I re-read the link that Cherie provided with all the information about Soma and I think if I had known all that before I was rx'd this drug, I would have thought about it twice before taking it! Wow! But then again, I was in such pain, maybe not!
Good to hear you are withdrawing comfortably, Cheryl. It sounds like that is the exception rather then the rule with this med.

It seems we always have to look for the lesser of the two evils when it comes to coping with this disease, don't we. Even then, it seems our "solutions" often only last for so long, before we have to start looking for a new fix.

I guess Sinemet stopped working for you for a while? Or did the pain just get worse and you need something more effective (for you) at the time?

Hopefully Sinemet is the answer again . . . for however long it lasts.
