Neither Soma is a muscle relaxer that works on the neurotransmitters, to relieve muscle pain. It may also relieve pain by calming your nervous system.

Soma has the ability to be very addictive and can cause psychosis when taken for longer than 3 months.

I think because it metabolizes into meprobamate sometimes which is a benzo... they usually dont show up because ive taken ua's and they never showed up and one time it showed up as a bzo and its not a bzo its a carbamate that effects the GABAA receptors like benzos do and i think that is why it sometimes gets mistaken for as a benzo

Although Soma is not a technically benzodiazepine, it is metabolized by the liver into the benzodiazepine, meprobamate. This is why it recently gained Schedule IV Controlled Substance status.

It shouldn't because it's not a benzodiazepine. It is a CNS (Central Nervous System) depressant.
