HI welcome to HCM.

Yes this could be possible drug interaction in your case.Anxiolytics are known to cause frequent drug interactions with analgesics and antiasthmatics.I advise you to use topical analgesic alcohol spray thrice a day along with topical diclofenac ointment thrice daily in between to relieve your back spasms.An MRI scan can be used in case if you do not respond to these standard analgesic medications.I advice you to consult a Neurosurgeon in case if find your pain harder to bear.Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
