What Is The Time Frame For Soma To Affect A Person Who Is Using It Long-term?

age was normal for patient
Welcome to healthcare magic!
More than a week is enough for the effect and the doses you have mentioned would produce dependence in double that time, but you have abused them for two long years means you have a risk for developing withdrawal syndrome.
You should decrease the dose of Soma(carisoprodol) first to 350mg take at the same time as earlier, stop fentanyl and tramadol and add tablet Ultracet thrice a day and tablet Lorazepam 1mg thrice a day which should be tapered weekly to bd then OD.
You need to do this whole practice in supervision of your physician.
You should come out of the addiction in a month's duration.
Then if required choose safer drugs for pain and spasm advised by your physician.
I hope this advise would be helpful for you.
Still if you have any queries or doubts, please write me back,
I would be happy to solve them.
Wish you a great health!

Oh, what a gap of communication!
you wanted to know the time of Onset of Action of XXXXXXX at your age female,
I mistook it as if you wanted to know when patient gets addicted to it.
Anyway, XXXXXXX is well absorbed when taken orally and reaches in the peak levels of drugs in about 90-120 minutes.
The onset of effect may be peaking at the same time or it may be delayed considerably and varies person to person.
Reason being the drug it metabolised in liver to it's active metabolite meprobamate which is accountable for most of the activity.
The patient who is fast metabolizer will have a normal onset and a slow metabolizer will have a delayed and varying onset of action and may not find the drug interesting at all. So it's your genes which will decide whether you will benefit from some or not.
You have a host of other fantastic options.
The regimens your clinician would tailor make for you.
I think the advise would be helpful for you.
If you still have queries if any, please feel free to communicate back.
And if satisfied with my solution then please accept the answer and take a moment to express your feelings in the Review Section about my Clinical skills!
Wish you a great XXXXXXX

Thanks for your compliment to me!
First let me explain that the peak level is different from half life.
A patient take the pill XXXXXXX at 5.0, it will get absorbed in the gut to enter the blood. After some time much of the blood would be in the blood and much less left in the gut.
Body starts metabolism at the first site and the excretion also this in what body does to the drug and is termed pharmacokinetics. But the drug would also start it's action from very start- that is when it has started entering the system. This called pharmacodynamics.
When a drug is active itself the maximum effect would match it's maximum level in the plasma. After which body starts excreting the available drug in the circulation and the serum drug levels start falling and come down to half the peak levels, this is called T1/2 life of that drug.
Conceptually if you take XXXXXXX at 5.0pm then according to peak levels at 6.50-7.00pm the maximum effect also should be at the same time, but XXXXXXX is a pro-drug and need to be changed into active metabolite meprobamate which takes additional an hour displacing the peak effect at 8.00pm for normal metabolizer.
Rapid metabolizer would have it earlier depending on the rapidity of his metabolism and a slow metabolizer will get the peal later and with blunted effect.
With tolerance your metabolism become faster and receptor sensitivity and density goes down, leading to an early onset of effect but needing more drug to bring the same relief as before.
I think this explanation would be helpful for you.
If you still have queries if any, please feel free to communicate back.

Welcome back to healthcare magic Physician's desk!
As I told you in latest answer that the level in blood increases steadily as the drug gets absorbed and then it reaches the peak level and then declines.
The drug starts it effect as soon as it reaches the target organs but to sense the effect there should be a critical level of drug in action.
You can guess easily that a person three tablets will have earlier onset the effect and also the stronger effect, but it would not be three times faster as might seem probable, because the absorption is a slow process.
I think the advise would be helpful for you.
If really satisfied with my solution then please accept the answer and take a moment to express your feelings in the Review Section about my Clinical skills!
Wish you a great XXXXXXX
