Is Back Ache The Side Effect Caused From Intake Of Ativan For Anxiety?

Hi! I have been taking ativan daily about 0.5 to 1.0 mg daily for about a year now for anxiety. I have been having back aches lately and not sure if this may be related. My anxiety is not totally gone but is getting better so I am not sure if I am quite ready to come off them. Is muscle aches a typical long term side effect?
