It was almost like a placebo medicine to make you think you were receiving relief. I sometimes wonder if the intent is to just move you on to your next 15 minute appointment and your just going to have to pay to play. The first time I had tried soma was by my primary doc about 12 years ago. I knew immediately they worked. Yes there is a dry drunk feeling that comes with them but it's seemingly short lived. Then the therapeutic aspect kicks in. Taken in conjunction with a opiod pain reliever it is the only thing that makes me somewhat active again outside of work. I used to go on hikes and photo walks almost every other day after work and since my pain was getting worse. I no longer am able to. I have to save my strength for work only. It's a hard line to walk but given time you will find what works for YOU. Since we are all different and our bodies are different.
I'm with you about so ma. It has worked better for me in the past than any other. BUT, now it is almost impossible to get it prescribed. Like with everything else, if it's something that is good and helps us feel better, the government takes it away. I think they like to see us suffer.
