Soma Blackout

A while back in 2020 I was prescribed 350mg tablets of Soma to treat my muscle spasms. I got a 90 day fill so when I picked up the prescription, I had 90 tablets. I got the idea to try getting the euphoric effects from it. I remember taking 2 pills and then blacking out.

My roommate said he found me asleep on the bathroom floor a few times. I told myself “This bed is very hard has my bed always been this hard? I guess it is I’m going to sleep now.” I was told that I went into the bathroom to take my regular meds and I had a seizure and fell banging my head on the tub splitting my head open and giving me a nasty concussion.

I don’t remember going to the hospital, being there, or coming back. I just recall waking up in my bed and feeling my forehead and felt the stitches and I got really confused because I couldn’t remember anything.

A few days later my mom came to my apartment and opened the door and woke me up. My mom said I was blacked out and really messed up for 5 straight days. This is the closest I’ve been to time travel. My room looked like a tornado went through it. I learned that during the 5 days I consumed 50 of the 90 tablets. Other medications were also dispersed around my room. I found-pictures on my phone and conversations I don’t remember having. Needless to say, I plan to be very careful with Soma. It can cause severe amnesia and a long-lasting blackout. I never felt the euphoria consciously but I could have been during that blackout. It caused me injuries and much trouble. Several months later I refilled the Soma and had a similar situation where I appeared really drunk. After that, I never touched Soma again. It’s so risky and I’m glad that during my blackout I didn’t do anything stupid that could have killed me. I should have used more harm reduction practices, or better yet, avoided the Soma entirely.

The author reports taking a total of 17.5 grams (350 mg per pill * 50 pills) of Carisoprodol over the entire five day experience.
