Muscle Spasm
"Thus  relieved the spasms about 75% compared to Ativan but it made me nauseated and I would gag trying to swallow them whether I crushed them or not,  and also I have to take 1000 to 1500 at one time to feel that 75% relief compared to just one MG of Ativan at bedtime .   Possibly because the Ativan worked so well and I always tested negative on random drug screens (use vs abuse)  I do not  like this medication because my muscle spasms  are so severe and I believe they are caused by my spine being so imperfect that only a true potent muscle relaxer works with me.
