No somas are not benzos


Is soma a benzodiazepine in other countries?

No, it doesn't matter what country you are in. A brick is a brick whether you are in the United States, Canada, France, or any other country in the world. Soma is not a benzo, no matter where you are in the universe.


If you took 700 mg of the generic soma- will it show up on a urine drug test 12 hours later?

Yes, if the drug test able to detect benzodiazepines. Soma is metabolized by the liver into the benzodiazepine, meprobomate. FYI, 700mg is an unsafe dose of Soma. It can cause liver damage. Fun Fact: In 60% of prescription drug overdose deaths, Soma is present.


Is soma a narcotic or benzo family?

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.


Will soma show up on any drug test?

Yes it does show up.It shows up positive for benzos!!Trust me I KNOW from personal experience. Soma will probably not show up on a drug test, and it will NOT show up as a benzodiazepine. It is metabolized very differently, and would show up as something else, if it were to show up at all.


How long should it be in between taking somas?

The maximum safe dose of this habit-forming drug is 350mg every 6 hours. Discontinuation of Soma should be very gradual. A reduction of 100mg per day should suffice for an easy withdrawal. As a side note, the reason Soma was recently placed as a Schedule IV Controlled substance is, it is metabolized by the liver into the benzodiazepine, meprobamate (Miltown) the first benzodiazepine anti-anxiety medication. Miltown is never prescribed, anymore. It went the way of Nembutal and Seconal. Rightly so.


Will carisoprodol show up as a benzodiazepine?

No. They are two different classes of drugs. Soma's action is primarily via its primary active metabolite- a drug called Miltown (meprobamate), a now seldom prescribed anti anxiety medication also used as a muscle relaxant. Although Soma and Miltown effect many of the same neurotransmitters as benzodiazepines they are chemically significantly different.
