Almost positive the muscle relaxer soma used to be a control substance classified a schedule IV before it changed to a schedule III. I think that if it is a controlled substance by the gov it is considered a narcotic.

Muscle relaxers are not narcotics but they are addictive. The addiction definition says if youre infatuated with something, youre addicted. For me, that infatuation was a muscle relaxer called Flexeril. It totally took over my mind, body and soul. I felt weak becoming addicted to muscle relaxers but after some research, I learned I was not alone. According to the American Addiction Centers, 12,400 individuals were brought into the emergency room because of Flexeril. I hope others dont hide their addiction to muscle relaxers like I did. https://www.recovery.org/topics/flexeril-addictive

Muscle relaxers are not considered a narcotic. However, they do have a high risk for physical dependence. I know this from experience and from a medical standpoint. I got into an accident and had a hard time getting off the muscle relaxers. Just because they arent a narcotic doesnt mean they arent addictive.

The medical industry says muscle relaxers are not narcotics. Medical professionals say muscle relaxers are less addictive than Opiates but from someone who has taken both, I dont see the difference. Opiates mess you up a little bit more but if I were to take more muscle relaxers I dont think I would be able to tell the difference.

Although big Pharma doesnt label muscle relaxers as a narcotic, they still have being high symptoms. Muscle relaxers such as Soma, will make you drowsy, cause blurred vision and a relaxing feeling which makes you keep coming back for more. I know this from experience. I didnt think I could get addicted to Soma because it isnt a Narcotic. However, it took https://www.findrehabcenters.org/community/substance-abuse/are-muscle-relaxants-narcotics
