Soma in system

eiggiesmama,  All drugs are usually out of your "system" in 3 days.  Meaning your blood system.  However, some drugs can stay in your tissues for approximately 2 months, and may give you some withdrawal effects.  What you are taking is a muscle relaxer.  If you have only taken it a short time, you shouldn't have any problems stopping it.  However, since it is an addictive drug, do not stop it cold turkey if you have been taking it for a while, without talking to your doctor and tapering off of it, slowly.

hauman's- a typo?

In humans, carisoprodol (Soma) half-life has been reported to be between 8 to 10 hours.

After 5 half lives, about 1% of the drug remains in your system.

For Soma, the math indicates that there will be a 99% reduction in the drug after 1.67 to 2.1 days.

P.S. Soma is not routinely screened for on urine or blood tests.

It can be detected, however.
