Ever thought a muscle relaxer could be more harmful than helpful? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Addiction Connection', Drs. Kurt DeVine and Heather Bell tackle the surprising risks of carsiprodol, better known as Soma. While commonly prescribed for muscle pain, this drug has a dark side with a high potential for misuse and serious side effects, including seizures and serotonin syndrome.
The episode doesn't just stop at the medical facts; it also dives into the drug's controversial history, touching on its connections to Meprobamate and Miltown, and even speculates about its possible use by martial arts legend Bruce Lee. But the core message is clear: relying on prescription drugs like Soma can be a slippery slope, and finding alternative treatments is crucial for long-term recovery. If you're curious about the hidden pitfalls of so-called 'safe' drugs, this episode is a must-listen.
It’s packed with valuable insights that could change how you view prescription medications.
