I use 5 mg of Valium (generic) twice a day....has made life a whole lot more comfortable, and doesn’t have the Lyrica or sleeping pills side effects. I went from sleeping 3-4 hrs of fitful sleep, to 7-8 hrs of decent sleep. I might wake up to go tinkle, but I’m back to sleep in about 10 mins...It allows the brain to stop whirling and the muscles to relax, so next day there is less muscle pain.
My Internist was a pain management doc and he says at this level it is not addictive. Often I only use the night dose. Some nights when the pain level is high I use 2 eight hr tylenol (Walmart brand) with the Valium.
It’s good to know there is possible relief to you and others.
