Soma
      #169526 - 06/18/04 06:15 AM

I went to a new Doctor yesterday and he prescribed me Soma 350mg and to take one at bedtime for muscle spasams and pain...so last night before i took one i ate and then took it...about an hour later i was so sick throwing up and stuff and felt really weird. i have also taken Flexarill before this and it didnt help...so i am wondering if this has happened to anyone else and also wanting to know does the sickness stop once your body adjusts to the med or should i call the doctor and ask for something different. the med help my pain for about and hour then i was in more pain than before. any advice wold help..also what other meds would help and last longer?

It helps if you take it with a little food. It is one of the most popular muscle relaxers from what I've read on these boards. Folks find it to be pretty effective, generally.

Try it again if your stomach was empty last time. Always remember, everyone's body chemistry is different so what works for me might not work for you.

No, they are totally different drugs. Valium IMO is a far better muscle relaxer than Soma - but not something you want to take every day, it's a lot more addictive.

i just want something to take at night to help the muscle pain and to help put me to sleep i think i may call the Dr on monday and let him know that Valium is what i want to try...he said that if this didnt work or i had any side effects from it to call him and he will RX me something different so maybe i will start with 5mg of valium to see how that works...thanks for all the info
