RICCI: I did not at the time in question. I got in a severe car accident about 18 months ago. I was given the proper medication to take on an as-needed basis, and I've just been trying to recover from that.

Comment - Sounds to me like she was addicted. I would bet big 'as-needed' was in actuality 'every night'. And I be she's 'trying to recover' because her doctor is scrambling to get her off them because of his liability of having her on this narcotic for a year and a half.

Soma (carisoprodol) is not a narcotic. It is a muscle relaxer, that really relaxes one well. Um, street junkies love the generic form of Soma, it is easily dissolved in a solution, and then can be injected, which gives them a better rush. There was one doctor in town who was known for prescribing carisoprodol for all types of pain, the addicts were lined up for miles to get scripts from him. He finally lost his license to practice medicine. (Note: I did NOT accuse Angela Ricci of injecting the stuff, just this is my work experience with the drug.) Oh, and carisoprodol in conjunction with narcotics has a synergistic effect, which means they give a higher "high" taken together. Now I'll quit blathering on...
