Im thinking of buying some soma but I need to know a few things.

1. Is it physically addictive and if so how long does the withdrawal last?
2. Does it affect GABA?

thanks

Soma (Carisoprodol) is a prescription only medicine that acts as a muscle relaxant. Carisoprodol does not act on GABA but instead inhibits the re-uptake of adenosine.

Don't bother trying to buy it from one of these fake online pharmacies. They are nothing but scams. You will have no idea what you are taking into your body. Research has found that such fake tablets have contained no active ingredient to containing poisons

A considerable proportion of carisoprodol is metabolized to meprobamate, which is a known drug of abuse and dependence; this could account for the abuse potential of carisoprodol.
Maprobamate might be the chemical which affects GABA(a) namely barbituate sites.
