Some Soma Questions

This is interesting to me... Because in my opinion they're waaay better than benzos. Like I have temazepam and clonazepam prescriptions but carisoprodol is way more recreational and euphoric in my experience than either of those. I wonder if there is some different metabolic factors in play here...

not to be a dick, but i dont't see how in the hell you could compare somas to any benzo, now you're saying they're better than temazepam and clonazepam. those are some of the best benzos around. comparing carisoprodol to strong benzos is like comparing tramadol or darvocet to morphine or oxycodone. there's just no comparison, and i doubt it has anything to do with metabolism...

somas(to me) have no euphoria, mild anti-anxiety/relaxation effects, and benzo-like muscle relaxation.

how people rate this drug so highly is truly beyond my understanding.

That is what is so interesting to me--there seems to be a sharp difference in some people's experience. We're having legitimately different experiences with the same drugs. It makes me wonder what is behind this biologically/physiologically.

there's really no complex mechanism, it's just a matter of preference. think of drug-liking like you would of taste buds...

I understand what you're saying, but it doesn't seem like that is the case here. Some of us are experiencing effects that others are not, and in a very specific and pronounced way. Some people feel nothing from codeine and an enzyme insufficiency is to blame for it, so its possible that something analogous is going on here. I know that carisoprodol is active in and of itself because of its speed of onset, but it is also metabolized into meprobamate which is one possible point where people could differ.

Excellent explanation!
 
You were insulting the OP by talking about using "real drugs".... I'd rather take soma that datura. I don't give a fuck about what happened while you were on said datura, just saying you are in no position to reccomend "real drugs".

you really need to get over that. it happened, its done, its a dead fuckin issue now. it may have not been the smartest idea, but bringing it up on another thread is just childish of you.

seriously, get the fuck over it and move on...

i wasn't insulting the OP, i was insulting you as my comment was a reply to your post calling me "retarded".

once again, you really need to move on.
 
i've tried it, and must agree that the only thing they're good for is "getting rid of charlie horses".

carisoprodol is highly overrated. i mean people are saying they're better than BENZOS. seriously, come on...

i also tried them for stimulant comedowns, and they didn't even help ease the anxiety. the only people i can see getting off on somas are those with a history of sedative drug seeking behavior.

Thats total bullshit.

Just for your information genius, meprobamate was used BEFORE benzos even came out. Do you know what soma converts to in your body?

Thats right.. meprobamate. Do you know why the stopped making it? Cause it was killing too many fucking people, so wheres this whole "real drug" topic come into play? Soma is more dangerous than any benzo ever will be, it causes much more extreme respritory depression, it kills anxiety, its a sedative, a muscle relaxant, and based on a ridiculously strong drug that has largely been replaced by benzos.

Benzos are safer, and most DO consider them more effective in terms of removing anxiety, but klonopin is a joke. I can't believe you're trying to compare klonopin to morphine and soma to tramadol.. are you serious? 6mg of klonopin makes me go to sleep, NO euphoria at all. Not to mention by day 3 I can't feel a single thing.
Soma makes it impossible for me to walk straight, makes me feel like I'm floating on air, and makes my body feel GREAT. Xanax makes me tired, does nothing for my muscles, and makes me slur words like a drunk (which soma oddly does not).

You are being ignorant to other peoples biologies, and the history of a very powerful well known drug.

edit: let me chill out for a second. I'm being just as ignorant as you by calling you names. If you want to compare soma to benzos on the basis of weight of the active chemical, then YES in that respect 300mg of xanax would kill the avg person (300mg being the standard soma formulation). But I'm talking about standard formulations of each drug. And 300mg of soma does much more for me than 1mg of xanax. If I take 10mg of xanax it could be fun, but I'd most likely just black out. If I take 1000mg of soma, I usually have a lot of fun and don't black out. Both drugs are actually very much alike in terms of what they do, just that benzos are better for anxiety, and soma is better for muscles (its pretty euphoric when your whole body feels like its floating). Benzos and soma are both fun. So I don't wanna come off like some bias soma lover. I do like them both. But to say somas aren't a "real drug" is just utter bs.

then why isn't this "super powerful bliss of of high" even federally controled. lyrica is, and even that is better than somas. hell, somas are actually OTC in some places, don't see that with clonazepam.

and just because its "based" on a powerful drug, dosen't make it one. and even though it converts in small amounts to meprobamate, doesn't make that strong. hell, codiene converts into morphine, but they are *much* different in terms of recreation.

once again, somas are highly overrated and comparing them to any benzo is just stupid.
 
WTF dude POPPIES, thats **OPIUM POPPY** isn't "federally controlled", and you can order the shit online. You really think laws have anything to do with a drugs actual potency?

The only reason soma isn't controlled, is because when the morons released it, the little geekhead science nerds said "due to research we have done, soma has low abuse potential". They released it, and found otherwise (that means soma has HIGH abuse potential go read), and simply have not changed the laws yet.

And when I said "based" I meant a LARGE PROPORTION of it CONVERTS into that drug. Codiene to morphine is 10%, thats not a "large proportion", I'd look for the % but I still know its craploads higher than codiene to morphines conversion.

You're not saying soma is "highly overrated", you're just saying "I'm a benzohead", lets not confuse yourself here. I'm also glad you get high off lyrica, lyrica IS a good drug. So is neurontin (just weaker) but 300mg of soma compared to 300mg of lyrica, in no way is lyrica stronger.
I can't feel a damn thing from 300mg of lyrica, its not till around 900mg I start to feel it, and if I took that amount of soma I'd be straighout retarded.

I think the real issue here is onetime someone sold you "somas" and they were really aspirin.

Dude, dont waist your time with that guy, hes being hard headed & cant understand the fact that some stuff works really well for some people while it doesnt work at all for others.
 
from personal experience, soma is extremely unpredictable in some people. it also can cause mad tolerance w/in a few days of heavy use.
soma caused me more than a few problems some years ago and i feel grateful as hell that i didn't hurt anyone during certain reckless episodes. i had no common sense, no good sense, no fucking sense at all on those damn things and i did stupid retarded dangerous shit.
when i was working in hospital, soma was very often part of combination Rx drug ODs. they are a lot more dangerous than people generally think.
