Many thanks any comment really appreciated .

Even at the low dose you are taking; benzos need to be lowered gradually; possibly cutting in half.

I take Diazepam daily for the past few years primarily for muscle spasms too, but at a higher dose than you. When I reduce, the spasms worsen so I continue taking the Diazepam (Vallium). It really has helped me.
