A person abusing Soma also builds a tolerance and dependence for the drug. In a study of 20 Soma users, 13 of them admitted to using more than prescribed. To learn more about Soma abuse, visit www.narconon-suncoast.org/drug-abuse/soma-effects.html. Call 1-877-841-5509 today for a no-cost screening or referral.
