I remember the days back in the army. Next to the motrin, muscle relaxants have been next to the most commonly prescribed drugs out there (or at least that’s how it seems that it is), for the severe back pain and as such as they have been very often diverted to those people who we having no business at all at taking them. besides, I remember that they would also combine it all with alcohol…. As it has been said above, it is all extremely dangerous. Soma and alcohol is surely no fun at all. I have had access to cyclobenzaprine (known as flexeril) which I one preferred more than robaxin (also known as methocarbamol) and I have taken that every single day for sleep for roughly 2 years like that, that is why I am now having chronic insomnia. To be honest, I am pretty curious now on how soma can measure up versus those other 2 popular muscle relaxants that I’ve just mentioned. Is there anybody who has tried all 3 of them and can tell me which are the differences? And which is more potent?
Anyway, if talking a little bit in more details about the fact of alcohol with soma then I can say that whoever said not to mix these 2 then it is a person who is full of wisdom... like for example, if you remember the famous actor who died (if I’m not wrong) back in 2008 Heath Ledger that has found out (or he has not…) when he has died from an overdose of the muscle relaxants, some pain killers and I am sorry in case I am being wrong or anything but he has also used… alcohol.
From as much as I can say from my personal experience, I one have never been able to induce anything resembling a “high” which might be the mirror of euphoria which is being triggered by the opiates or uppers. I can’t be sure or anything because I am just speculating, however I can suspect that this is the real reason as to why soma does nothing with dopamine and it is neither prolonging its presence or dumping it into the synaptic cleft (for those who does not know what’s dopamine, is considered being one of the key stuff of the pleasure neurotransmitters of our human brain).
But, I can say that in case you have taken some soma and you were thinking that it has been vicodin and then you were expecting to get high from it then I have to tell you that the placebo effect should never be underestimated!
