| Add Carisoprodol review I have been on soma, 350 mg tablets, 4 times a day. My new drug prescription plan that goes into affect on July 1, 2013, does not provide soma at a reduced cost. Any idea why? What would be a good medication to use for muscle relaxation? I can run it by Express Scripts and see if they honor other drugs such as flexeril. I took this medication after experiencing an intolerance to Flexeril. I found it very effective at relieving muscle spasm. It does, however, give me headaches if I take it for more than a couple days. | Add Valium review Have had chronic back and neck pain for years, but because I was so young no one would believe me. Had multiple neck injuries as teen in high school and at that time there were no advanced imaging technologies of today. Years of pain killers only muffled the pain where I could function. Then in ER visit they gave me Valium for 10 days. I dreamed for the first time in years, I was able to get comfortable to get a good night sleep. Now the neurosurgeon is saying its time for surgery . they lessened the muscle relaxer to xanaflex and only sleep 4 hours then wide awake again.

I was prescribed this drug in 1984 and It completely destroyed my health and ruined my life. I became addicted to it and the protracted withdrawal effects lasted years and were absolutely horrific I am a 26 year old female who has suffered from panic attacks and anxiety since high-school. I got to the point to where I was so anxious that I could not eat and was down to 97lbs. I was on klonopin for a while until my body became immune to it. I started losing more weight and even hair. I was then switched to valium and it is certainly a miracle drug. NO side effects what so ever... I am puttin ... i ended up falling and gettting a concussion. i was in so much pain at the er here near my house that i was having a major panic attack where i stopped breathing for a minute or two at a time. they came in to check on me and the doctor who saw me came back with his nurse with two 5 mg valium and dilauded for the pain cause i hurt really bad. but the valium helped me calm down within 20 minutes of ... poisen dredfull drug | |||
