Soma addiction??

[take2many]

Hello everyone and congtrats to all doing so well with their w/d's! Reading your posts (escpecially soready and okie)have given me the courage to **try**. Has anyone been adddicted to soma? thay are my BIG problem. they are what i crave the most and I know they will be the hardest for me to stay away from. The surprising thing though, is that I asked my pharmacy if my mom could pick up my prescriptions last week, and he said the only thing he could give her were the soma, cause they're not considered a narcotic...how could this be??? I stopped taking restoril 2 weeks ago, percocet 2 days ago and took my last soma yesterday. I have 20 lortabs left, which i'll try to taper off daily. The soma is driving me crazy though! i just went through 90 in 3 days. no other muscle relaxer affects me they way they do. they make me feel happy and wonderful, like a valium or xanax would, but almost everyone else i know thats taken them said soma just knock them out. I don't understand how i got soo addicted to something that's not even a narcotic!! it's been 2 yrs since i've totally detoxed from EVERYTHING, so what should I expect. Should I ask my dr for something to sleep? I just want to try to get through this successfully:}

My mother was highly addicted to soma for years. She was taking 7 to 8 of them at a time and on an average of 40 a day. She ended up in the hospital because of them. Apparently, she had taken a dose and decided to go shopping. From what I am told, she could barely walk or talk while trying to pay for her purchases. The woman at the check-out line thought my mother was having a stroke and called for an ambulance. As it turns out it was just too many somas. Well after a good lecture the Dr.'s discharged her but not before they made it clear how dangerous these things are. She hasn't touched another since that day. I do know that she suffered no physical withdrawls at all....only major psychological ones. Please be careful...they are VERY dangerous. Good luck to you

Man I know so many people that abuse them and I cant figure out why. huh, same with xanax they just make me feel "normal" and I like that.

One thing, Soma is not a narcotic but the soma compound is. They might say COT on the pill if it's a generic. It just has a little bit of codiene in it.
