Soma. I’ve been taking it for years and it works very well and I’ve been on them all over the past 10 years to help with a spine injury. Klonapin would be my second choice

PS: Valium is used as a muscle relaxer. That is what it is normally given for. Here is the info cut from pdrhealth.

Valium is used in the treatment of anxiety disorders and for short-term relief of the symptoms of anxiety. It belongs to a class of drugs known as benzodiazepines.

It is also used to relieve the symptoms of acute alcohol withdrawal, to relax muscles, to relieve the uncontrolled muscle movements caused by cerebral palsy and paralysis of the lower body and limbs, to control involuntary movement of the hands (athetosis), to relax tight, aching muscles, and, along with other medications, to treat convulsive disorders such as epilepsy

A muscle relaxer never worked on me. Valium did. Which is a benzo that is a muscle relaxer also, thats it. But thats weaker than Klonopin.

hot water?
