Muscle relaxers and benzodiazepines are not the same, though they can both have sedative effects. Muscle relaxers, such as cyclobenzaprine or methocarbamol, are specifically designed to relieve muscle spasms and pain. Benzodiazepines, like diazepam or lorazepam, are primarily used to treat anxiety, insomnia, and seizures. While some benzodiazepines can have muscle relaxant properties, they are classified as a different category of medication.
