Flexeril does work well. When I worked the neuro unit while traveling, Valium was used quite successfully for muscle spasms in patients after laminectomies, as was IV methocarbamol (I'd never seen it given IV before).Valium works very well for muscle spasms. It's gotten a bad rap over the years, IMO.LOL.
And honestly, who still get's valium now that benzos are on the market?
Thanks. Didn't know that. I always see cyclobenzaprine used for that and was under the impression that the benzodiazapines had largely replaced the barbituates.
