Diazepam is a very effective muscle relaxer, but I believe that the risk of tolerance and dependence makes it not worth the potential pitfalls. Most long term muscle spasm sufferers tend to prefer muscle relaxers like Soma and Zanaflex (Soma seems to be the most popular). Doctors are a little more relaxed about prescribing muscle relaxers than benzos like valium.
A new muscle relaxer, called skelaxin, is the only muscle relaxer I've found that didn't cause drowsiness, but it isn't as effective for me.
good luck,
daddyj
