Hi Kotsunega
My pdoc has given me 5 mg Valium to tide me through the Zyp w/d. Seems to work, but could be better.
Getting legal with Eli Lilley might be a good idea if you could join a large class action, and on a no win no fee basis. Otherwise you might risk spending more money than you want to. There are current class actions on the diabetic front, I believe, and hopefully Eli will get clobbered. I have not heard of a class action concerning muscle spasms. It might be up to you to prove the causal link with Zyp which could be expensive. Much as I would like to see Eli Lilley pay for this harmful drug I would not like to see you out of pocket. But if you can join a class action, with strength in numbers, then maybe you should go for it.
I wish you all the success you need in your next attempt to get off the Zyp. You really need to take it slowly. I was given some good advice by ed_uk. I am sure he won't mind me giving you the link.

I hope this will be helpful to you. It has helped me. BTW have you got a pill cutter. This item is very useful and only costs a few dollars.
Be well
