Is soma or carisoprodol an opiate or somthing else?
Is it technicly an opiate i thought any muscle relaxer was classed as an opiate.Will it show up in an opiate urine test?

carisoprodol is not an opiate but is a skeletal muscle relaxent. it would not show up as an opiate in a drug test.

What then constitutes an opiate?

[snapper]

An opiate is a narcotic derived from opium. A narcotic is a sedating, analgesic drug (literally induces sleep) and has an effect like that of opium - ie-morphine. Tramadol is therefore a non-opiate narcotic, and heroin is an opiate and a narcotic.
Carsiprodol is a muscle relaxant and has no narcotic effects at all, though it is sedating.

Soma is a muscle relaxer and dangerous to mix with real opioids(meaning synthetics or natural opiates), especially methadone, according to the clinic he used to go to...
