aware of the tolerance that builds quickly on Soma--what a bummer. I agree w/other posters: it's unpredictable...one day there's nothing, the next I'm high as a kite.
I discovered Soma when prescribed along with Gabapentin for neck pain. It just works so great for anxiety, mood, etc. I've taken extensive breaks in the past, but currently, with some situations that are extrodinarily hard both emotionally and physically, I've been taking a lot of Soma and Gabapentin. I'd say an average day now (about 10 days) is 10 350mg Somas throughout the day and 8 300mg Gabapentins. I'm getting some relief (of course not the euphoria at this tolerance level).
Wondering if there is anyone else taking dosages like this? Is this a pretty crazy collision course I'm on taking this much?

i used to take about 15 norco and 15 soma a day and it's all bad it's a path to fuck your life up idk about gabapentin much but soma is the devils pill

Soma is all nod and sedation and a miniscule amount of euphoria, and gives too much muscle relaxation effects relative to the anxiolysis it provides. It feels very sloppy, pretty much alcohol in a pill, or felt the closest to me, anyways, compared to benzos, kava-kava, L-theanine, and pregs/gabapentin.

My mother takes soma and i hate the way it make her, she gets super shakey can barley walk, sometimes i have to carry her to her room, slured speach should i go on?

She is 5'9 125lb and she does not abuse them, but still i just want to smash the dame pills and flush em. But i guess she needs them.

yeah the OP has probably experienced the "soma shuffle" when you can barely walk and are shaking like a leaf in the wind this only happens when you take more soma than you really need

soma works for muscle relaxation.... idk about it's effects on the brain though... but its pleasant if used n moderation..... if not.. toleranc etc yayayaya

In my humble opinion soma has the potential to cause a lotta trouble. I had a nasty time w/ those fuckers gettin in my head and am just so grateful I didn't end up hurtin anyone while I was doing really dumb things. Like driving. Feel really shamed I did that.
Physically i busted my leg unintentionaly dancing w/ a fan during an early morning soma two step shuffle.
And they really caused nasty stomach problems and my liver enzymes were fk'd up for a bit. Sometimes I think it's quite likely I lost some IQ points too.
I regret and am grateful it's over.

Good feedback, all. Going to try to back way off or stop. Will taper. Bad withdrawl coming?

Nah, maybe rebound muscle spasms but no significant w/d.
