In reply to Xanax / Anti-Anxiety Drugs Neck Spasms, posted by Cassman on October 31, 2003, at 15:32:41
I have been on Klonopin for over a year. I do have problems with a general neck and upper back "ache". It comes and goes. Right now it's really giving me a fit! Klonopin has worked really well for me and I do have some phyical changes in that area that could explain it, however, I am wondering more and more if some of it isn't related to my Klonopin use.
I would be interested if this is a finding in others also. I don't think benzo's are as good a muscle relaxant as one would think they would be. I have tried various OTC and RX meds for this discomfort. Nothing really helps much. Even actually muscle relaxants don't do much for it, but my dr. would rather me use such a low dose due to not wanting to have too much CNS depression.
I love the relief I get with Klonopin and would really hate to think that's the cause, but there are times the discomfort is more worrisome than the anxiety symptoms I have....So, what to do?
