Chronic back pain and sciatica relief med SOMA

Posted by spencer1082 @spencer1082, 12 hours ago

I discovered this med (SOMA) on a trip to Florida last fall. It provided for me long term relief of my chronic muscle/back pain?
I cannot get this med where I live up north I found out it was discontinued 20 years ago.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can get this prescription medication ? Willing to pay for help.
Thank you.

Yes, Soma (carisoprodol) is still available in the US as a prescription muscle relaxant, although it is less common and harder to find due to shortages. It is available under the brand name Soma and as generic carisoprodol (250mg and 350mg). Due to abuse potential, it is a Schedule IV controlled substance.

Before asking for a prescription check with your pharmacy about being able to obtain it reliably.

Generic Soma (carisoprodol) 350 mg typically costs around $9–$15 for 60-90 tablets using discount coupons like SingleCare or GoodRx, while retail prices without insurance can exceed $30–$90. Brand-name Soma is significantly more expensive, often costing over $1,000 for 90 tablets.

Thank you for your help, unfortunately I live in Canada and although money is no issue I can not get this medication here and would have to go to Maine if possible to obtain which is very close by. It seems this is not possible so I wonder if it is available online?
Thank you,
