Soma: Your Personal Pain Manager

-



Soma, which comes as a brand name for Carisoprodol, is a wonder drug for people suffering from severe muscle pain. Muscle pain is inevitable and can occur for numerous reasons like a muscle injury, severe illness, excessive physical activity, carrying heavy objects, burns, cuts and so on. However, it is not untreatable.

When we check the same with a doctor or a physician, he usually recommends a painkiller while treating the underlying reason at the same time. Soma 350 mg pill is one such muscle relaxer that has been widely accepted by the masses for treating muscle pain. It works the best when used in combination with rest and physiotherapy.

It is to be kindly noted that Soma (or Carisoprodol) is a pain relief medication which helps in blocking out the pain sensations between the brain and the nerves and does not help in treating the underlying causes of pain.

Symptoms of overuse:

Soma is a prescribed drug but it is often abused for its sedative effects. It was listed as a Schedule IV drug under the Controlled Substance Act of 1970 as the reports of drug abuse increased eventually over the years.The resultant symptoms include the following-
•    Hallucinations
•    Confusion at work
•    Having trouble speaking, swallowing and even breathing

Carisoprodol was primarily used to relieve one from anxiety. Later it was developed to treat muscle pain too. Stress and anxiety are the primary causes of pain. Treating these can ultimately relieve one from the discomfort of pain. Soma is not just a muscle relaxer but also a mental relaxer as it helps us to relax our mind and forget the excruciating muscle pain. It is, in fact, the king of all muscle relaxers used to treat acute pain.
