I have never tried Soma before but if your looking for a muscle relaxer you can try Robaxin or Flexeril. ( Flexeril is VERY potent and knocks me on my butt for 24 hours), Robaxin is mild and does not make you sleepy, but Flexeril works really well. I have read that people are getting addicted to Soma more and more but have never tried it myself.

I used it but it didn't work any differently for me than flexeril, which is not really. Robaxin made me nauseated.

Sarandipity I believe had an addiction to Soma, if you can find her on the board.
