This was interesting. I copy/pasted the excerpts below:

http://www.maripoisoncenter.com/ctr/9509carisoprodol.html

Carisoprodol is the precursor to meprobamate, a strong and addicting sedative agent which itself was used as a sedative/hypnotic in the 1950's before being supplanted by the safer benzodiazepine class of anxiolytic drugs.

The onset of action of carisoprodol is within 30 minutes; its half-life is 8 hours.[4] In one volunteer study, 9 out of 10 adults given 700 mg carisoprodol had peak serum concentrations reached within 1 hour.[8] In one patient the half-life was 6 hours. Within 2.5 hours post-ingestion, meprobamate levels exceeded carisoprodol levels in the blood. Within 6 hours in 9 out of 10 subjects, 92% of drug was present as meprobamate; in the 10th subject only 35% was present as meprobamate (slow metabolizer).[8]



Meprobamate is a barbiturate-

Hope that helped. Google is your friend.

BARBITURATES

Examples: Long acting- phenobarbital; intermediate-acting- amobarbital
(Amytal), butabarbital, talbutal; short-acting- secobarbital (Seconal),
pentobarbital (Nembutal).

Medical uses: Treatment of insomnia (short term only, and avoided
altogether by most physicians), long-term treatment of epilepsy
(phenobarbital), surgical anesthesia.

Effects attractive to abuser: Sedation, loss of inhibitions, induction
of sleep. Generally, the short-acting barbiturates have more abuse
potential than long-acting types.

Adverse effects: Agitation, confusion, nightmares, hallucinations,
lethargy, hangover, suppression of breathing reflexes, coma, death.
Physical dependence is well known, and withdrawal effects can be severe and
dangerous, even fatal.

How abused: Pills taken orally; solution injected intravenously.

Typical urine detection cutoff level: 300 ng/mL

Period detectable after last dose: long-acting 7 days, intermediate-acting
2-3 days; short-acting 1-2 days.

Substances causing false positive results: None reported.
