Hi There

After going through your query I understand your concern.

I would like to tell you that upper back pain including shoulders and neck can be typically because of long-term poor posture, improper lifting techniques, overuse of muscles or an injury. Treatment for upper back pain and stiffness includes self care ( activity modification ),Ice and heat therapy and pain relievers.

Myospaz is a good skeletal muscle relaxant and don't have any drug interaction with your anxiety medication. Kindly consult with your physician if pain persists.

Hope to have been helpful.

Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Bansal
