Maybe buspirone since it works on lowering anxiety. Muscle pain/spasms can be triggered by anxiety.

I've been using CBD oil to help with a -pre-existing health condition that includes muscle spasms.  It helps take the edge off but, I would like to know of a safe and effective medication for muscle spasms, too.....

I only know of cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) that my husband was prescribed.  It's a largely prescribed drug, but I am not sure how it affects us in withdrawal or if it's a Z drug, etc.  I sympathize with your muscle spasms and/or tightness.  I have experienced this too often but not continuously and have gotten by with taking Tylenol and using a heating pad with stretching exercises.

 

Any buddies have input for Recoveryneeded?  Good luck.

Baclofen. It affects GABA-B receptors, while benzos affect bzd binding sites on GABA-A receptors. So, it will not interfere too much or at all with your benzo recovery but if you take them everyday they become as addicting as benzos themselves. They are not addicting or have recreational value as far as getting high, so if you use them as needed you shouldn't have problems. They are easier to taper than benzos though. It definitely sucks and will make you feel crappy for about 5 days per drop when you taper the baclofen. I was put on baclofen for phenibut addiction which is essentially the same drug.

 

You can always try to Google about muscle relaxers that don't cause any dependency issues but I can't think of any that actually do a good job besides eating cannabis based edibles. If you can get edibles they totally relax your muscles and make you feel good without causing horrific wd symptoms.
