I had taken soma for yrs but my new pain dr. said he didn't prescribe it and gave me backlefen(?) and it does NOT help at all. How can I change my new dr.opinion of soma?

I have taken SOMA for a few years and at one point found it to be psychologically addictive but found no physical symptoms when reducing or stopping. I still take as needed for muscle spasm, lower back issues, or sleep. But, do not consume daily. I believe it is effective.
