Yes: Soma (carisoprodol) can be quite sedating and there is potential for addiction and abuse.

Soma (carisoprodol): Unfortunately we don't know anything about you, not even your age or what happened to you so we can't give you a useful response; however, you may be sensitive to the medication or over dosed, I would suggest cutting your dose in half or possibly divide it over 24 hours so you are not "knocked out". Your muscle strain will also respond to physical therapy and topical caloric treatment.
