What the hell?

Several years ago I took Soma quite often and I would always drink with them, it got bad so I quit (after an ICU visit and legal troubles). It always relaxed me and when time came to go to bed, I'd have no problem going to sleep.
Today my Dr gave me a scrip for Soma again.
I took 2 at 6 PM, felt sleepy for about 10 minutes then felt nothing. Took 3 about 10 PM, went to bed and had what felt like insomnia, couldn't sleep. So I took 4 more about 45 minutes ago, and now I'm wired for sound.
What the hell is the deal here? Has anyone else experienced this? How many should I take to finally get SOMETHING, either the cozy feeling or knock my ass out?
im not sure it matters or not, but I have a super high tolerance for hydro, 100-300 mg at a time every 7-8 hours.
 
What up Smoke, how y'all feelin now? Rush had the same thing happen to him and he thought it was from his VERY HIGH Tolerance to Hyrdro so he took 2mgs Xanax after about 3 hours of being "wired" & WOW, whatta High he got for a couple hours until the nods started kickin in. Check this out too, he sometimes gets the same reaction from his Hydros and will add Xanax to "synergize" or potentiate the 2.
I doubt taking more Somas tonight will do you any "good" since you've already taken 9. Good Luck Bro. R~
 
Howdy DD! I jus took 4 more about 15 minutes ago, I feel like I've had a 6 pack of beer, kinda drunk.
i just wanna go to sleep now, I gotta get up at 5:30. But it don't seem like it's happening.
I just can't believe they are not like they used to be, and let me sleep.
Tomorrow is gonna be the good night, I get my hydro and Oxy scrip, gonna try both and see what happens.
 
Hey Bud, be careful on that Hydro+Oxy mix!! Certainly don't be taking 13 ') Sure seems like a sheeeite load of somas, what mg? Sounds like y'all need a shot of that good ole Southern Comfort or a big swig of Z-Quil to be knockin ur azz out 4 da night ') lol
Can't believe 13 somas & ur STILL conscious??? ') Good Luck Brutha. R~
 
Fu#k around, I got drunker than hell, went to town (bad idea I was all over the road), then came back and went to bed.
apparently I kneed the wife several times, smoked 2 imaginary cigarettes, then just now got back up wired for sound again.
I guess I'm going to have to just ride it out till it wears off then maybe I can go to bed to sleep.
BTW the soma was 350 mg.
 
Any drug can have a paradoxical effect, which is an effect that is opposite of the intended effect. This is uncommon and non-recurring (at least not consecutively reoccuring).

I'm not well read on the mechanism of action for somas but this type of reaction is depenent on a number of factors including drug interactions, mood, physical & mental state.

Be aware of paradoxical effect, the known causes are always drug interactions and they are published. If you begin to experience the opposite effect the best course is to DISCONTINUE the use of the drug for at least 12-24 hours (more depending on half life) until your brain has had a chance to reset and the substance has left your system.

For now I'd tell the Mrs. to hold onto those keys while your brain tries to fight the massive dose you've given it. I been there man, stay home and wait it out you'll fall asleep eventually.
 
Much agreed Skill, good advice and Smoke, don't be driving Bro. It's probably a good idea to get some sleep and let your body recover before y'all start poppin the Hydro & Oxy. 13 x 350mgs??? REALLY??? That sheeite may take some time to wash!!! Take it EZ and good luck Brutha. Let me know how y'all are doin this evening. R~

Skill, I hate that Beeeotch Kongay West Molest too!!! Whatta Total Scumbag POS waste of life!!! :(
 
FINALLY, I was able to go to sleep about 7:30, then woke up a few minutes ago BING! Wide awake. Other than feeling like my head is the size of a basketball, I feel fine now.
NEVER AGAIN! They can stay in the cabinet.
