What is Soma?

What is Soma?

This medication may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Soma should never be given to another person, especially someone who has a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a secure place where others cannot get to it. You may have withdrawal symptoms when you stop using Soma after using it over a long period of time. Do not stop using Soma suddenly without first talking to your doctor. You may need to use less and less before you stop the medication completely. Soma can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert. Avoid drinking alcohol. It can increase drowsiness and dizziness caused by Soma.

Before using soma!


Do not use Soma if you are allergic to carisoprodol or meprobamate (Equanil, Miltown), or if you have porphyria. Before using Soma, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have:
  • epilepsy or other seizure disorder;
  • liver disease; or
  • kidney disease.
If you have any of these conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take Soma.
