Somas?

[oxymoron]

I know they are a muscle relaxer, and I've heard they help potentiate the buzz when taken with opies. I'm getting some tomorrow cause I've heard they compliment vicodans nicely. Are they worth a fuck or what? If I take a couple of them with a couple vikes am I gonna feel a difference? The guy is practically giving them away at $1 each, but I'd be interested to hear opinions on the matter.

It's metabolized into meprobamate, so it's basically a barbiturate. Personally, I would advise taking one pill first and see how that goes before you mix it with something else. I was prescribed it a couple years ago and it made my heartbeat very irregular. I drove to the hospital but never ended up doing anything because it went away in the 20 minutes it took to get there. The info it came with listed this as a side effect...so although it was rare I was one of the lucky ones :(...anyways. Have fun, be safe :).

Yes, Soma compliments Opaites quite nicely and I believe that the above poster is exaggerating a bit (Carisoprodol is actually a pretty benign drug)... plus your talking about mixing them with Vicodin, you'd have to mix and take a lot before you would start to have any problems with it. A few Somas along with your normal dose of Hydrocodone will give you a good buzz, definately. And nothing to worry about, unless you take alot of Hydrocodone, then do a CWE to get rid of that nasty APAP.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I'm just hoping it'll kick my buzz up a notch, I'm trying not to get my tolerance any higher. I was getting kind of outta hand with oxies a while back Now I'm just trying to feel good and not break the bank. I'll try a couple 750 vikes and a couple somas tomorrow and report back as to my findings.

Yeah man, I know you'll like the combo. Just take your normal dose of Vicodin and throw in a few Somas ontop of it, they go together nicely. I think I read around here a long time ago that cab drives sold the combo (I think like a couple of vics and a couple of Somas) under some kinda funny slang name in some place... always thought that was kinda funny. Opaites and Carisoprodol go together great anyways.

[southernbelle]

I guess I'll have to be the one to disagree to this. IMO, all somas ever did for me was put me to sleep...but if you're looking to nod along with your opiate buzz maybe that's a good thing? Anyways, remember to report back and let us know how it went. I know I'll be interested.

[insaneike]

They are fucking GREAT!!! Like alcohol in a pill but with euphoria!

Take 2-3 alone for a chilled relaxing buxx or 5 for getting fucked up. Or try two with your usual opiate dose. I'm prescribed Fentanyl, Oxy(sometimes hydro instead), and Soma.. they're NICE AS FUCK together! THey say strong opiates + soma = new aged qualude ya know :D

i wasn't trying to make it look like a very dangerous drug man. it is an extremely rare side effect, just one i was unlucky enough to have. i was just recommending he/she take the soma first to make sure everything was a-ok before mixing it with another substance.

[Sitar]

Somas are awesome. But they can be a bit dangerous is larger amounts, so I would recommend a dose of 2 to 4 pills at any given time. A little more than that might not hurt, but a lot more probably would.

My only complaint about Somas is that they don't last very long, only a couple hours.

[SpecialGuy69]

One more thing to keep an eye on- soma is one of those drugs like Seroquil where the difference between the weakest dosage and the strongest is substantial, so make sure you know the mg dosage of the pills you are getting, if you don't know, look it up on rxlist.com by the imprint before you start gobbling 'em up. It's not a very dangerous drug, but high doses will make you sleepy and make it difficult to get any work done.

I enjoy Soma's very much..I think sometimes they can be very fun, alone or in combo with some opi's. I agree with insaneike...above, they remind me of a booze drunk at 3-5 pills. The thing i notice with soma's, is after taking 5 or so, a night.....for about a week, they completely stop working, or just make me feel like shit and i gotta stop taking em for a while. But at 1 a pill..pick some up. try em out.
Of course start slow on em.....

Yeah, tolerance does develope very quickly with Soma... goes away pretty quick too though so not it's not that big of a problem. Wait a few days (3 or 4) and your good to go.

[moviebuff927]

Yes, they go with any opiate very nicely. But BE CAREFUL! At one time I took only a few Lortabs (hydrocodone) and like 3 or 4 Somas. I woke up in the hospital not remembering anything. Then they sent me to rehab involuntarily (committed me). Needless to say it wasn't fun so I have never taken Soma with opiates since then. But they did fuck me up royally. Just don't overdo it.

[Curio]

YOU CAN ALWAYS TAKE MORE, BUT YOU CAN'T GET IT BACK OUT OF YOUR ARM AND INTO THE SYRINGE, OR YOUR STOMACH SAFELY OR EFFECTIVELY ONCE YOU TOOK TOO MUCH!! Nick has a way of stating this phrase way better than I, but it can't be stressed enough people! ^^^ like someone or a few mentioned being laid out flat, with amnesia, being involuntarily committed...or heaven forbid INTUBATED....not worth putting the carrot into ass of the horse instead of letting it LEAD HIM .... uh did I just say that


MY experience RE: soma.... I was easily taking major doses of OC at the time, but one whole 350mg soma kicked my butt by itself! thought I was gonna have an acid trip or flashback....that said, I used to hate them screwing up my opi high, now they potentiate nicely...but I did go a long time only taking half, then another half gradually working up.

also, if using for muscle spasms...beware of REBOUND, unbelievable muscle spasms/knots that force you to take even MORE....

<<<< this all said as I sit with my newly acquired bottle of soma and 3 down the hatch of course...;)

I love them! I can actually catch a buzz just off the Soma's. I can never tell how I'll react when I take them though. Sometimes I get a buzz, sometimes I get super sleepy, sometimes I don't feel much of anything. But they are a nice compliment to all opies in my opinion. Enjoy!

SWIM feels the same way, can get a buzz from just a few by themselves, but sometimes just sleepiness. 2 somas and your standard dose of opies works very nicely together.

[exitwound]

I have a nearly unlimited supply of Soma; I only need a few per week, but I get 90 per month and have a year-long script for them. I've only refilled it once so far.....now that I have prescription coverage, it's tempting to stockpile for a rainy day :-)

[exitwound]

If you are taking opiate doses which are dangerously close to the region which may cause you to have puking session.....BE WARNED! Soma will also tend to increase the odds that you will vomit, especially if you are sensitive to this effect. I have to be careful about taking soma right before I go to bed, particularly in combination with high dose opiates otherwise I wake up the next day and puke up most of what I ate the previous night -- discovering that it has barely been digested at all! Not good.

[oxymoron]

well so far so good, I've been eating 750 vikes and somas all day, nice buzz, but I've noticed that it makes me lazy if I sit down for a while. Compared to straight vikes that make wanna get up and work, although oxy is my work drug of choice, they get me kinda spun, but with great concentration, strength and reasoning abilities. I just took three of each (vikes and somas) and I'll bet the nods will be upon me soon, which is okay cause I'm home. Seem like a good deal at a buck each. Definately seem to help with the sore muscles from dirtbiking over the weekend, I have not a sore muscle in my body, although they don't seem to rob me of any strength or coordination at work.

[Sumocat]

Ahhhh, vikes and somas..or, as some call it, the 'ole "Las Vegas Cocktail". In my experience, they go together really well.

The vike buzz with soma comes on and in like a lover's footsteps. The peak stays nice and even for about 2 hours, and the overall effects seem to stretch out the full four hours as they were meant to.

Key here is not overdoing it. Try taking the soma only every other dose: soma + vike, just vike, soma +vike...you get the idea. Otherwise, drowsiness/side effects from the soma will build up.

Enjoy!

[oxymoron]

Well this news just in. Luckily I had today off work, too many Soma=Coma LOL. I took about 4 of them last night and just got up 10 hours later, shit I don't even remember laying down. Remarkably I don't feel too bad. One more thing I'd like to add about Smas, is DO NOT CHEW THEM, they taste horrible, and this is coming from a guy that like the taste, of Vikes, Norocs, and oxycontins

[earthenone]

Yes, I think somas are the worst tasting pills made, but the buzz is nice to me, goes well with t, painkillers, or just as a stand alone.

I wish you could see the look on my face. I can't imagine chewing them. They are the one pill that consistently gets stuck in my throat. I have to mentally prepare before I swallow them. They are sooo gross.

Shit I remember that. I took a bunch of Vicoprofens at school a couple of years ago with some Soma and fucking puked my guts out. I love Soma but have had some bad experiences which is nuts because anyone that knows my benzo tolerance would be freaked out by the things Soma does to me but I guess it shows how different the drugs. Soma also reminds me of a more pleasant euphoric vodka buzz.

[Sitar]

Carisoprodol, which is the active ingredient in Soma, is metabolized into meprobamate, which is related to the Barbiturates. That's one reasonable it's so damned pleasurable to take.

I've never had a true Barbiturate (even in drug detox, the fucking assholes wouldn't give me Phenobarbital and only gave me crappy Librium to calm me down when I began freaking out and threatened to leave early- I learned to fake nausea so I could at least get knocked out on good doses on Promethazine, but that's another story for another time). But I've had Somas many, many times and they're great stuff. I love them.

Soma metabolizes into a drug similar to a Barbiturate, so that's why they're far more pleasurable to take and more desirable than all the other muscle relaxers out there (Skelaxin, Robaxin, Flexeril, etc.) Only Soma and Valium come anywhere near an adequate muscle relaxer.

Again, the only thing wrong with Soma is how short-acting they are; usually within 2 hours. They do compliment opiates oh so well, but caution must be taken to avoid a toxic overdose.

Here's to Somas... haven't had 'em in a long while, but I love 'em! :drunk:

[satori]

I have 200 of these little fuckers. I started to.... "abuse them" and i dont remember anything from that week at all. I started noticing posts on the internet i didnt remember typing and people talking to me about things i didnt remember doing. SO! i stopped. I have fioricet but i havent taken any yet.... yet.
