I've been on Diazepam for many years. I'm sure you know it's generic Valium. I
tried moving to Baclofen at one point in time but it didn't work for my muscle
spasms. Probably due to being on Valium for so long. I don't think doctors
would recommend Valium for muscle spasms these days because of the possible
side effects. My doctors have found no deleterious side effects, so their
attitude is why change something that's working and not hurting. I agree. If I
get "weird" spasms, like my stomach, I figure something else is wrong and go
from there. Jeff

I suffered from really bad abdominal spasms. They put me on huge amounts of
Baclofen and even installed a pump. Nothing helped. We found using a Tens
machine usually used by physios did the trick. Machine is relatively cheap and
I put it on my tummy every day. So far so good.

I don't know a lot about those drugs, but is the abdominal spasms something
new? because I get leg spasms at times but when I get abdominal type spasms, it
usually means something is wrong such as a bad bladder infection. Good Luck,
Let us know if you find out what it is or what drug helps later. Dan H*** 25
