Which one of these would be better for someone bothered by frequent cramps in several muscles? The cause is unknown.

Sorry if i'm placing this wrong. Would appreciate a quick reply.
 
In my opinion either..or maybe both. 1 and 1 could me a nice lil cocktail but be careful if you are benzodiazepine naive..

Also get some electrolytes and plenty of water..magnesium and potassium are great for cramping muscles.
 
lorazepam both more effective and safer all-around

as a 3-hydroxy-benzodiazepine it is excreted in urine almost entirely within a day or two, making physical dependency less easy. very minimal rebound anxiety/negative effects vs alprazolam. imo the safest benzo for many reasons, most just hate it because they dont feel any sort of high from it.
 
I’ve been on alprazolam for about 6 years now for intestinal muscle cramps, prescribed 2.5mg/day. It works wonders for me.

But I have never tried lorazepam. Diazepam works even better but the half life is so long my doctor doesn’t want me to switch to it.
 
Alprazolam is one of the worsts in my opinion too short of a half life, too fiendish I d definitely go for lorazepam
