Buy Soma in the U.S. or Overseas?
Soma is available for purchase both in the U.S. and
from a variety of Overseas Pharmacies. One advantage
to buying in the United States is that you can buy Soma
FedEx next day. Soma without prescription is legal because Soma
is not a controlled substance in
the U.S. An advantage to buying from overseas is that
you can purchase in amounts up to 360 tabs, where in
the U.S. you can only buy soma 180 tabs. It is largely
a matter of preference. The Soma sources listed here
both come from licensed Pharmacies and are prescribed
by licensed physicians.
Soma Uses
Carisoprodol (kar-EYE-soe-PROE-dol) is used to treat
discomfort associated with certain painful muscle conditions.
It is especially useful against various types of pain
(whether or not related to muscle spasm).
How to take Soma
Use Carisoprodol as directed by your doctor. Take by
mouth with or without food. The recommended dose of
Carisoprodol is 350 mg three times a day and at bedtime.
Soma Side effects
Check with your doctor if any of these most common
side effects persist or become bothersome: dizziness,
drowsiness, headache, lightheadedness, nausea, upset
stomach, vomiting. Seek medical attention right away
if any of these severe side effects occur: severe allergic
reactions (rash, hives, itching, difficulty breathing,
tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth; face,
lips, or tongue, hoarseness); agitation, confusion,
disorientation, eye pain or irritation; fainting, fast
or irregular heartbeat; fever, joint pain, loss of coordination;
mood or mental changes; paralysis in the arms and legs;
seizures, severe or persistent dizziness; severe weakness,
tremors, vision changes (eg, loss of vision, double
vision). If overdose is suspected, contact your local
poison control center or emergency room immediately.
Symptoms of overdose may include unusual dizziness or
drowsiness, fainting, nausea, vomiting, facial flushing,
fast heartbeat, and loss of consciousness.
Precaution
Do not take Carisoprodol if you are allergic to any
ingredient in Carisoprodol or to similar medicines (eg,
meprobamate); you have the blood disorder porphyria;
you take sodium oxybate (GHB) or meprobamate.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical
conditions, especially if any of the following apply
to you: if you have a history of kidney or liver problems,
prostate problems, or seizures; if you have a history
of alcohol or other substance abuse or dependence. Carisoprodol
may cause drowsiness or dizziness. These effects may
be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines.
Use Carisoprodol with caution. Do not drive or perform
other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react
to it. Do not drink alcohol while you are using Carisoprodol.
Check with your doctor before you use medicines that
may cause drowsiness (eg, sleep aids, muscle relaxers)
while you are using Carisoprodol; it may add to their
effects. Ask your pharmacist if you have questions about
which medicines may cause drowsiness.
Carisoprodol may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, or
fainting; alcohol, hot weather, exercise, or fever may
increase these effects. To prevent them, sit up or stand
slowly, especially in the morning. Sit or lie down at
the first sign of any of these effects.
Do not take more than the recommended dose or use Carisoprodol
for longer than 2 to 3 weeks without checking with your
doctor.
Rarely, some patients have experienced an unexpected
reaction within minutes or hours after taking this medicine.
Contact your doctor or seek medical care right away
if you develop severe weakness, paralysis of the arms
or legs, severe dizziness, loss of coordination, vision
changes (eg, loss of vision, double vision), joint pain,
or mental or mood changes (eg, agitation, confusion,
disorientation).
Use Carisoprodol with caution in Asian patients; they
may be more sensitive to its effects. If you become
pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss
the benefits and risks of using Carisoprodol while you
are pregnant. Carisoprodol is found in breast milk.
If you are or will be breast-feeding while you use Carisoprodol,
check with your doctor. Discuss any possible risks to
your baby.
Some people who use Carisoprodol for a long time may
develop a need to continue taking it. People who take
high doses are also at risk. If you stop taking Carisoprodol
suddenly, you may have withdrawal symptoms. These may
include stomach cramps, trouble sleeping, headache,
nausea, or seizure.
Soma Drug interactions
It is especially important to check with your doctor
before combining Carisoprodol with the following: Antidepressant
drugs such as Elavil, Tofranil, and Nardil; Major tranquilizers
such as Haldol, Stelazine, and Thorazine; Sedatives
such as Nembutal and Halcion; Tranquilizers such as

so has passed. If you do not remember until later, skip
the dose you missed and go back to your regular schedule.
