Cyclobenzaprine is used short-term to treat muscle spasms. It is usually used along with rest and physical therapy. It works by helping to relax the muscles.Diazepam is used to treat anxiety, acute alcohol withdrawal, and seizures. It is also used to relieve muscle spasms and to provide sedation before medical procedures. Valium belongs to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines which act on the brain and nerves (central nervous system) to produce a calming effect. It works by enhancing the effects of a certain natural chemical in the body (GABA).

Prescribed for muscle spasm. Used to get muscle spasms in my lower back when sitting up or laying down, at random times. Been taking for about 3 weeks now, and no more muscle spasms. Doesn't help with back pain, though.

I have only taken this drug for 3 days. I take a great deal of medicine otherwise due to many health causes.

Have had chronic back and neck pain for years, but because I was so young no one would believe me. Had multiple neck injuries as teen in high school and at that time there were no advanced imaging technologies of today. Years of pain killers only muffled the pain where I could function. Then in ER visit they gave me Valium for 10 days. I dreamed for the first time in years, I was able to get comfortable to get a good night sleep. Now the neurosurgeon is saying its time for surgery . they lessened the muscle relaxer to xanaflex and only sleep 4 hours then wide awake again.

I was prescribed this drug in 1984 and It completely destroyed my health and ruined my life. I became addicted to it and the protracted withdrawal effects lasted years and were absolutely horrific

NO side effects what so ever... I am puttin ...
