I should have said discontinued by most companies :)
Carisoprodol is available here as Carisoma. It's virtually never prescribed.
...and likewise
> How do you find methocarbamol? Very little information is available. It's rather mysterious.
Its OTC in Canada from what I can tell though there is a lack of PI on that site.
Find, as in information... http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/methocar.htm
though it is limited. it is in the PDR that I have around here somewhere, I think. Its produced by Watson, here. And possibly another company.
Find, as in personal experience, well, its a weak agent. It requires quite a lot to be effective and is very subtle to notice unlike Soma (double sigh).
Public Citizen as usual has put it on their "worst pills" list, including like two dozen drugs, such as Valium. But that's just my political opinion :)
