Meprobamate Vs Carisoprodol Vs Zanaflex

[glenrunciter]

Actually I am only familiar with Some (Carisoprodol)

Carisoprodol is supposedly metabolized into meprobamate after ingestion...now meprobamate was known in the US as the brand name Miltown, and is rarely seen here.    I have heard conflicting reports suggesting meprobamate and carisoprodol are basically the same thing...........I have also heard that meprobamate is slightly stronger (which would seem to be the case if Miltown is no longer prescribed in the US due to abuse potential.    I would just like to get this straight, as I'm very tempted to try mepro but if it's basically Soma I won't bother.

And then I'd like to know how Zanaflex compares to Soma/Miltown....?   Other than being muscle relaxers...I'm not sure if they have much in common.    Shall I even bother messing around with Zanaflex ????    Thanks for any input...much appreciated.

I'm not familiar w/ Zanaflex but Soma kicked my butt. Have you tried flexeril? I've been using Flexeril w/ good results, flex taken w/ valium, great results. Much luck  /default_unsure.png

I've tried mepro and it isn't the same as s0ma, despite being what soma is metabolized into. Hair ~o~in is supposed to be metabolized into mor~feen but I'm on a relatively high dose of 'feen and the one time I tried the other, via insufflation (sniffed not eye v, it packed a much greater punch. And zanaflex was a disappointment. S0ma is the best muscle relaxer I've ever used, but in high dose it causes tremors and higher doses causes s0ma coma. Mepro has fewer of the side effects like tremors, but it never really made me feel good like s0ma. It was also cheaper to buy the s0ma, and given the amounts my GF and I can go through that is a big help financially. In the email only section they can be purchased for a real good price, thanks to H-man for posting the link. I've heard some people can get a lower quantity and better price, but 500 for 155 is a great deal so despite the large quantity it's a pretty good brand.

I hope that helps, just be careful not to over indulge.

Zanaflex works great for putting you to sleep when you are in pain. In fact nothing, I mean nothing I've ever taken has put me to sleep as fast as a 4mg Zanaflex. But in terms of being high, it doesn't have that effect even if you can fight off the drowsiness. Soma is a great muscle relaxer but if you take more than you are used to you will have trouble keeping your eyes from crossing. ha-ha. They are strong. Tolerance builds quickly.

I don't recall zanaflex but Flexeril knocked me out cold, and left me sleepy for a long time afterwards. The only thing I've ever taken that would compare is a tricyclic AD like Elavil. How anyone could function on those is beyond me. My wife like the flexeril for some reason, and it comes with a warning in the PDR to avoid giving to people with a history of abuse.

Too me about 5-6 s0ma is the best anti anxiety med I can find. But that is me, do not try taking that many if you are not familiar with them. At best you may get tremors, at worse a s0ma c0ma, where walking and talking is difficult if not impossible. The good thing is they have a very short half life, so it passes quickly but you don't want to be around others like that or they'll call EMT and have you taken to the ER. Unfortunately I say that from experience. And YH is correct, daily use and a tolerance builds up very quickly.

Soma takes the cake for me too. Flexeril and zanaflex dont do shit for me. I agree with ht that soma is an amazing anti anxiety med as well. The euphoria is the bees knees for sure. All the pain is gone. "Soma Coma" as ht aptly calls it is really really bad. There is such a fine line between a good buzz and disaster. It will sneak up on you with no warning and render you useless. And yes, people will call 911. If you take soma for a buzz and you are around others, make sure you have a story prepared ahead of time. You may need one. Anyone with a history of abuse should NOT take soma. Unless you are me of course. Ill pretty much take anything to the extreme.

I think most people who ever try them eventually reaches a point that only other users can understand. A few is a  lot more enjoyable than too many. It's pretty much like alcohol in a pill, with some shaking involved. lol.... They will leave you with stories you don't want to share if your not careful.

It's funny to me how hard it is to accurately dose them when you get a good and proper tolerance going and then, say, skip three days.  Your dose can be at your starting point or it can only have moved like a gram south.  Very interesting to me.  Also, they can wreck your world if not controlled properly.  I've seen too many people take them thinking that they could then 'party' on them... messy, always messy.

Meprobromate doesn't feel quite like carisprodol, but I'm told if you do it right it's similar.

From what I understand mepr0 is what s0m@ is metabolized into by the body. I've taken plenty of both and mepro has never produced the same effect as s0m@. All I get from mepr0 is the drowsiness that s0m@ eventually produces. Although both are rare apparently mepro is almost never scripted as I've never known anyone who has spoke of getting them from a doc. 

The difference in reaction can be from what, or if, one eats something. Also can be from the variation of active ingredient found in generics. I wouldn't say that trying to party on them always ends up messy. It takes careful control of the amount used and waiting the proper time before taking more. They can cause havoc if not given proper respect, I've got the scars to remind me of that.

Meprobomate reigns!

I have been taking flexeril for back pain and spasms after surgery a few years ago but with not much effect. I am thinking of ordering Soma. Does anyone in a similar situation have any advice on the situation? Much obliged.

 

[dave2002]

Soma is great for relieving spasms. For me Val does it better though. Tolerance is an issue with carisopr@l so you need to take more. There some vendors here that carry it so read through the threads and make an informed decision. Good Luck!

 

[headbanger]

There is no generic for Meprobomate so open up your wallet. I take flexeril for neck pain. It helps some.

 

[nickiean]

I have taken just about all the muscle relaxers out their & to sewma's are the best. That is just my personal opinion.

 

[nickiean]

Be careful who you order from because some of the brands are just not good.

 

[GimmeAbreak]

I have used soma and zanaflex in the pest. Have always found the soma worked better, but the zanaflex were good for taking at night; as they would help with pain & sleep /default_smile.png

Hey guys, i am thinking about xanaflex. Does it make you sleepy? I wish i could take Sewma but i just cant.

Sorry but it's been so long since taking those that I haven't got a recollection about the drowsiness that particular product causes. And it's going to be a general opinion where your personal experience may be different. I hated the drowsiness vals caused so much I'd take them very rarely, where most bz lovers prefer them. At least thats my take reading others thoughts anyway. If they don't work for you try the mepros from TTM, ime they are much more forgiving than sewmah. 1 or 2 at bedtime should tell you something, if you can't take them I know someone who can. /default_wink.png
