Hello Clydia,
Methocarbamol is not a narcotic and carisoprodol (soma) is a related drug.
If this drug is not effective for you, you can try other muscle relaxants like chlorzoxazone, tizanidine, baclofen , flexeril after discussing with your doctor.
Also visit a physiotherapist for muscle relaxation exercises.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
