dizzygirl Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 i was given a script for a muscle relaxer SOMA.. to help try and treat my unrelnting pain issues...(lots of really bad hip pain..causing the muscles to spasm badly..ouchies)I am allergic to so many narcotic meds that the doc thought to try miuscle relaxers instead and pray that i dont have a reaction..we went with soma b/c i was on it in 2001..(along with multiple other muscle/pain meds) about 6 months prior to the totally meltdown in 2002.. I was on it about a 10 months or so.. and i dont really remember if it helped or not..my old pcp would not give me muscle relaxers b/c of my pots.. and i wondring of your guys opinion on the matter... my current pcp said that there is always a chance that it wil interact w/ things.. as my system is so overly sensitive...thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Dame Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 I used to take muscle relaxers for my chronic pain too. They kind of helped with the pain, but they also made me reeeeeeally loopy I used to have really wierd dreams if I went to sleep while on them too...I hope they help your pain! It's no fun to be in pain all the time Let us know how you do!Hugs,Lauren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Tired Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Hubby takes soma. I used to, and have forgotten to ask the doctor for some, so on nights when I'm really hurting I will take some of his. But I cannot take a whole one because it will affect my heart rythm, but I seem to be able to tolerate a 1/4 of one just fine. Then again, I might be able to handle a whole one if I didn't take 2 Vicodin with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
