I take Soma for headaches and TOS/CRPS. It seems that if I miss doses I get rebound headaches.

It helps if they are muscular headaches, or mixed type.

I take Restavit, also a muscle relaxant, for those stubborn "bear trap" occipital pains that pain killers only laugh at.
The combination works, but it takes a heavy dose and a bit of bed rest.
I find Tramadol, Panadeine and Restavit together, usually a bit apart, eventually get it under control.
Hit it hard and hit it quick!!!
Otherwise can last for 12 hours or so.

I take Soma for muscle tension type headaches or in combination with Midrin when I get a migraine (Presently take topamax daily to prevent daily migraines but do get the occasional breakthrough). What I can tell you about Soma is that it is a good muscle relaxer, but one of it's side effects is headaches the next morning. If you take it take it with a tylenol (I prefer the 8 hour type). They will help you to sleep better. They don't help with pain particularly so much as they do help you to relax.
