What Are The Withdrawal Symptoms Of Soma Tablets?
My wife has been prescribed soma for at least 4 years, takes 1/2 of a 350mg pill, 4 x a day along with her oxycodone. She also has a fentanyl patch (neck surgery). The pain doctor handles the oxy and fentanyl but another doc gave her the soma, but he just retired. Pain doc wont give soma and gave baclofen but she had awful reaction to baclofen. She also takes anti-depressants and Zanax. How bad will her withdrawal be if we can t find a doc to continue her soma prescription?

Hello and thank you for your question. Withdrawal from soma is not life threatening. She should take what she has left and taper herself off of it. Xanax is actually a pretty good muscle relaxant so if she can not tolerate other muscle relaxants then the xanax should be giving her some relief from muscle spasms.
