Umm. They are both for pain. I would call your local pharmacy or hospital and ask, just to make sure.

nope.
soma (usually generic carisoprodol) is a muscle relaxer, and usually perscribed with a painkiller, for muscle related injuries.
Vicodin is a painkiller.
Soma is a little harsh sometimes though, and alot of times, doesn't really need the painkiller with it. it will make you feel very off balance, and should be taken before sleeping.
From experience, if i take it too early and stay up longer, its harder to fall asleep because i feel like im hanging upside down when i lay down.
I wouldn't suggest taking these if they were'nt perscribed to you though.. as they both come in different dosages, and could hit pretty hard together, espcially if its more than what you should be taking.

It is usually given at the same time for sprains with muscle spasm. It is only to be used for a very short time and only when you are going to bed. It will make you very loopy. It is very dangerous to drive while on both together. It is also highly addictive. A good doctor will not usually refill this type of combination. You have to have a really good reason to get refills. Otherwise, it is not dangerous.

i do no longer understand what the theraputic dosage is, yet Soma is a muscle relaxer and can loosen up your heart into no longer PUMPING. including the Vicodin into is even worse. in line with possibility you will smoke some pot and freak out and get in touch with an ambulance or in line with possibility you will smoke some pot and be too stupid too ***** as much as call. in line with possibility you will merely die. you pick to sense sturdy, no longer be lifeless. Please re-evaluate.

No they are fine as one is a pain med and the other is a muscle relaxer. These are often used together,

People will tell you it is, however, it isnt. People lower the "safe limits" drastically just to be safe, which is a good thing. I have done it, but I wont recommend it, however if you did, you should be fine.
