So a couple of months ago I ordered some Soma online. It wasn't the first time I had done this, so it was no big deal. The first time I tried it I took 3 or 4 of the 350mg pills. I had continued doing this on and off for about a month in combination with lyrica (900mg-1.5g) and klonopin (1-4mg) and had never experienced any problems.

Soon after, my Kpin habit got very out of hand, I made some plans to go into detox and then to rehab. Because of this my mother took away all of my benzos and had only dispensed enough to me as to prevent withdrawals.

The day before I was to go into detox I found a strip of 10 350mg somas in my room that I had forgotten about and decided I wanted one last good high before going away. Since I had already taken 1,750mg soma multiple times in the past without any issues, I decided that a couple of extra pills wouldn't be a big deal. So I popped 7 (2,450mg) somas before I got into the car with my mother and grandfather (he had spent the weekend by us and we were taking him back home that day.)

About 10-15 minutes into that car ride (we hadn't even made it onto the parkway) I lost all color in my face and proceeded to pass out. This scenario went way beyond the famous soma shakes. My mom pulled the car over, got out, opened the back door where I was seated, grabbed me, and smacked me as hard as she could across my face. I slightly opened my eyes, jerked my entire body, and then passed right back out. My mom got back in the car, pressed the OnStar emergency button (which are now so grateful she has) and they told her where to take me and that there was a bed waiting for me in the ER.

7 hours later I woke up with tubes coming out of pretty much every end of my body excluding my throat (Thank God I did not need my stomach pumped.) When I came to I turned over to my crying mother and I was confused as all hell. This was literally one of the most emotionally and physically draining and hurtful experiences of my entire life.

I want to write this report as a warning to the soma abusers out there. Believe me, I of all people know what it's like to want a good buzz and to assume nothing bad will come of just trying to have a good time; but people (especially the younger people on here) MUST REALIZE that you are not invincible. DO NOT EVER think "this won't happen to me," because that is exactly what was going through my head when I took those 7 pills. Please be careful with any drug that you consume and especially this one. A lot of medical professionals have told me that soma is one of the most common causes of an overdose.

PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE I DID! Do not take life for granted. Life is a precious thing and to throw it all away for a good buzz is a mistake that no one should ever want to make; and if you do, whether it be on purpose or by accident, very few people (myself included) are lucky enough to have their life given back to them.
 
Glad to hear that you are OK. Some of the worst experiences I've had with drugs have come from those "just one last time" moments. We're rarely thinking straight in those situations. It's all about excess that "last" time.

Don't ever put your mom through that again. I'm sure you feel bad about it, but you really have to dwell hard on the fact that she went through that horror with you. Not knowing if her son would live or die. I'm not a parent, but there are few greater pains than a parent losing a child.
 
Glad you are OK, Soma is one of if not THE most unpredicatable drugs out there. I was used to taking 9-12 of the 350mg tablets and one morning when I took 4 it was all of a sudden too much and I started to have the shakes and go into a little Soma-coma
 
I personally don't likes somas at all. My friend says take them with norcos as they are a good combo and i have a few times and it was alright. But i took a soma alone once because i was out of norcos and they just made me feel odd, i don't find recreational value in them.
 
I never used to get those pre-seizure shakes with soma, recently its started happening when i take too many 350's.

Good trip report, hopefully it will make someone else think twice before "aww im just gonna take a few more, trust me, i'll be fine..."
 
^Soma is a great drug, you just have to know how to use it. It pairs great with opiates, benzos, and alcohol in moderation, but it is like Vicodin in regards that taking just one will leave you disappointed..that is the therapeutic dosage, not the recreational dosage which starts at around three 350mg tablets. With no tolerance 2-4 is a good range for fun. But beware tolerance builds quickly and sooner than later you might find yourself having to eat ten at a time jsut to catch a quick buzz.
 
Haha yeah man i've been prescribed 2 350s a day for about 5 months now. I go through the bottle of sixty in around a week, and thats if im being a good boy.
