What is the maximum amount of Carisoprodol?

Answer 1

The highest recommended dose of carisoprodol (i.e. Soma) is 350mg, three times per day.

Up to 700mg may be taken at a time, if necessary. This is usually done at night in order to treat insomnia.

Carisoprodol has a risk of addiction, so care should be taken in any dose adjustments in order to ensure safety.

Overdose is very serious, and care should be taken when adjusting your medication levels without the supervision of a doctor.

Overdose symptoms include:

Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much carisoprodol.

Overdose symptoms may include shallow breathing, vision problems, fast heartbeat, confusion, hallucinations (seeing things), muscle stiffness, feeling light-headed, fainting, or seizure (convulsions).

Any questions or concerns about dosing and medication effectiveness should be discussed with your doctor.
