I am prescribed 2 somas of evening and 2 valiums at night. I had back surgery and then found out I also had dengerative disc disease and Graves disease. I also take care of a dad with alzheimers and a mom that just had surgery on her leg. Yea I am wore the blank out. The somas help to relax but if I only take them I only sleep 2 hrs at a time. If I take both the somas and valiums by bedtime I sleep maybe 5 or 6 hrs and then have to get up cause back hurts. So i hope this info helps.
hang in there RJS.
stick it out, we are here
Soma (carisprodol) is a muscle relaxer. They will also help you sleep, primarily by relaxing you enough to get some sleep......
