Soma is not a controlled substance by definition; however, there are still some drug tests that are more detailed that can detect soma. Soma actually after metabolized does contain an older drug commonly called miltown that is considered an opiate so to be safe I would not take it unless you have a prescription. It is also very addictive and the withdrawal's can be horrendous.

Is soma a controlled drug in Michigan?
Yes. Soma, the trade-name for carisoprodol, became a schedule IV (4) controlled substance in Michigan on January 1, 2012. Previously, carisoprodol was not a controlled substance. Prescriptions for drugs scheduled II, III, IV and V are tracked in Michigan's Automated Prescription System (MAPS), which is used to spot potential misuse, abuse and diversion of controlled substances as well as to detect "Doctor shopping." Carisoprodol was raised to CIV (schedule 4) status because it is the prodrug of meprobamate, which is already CIV, and so that prescriptions for it will now be tracked.

Is soma addictive?
Indeed it is. Soma has the potential to produce physical dependence with prolonged use. Withdrawal of the drug after extensive use may require hospitalization in medically-compromised patients. For example: In November 2007, Carisoprodol (Soma) was taken off the market in Sweden due to problems with dependence and side effects. Soma abuse has resulted in a number of states scheduling Soma as a controlled substance. States that have taken this action are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, and West Virginia. Soma is not scheduled at the federal level. However, reports of Soma abuse are being monitored by the Drug Enforcement Administration, and Soma could be listed under the Controlled Substances Act if warranted.
