I'm taking diazepam/valium 2.5 mg in the morning and then in the evening. When I first started taking it, I felt a little spacey, but nothing severe. It has been very helpful with eliminating muscle spasms as well as reducing pain.

Concurrently, I'm doing other things like physical therapy, correcting my posture, using break reminder software, etc. to improve my underlying condition. I plan to bring the diazepam down from 5mg to 4mg to ... 0 over time.
