Muscle Spasm
"Soma, Carisoprodol, has been the biggest help w/ my spine&#039;s condition, next to an anti-depressant, Wellbutrin, &amp; an anti-anxiety medication, Clonazapam. If a doctor doesn&#039;t understand this,( I have episodes of bulging/herniated discs/bone spurs/all of which will worsen over time, plus arthritis), it is because they are taught not to hear their patients&#039; needs, due to our FDA laws  pressure to not prescribe needed drugs. This medicine is specifically designed to relieve muscular-skeletal pain,(so is Flexeril) that makes perfect sense for me to be taking. Until Cannibis is legalized, any pain relief is always facing doctors who don&#039;t want to help. They took an oath when grad. as an M. D."
