Soma (carisoprodol) is a drug that can be prescribed by your health care provider if you need to relieve pain and discomfort after some injury. Soma should be taken orally, three times a day, with some food or without. Unless your doctor provided you with specific recommendations, make sure you read the label of the medicine you are about to use very carefully to learn more about possible drug interactions, side effects and health conditions to be reported to your doctor. The dosage you are prescribed will also depend on the drugs you are taking at the moment, including muscle relaxants, vitamins, coughs and cold remedies, sleeping pills, tranquilizers, sedatives, and medications for allergies. Since they can cause interactions, your doctor may recommend taking less of them or will work out an individual dosing schedule tailored to your personal needs.
It's very important that you let your doctor know if any of the following mild side effects start to bother you too much and do not go away for a long time: vomiting, fast heart rate, dizziness, clumsiness, upset stomach, skin rash, headache, or drowsiness. Some of the side effects mentioned are likely to go away on their own and will not bother you for too long, while other ones may actually persist and interfere with your normal life. You do not have to report these symptoms to your doctor. Instead, make sure you watch them for a couple of days – if they begin to get weaker, this means the treatment is going as planned and your body is successfully adjusting to the dosage prescribed, which means you will benefit from the treatment and will be able to continue. In some other cases, however, the mild side effects can get more serious, and this is when you will have to report them to your doctor. Your dose may need to be adjusted and everything is likely to be all right from then on.
