I suffer arthritis and I heard that soma is a dug that works well with arthritis sufferers . as it relaxes muscles, so taking  this medication will allow you to live an ordinary life with less pain. I read somewhere that small side effects do exist including: Slight headaches, Drowsiness & Dizziness. Mixing this drug with Alcoholic Beverages is not recommended. And if you start consuming alcohol with this drug it may increase your dizziness and make you very tired. You may also experience similar side effects when driving or operating heavy machinery so try to limit those activities. This medication should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. Please be sure to drink a full glass of water with this drug to allow it to dissolve completely and work effectively. It’s also similar to most prescriptions; you know the usual, if you miss a dose try to take it as soon as you remember. If it is to close to the time for your next dose just skip the dose you missed and continue normally.
