Maybe (not) . . .: Everyone's different. Your response to exact same dose of exact same drug may be different from your brother, sister, mother, father, friend, etc. Soma (carisoprodol) may affect your brain & balance. Yes, it is that strong for some people. Therefore, don't take 1st dose before driving, operating heavy machinery or signing documents w/grave import.
