soma long term effects?

[wildisthewind]

I was taking soma a couple of months after my car accident. But since it makes me feel a bit drowsy, I usually take it at night. It helps me calm the spasms on my back so that I can get a better rest. I recommend soma for muscle spasms and of course, physical rehab will work well to help car wreck victims like myself. I would like to ask if there are known/reported long term effects from soma users though. Thanks.

Hi. Soma is may cause physical dependence if taken for a long period of time. Please refer to these links for more information about this drug:

Sue is right. Soma may be habit-forming and the known side effects are palpitations, light headedness, etc. But as long as you take the soma (http://www.order-soma.org/) pills as prescribed by your doctor, you should be ok. make sure you monitor your intake and that your doctor is also informed of it. Hope this helps.
