For spasm, you likely won't need to take them long enough to develop any kind of dependence. The spasm should resolve within a matter of days (if not less - sometimes hours). Dependence would typically take
much longer.

Depending on what kind of spasm it is (smooth muscle or skeletal) your doctor may prescribe either a muscle relaxant or antispasmodic (can ya b'lieve it?

). Some of the more common/often prescribed ones include Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine), Robaxin (Methocarbamol), and Soma (carisoprodol).

Supplements can help your body with resistance, but you can still get the occasional spasm, and if you do, I don't know that any supplement will release it, so it's probably be a good idea to have something from your doctor around anyway.
