My doctor warned me that it would make me tired and dizzy but it should take the pain away. For the first few weeks after I was put on the medicine I was not allowed to drive in fear that I would fall alseep at the whell. Instead the medicine really has no effect, the pain is still present and the medicine actually makes me very energetic...I can't seem to sit still after I take it. I was curious if anyone else had been put on this drug??

Soma definitely works the best and I've heard from others on the boards that Soma works best for them as well. It doesn't completely get rid of the pain and it only lasts 3 hours for me, but hey anything to get a little relief. Julie

I found it to be useless and all it did was cause an upset tummy. I also use Soma and out of all the muscle relaxers out there (and I have tried almost all of them) this is the one I have found the most effective and actually does work. I think alot of us have found Soma to be effective. And I have been on it for a while and it has not lost its effectiveness thank god. Amy

It didn't make me sleepy like they said it would. I had been on Soma, but one didn't seem to work and two about put me out of it. In hindsight, I wish I still had it, because it sure beat the Robaxin (methocarbomal) and it is hands down better over nothing, which is what i have now. lol Karen
