Soma compound, Chemical name Carisoprodol, I worked for the company that patented the drug in the 1950's.  The company no longer exists and was bought out by Arm and Hammer,
Soma was a derivative of Mebrobamate, the first of the so called minor tranquilizers.  No one really uses it today, it was the predecessor of the benzos, Librium and Valium which basically took the Milltown or Mebrobamate out as a viable commercial product.  The doses are like 500 mg, a half a gram, so a lot, big pills. and it gives a very slight hangover.  We made a Soma compound with codeine that was a really big seller for back an other orthopedic injuries, we sold it by the ton, literally.  In the day, 1980's could have picked up 10,000 tabs, no one would  have missed them I was a chemist in the manufacturing end, once upon a time.

Wow! I think I could prob talk to you for hours, this is so interesting! Thanks for sharing!

I know a product called DUOFLEX contains ASPIRIN-CARISOPRODOL 50/200MG in the United States, it seems to me it was known as SOMA COMPOUND.
