As we all know carisoprodol (Soma) is a very good muscle relaxant. It is a prescribed medicine and is only suggested for short term treatment. Pain O Soma works with your nervous system and when taken under a doctor’s care is generally safe and controlled. But we have seen in the recent past that people are getting addicted to it psychologically and physically.
When we see patients taking this medication above the recommended dosage you start experiencing blurred vision, dizziness, drowsiness, depression, vomiting, Hallucinations, restlessness and the list goes on. Extended Soma use at high levels can lead to dependency.
When we see a patient who has been abusing Soma and stops taking the drug he is sure to face withdrawal symptoms which include headache, nausea, insomnia, and other related medical complications. Hence supervised medical detoxification is required as a part of treatment. This has to be followed by a recovery treatment.
