MY husband is addicted to soma's real bad. He gets to the point were it looks like his muscles are ready to shut down. when he drinks with them it's even worse cuz he starts talking about crazy stuff..... sometimes it's even stuff from like 30 yrs ago. His heart rate goes done so low  and he shakes up @ down........ should i turn him in??

Sometimes you have to do what is right and let the chips fall where they may. She cares about her husband. He is not going to save himself and she wants to help.

is it prescribed by a doctor/  I would call his doctor and let him/her know what is going on with it.  See if there is anything they can do.  Maybe not prescribe it.  But as far as truning him in, I don't think that will get you anywhere.

http://www.justice.gov/ndic/pubs10/10913/index.htm has a bunch of facts about Soma, including signs of overdose, side effects, and a list of states in which it is a controlled substance.  In every state it is illegal to abuse it, but in some states it is apparently illegal even to have it, unless by prescription.

Lots of questions. Does he hold down a job? Has he any other additions? Is he an alcoholic? And where does he get the stuff, from a doctor or on the street? Is he a dealer?

If you don't want him to die, it sounds like some kind of intervention is a good idea.
