Can't Get Soma & Xanax Together - Thank's Dea

Updated

Im a disabled person that lives in chronic pain every day. And have sever anxiety & panic attacks , so my doctor told me the DEA has Some more New Rules. Because the DEA knows more about how to treat sick people than a doctor. The new rule in Florida is if you are taking Valium or Xanax you can no longer get SOMA. The DEA has made life hell in Florida DEA is treating pharmacies like Drugs Dealers. Stopping the orders from even making it to the pharmacies. I'm talking about big pharmacies CVS Wallgreens and more. It's so bad you can't even get your Legal prescriptions filled. Because the DEA has mad it impossible for the pharmacies to get the medication, and so scared to fill the prescription. And I'm talking about people in wheelchairs with a legal prescription. This should not happen in America

I couldn't agree with you more on the sad approach the DEA has taken against pharmacies all around the country.
If it's any consolation, there are actually drug interactions between Xanax and Soma. Quoted below are the precautions that apply to these two medications:

"Using Alprazolam together with (Soma) Carisoprodol may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience some impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with these medications. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you."

While it doesn't seem to be a significant interaction with regards to one's safety, this combination may have not settled well with others in the past; causing the DEA to want to take some sort of action. This is just my theory, but I know they're intentions are often not for the benefit of anyone else except their checkbooks.

I think many pain patients are finding that leaving the country or buying meds on the street is their next best option. Karma is making its rounds, so I doubt the DEA, FDA, and other gov agencies will stand tall for much longer the way things are heading.

Yea I agree, but I was only taking one soma at night just after dinner and the Xanax was as needed. My biggest complaint is the DEA,They Have made It All But Impossible To Get A Legal Prescription Filled, last Month I Drove For 4 days before I Found A pharmacy That had the medication in stock, And Jacksonville Florida is a big city. If the government needs to save money so badly, then why waist so much on the DEA & the DEA is causing disabled people with chronic pain to suffer

There is some logic that Xanax and Soma share some similar properties. While I wanted to argue with my Doctor, he was technically correct. I got him to prescribe both due to my recent Car accident. He was always unpredictable with giving Soma. Doctors know what it is and what it does!!

I beg to differ...moderate risk is an understatement. My son just lost his father due to him taking both drugs exactly how they are perscribed. The official M.E. ruling was accidental because the amounts found at autopsy were the dosage he should take but yet were toxic. He had been on Soma for years and on xanax for two months.

Sorry to read about your loss but be assured Soma & Xanax are not 'toxic". I have referred to Xanax being "Poison", and I stand by those comments, but only if taken in huge amounts or during withdrawal. Soma for years and Xanax for two months wont kill you unless stopped abruptly, and most doctors wont tell you that.

Hey drugs are like anything else, what works for me dosent work for you. As of NO DEA CHANGES! just closer monitoring cuz of greedy dr an a few amateurs. ive had so much pain i won't even say cuz i am on huge dosage an ate way more but in 7yrs maybe 10 times i took more. no one knows how bad neuropathic pain is till they get it. hunt down real criminals. I don't sell my pills, i take them.

I still cannot get my Dr. to re-prescribe my Soma after being on Soma & Xanax for 17 years. He's giving me the same reason which is taking these together is making some kind of "COCKTAIL"; for street dealers who make drugs. I've gone through the withdrawal & am having all the pain back that the Soma were helping. DEA or no DEA, I depended on the Soma for relief of a certain condition, now I'm suffering & can't find anything else that helps my pain. I DO NOT sell my medications, I most certainly take them. Not only do I get U/A's & have labs to see if I'm taking all of my meds, but they could do a hair follicle & count my meds anytime they want. I'm very close to becoming a complete recluse. Shame on the DEA.

The "Cocktail" your Doctor alluded to is for use at the patient level as the two mix together. These pills aren't needed for some other sinister street use although Xanax is evil.

You said a mouthful & then some. I want & need my Soma back. There's NO such thing as a "cocktail" with taking soma & xanax. I was fine taking both for 17 years. Is this the DEA or is it the Dr.? I've had enough. I'm in chronic pain & now don't have the soma that really helped my bone pain. Why bother saying anything to your Dr. or blame the DEA, no matter which one you do blame, you're NOT going to get your soma back if you're taking xanax.

Jac, being a slave to a drug isn't evil. Being hooked on a medicine isn't evil. Knowing if you stop Xanax can make you very sick, that's not an evil property of alprazolam? Pure evil!
