Does Soma Have A Equivalent Without The Side Effects?

Hi I am struggling with finding a replacement medication for Soma . I have taken them for many years for chronic back pain associated spasms and have not found anything comparable in efficiency. have tried baclofen, and flexeril to name a couple. Soma works great but, about four years ago I took two and felt kinda like I was flying, I got pretty high on those two pills. Well here I am four years later with a pretty serious addiction to them. I could drop them if I had a viable option that worked as well as the Soma W/O the high. any suggestions?
