Yup, I concur with your thesis
I had a doc that scripted me Diazepam for my TMJ. I don't even take it that often. It's just stress manifests in my Jaw and I clench and sometimes it gets so bad, my jaw pops. My old doc said Diazepam is really the gold standard of muscle relaxers. Yea, he was old school. Unfortunately, he retired and the new doc just wants to give me anti inflammatory meds and those don't relieve the clench. I asked the new doc for some Diaz and he looked at me like I had horns coming out of my head and he checked my records and all. But still, he gave me enough to titrate. That wasn't necessary as I wasn't physically addicted.
LAME
