Perhaps this might help. I'm going through HELL with my pain medications right now and therefore I must know a few things to aid my case. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll see if I can find it for you.

The drug carisoprodol (Soma) is to be added to Schedule IV of the CSA (Controlled Substances Act) making it a felony to obtain this drug by misrepresentation, fraud, forgery, deception or subterfuge. It would also restrict prescriptions for this drug to five refills within a period of six months and automatically add it to the controlled substance tracking system. This change is in response to the continued diversion and abuse of this drug.

"People suffering from pain or mental illness did not choose the diseases that afflict them. They should not have to suffer because a controlled substance is the appropriate treatment for their medical condition. As the undertreatment of pain becomes increasingly understood by health professionals and patients, regulators should be sensitive to possible negative medical consequences that can arise from actions to further restrict opioid analgesics and other FDA-approved controlled substances."
