Brief Answer: So sorry about this Detailed Answer: Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about this situation you find yourself in. Controlled substances really scare doctors and some tend to shy away fro it rather than confronting the situation and working in the best interest of the patient. I cannot understand why a colleague would outrightly deny you medications that you have been taking for the past 10years without any concrete reasons. Unfortunately, only your doctor can prescribe these medications. They have no substitute that can be obtained over the counter. For the pains, a combination of tylenol and ibuprofen would offer some relief. Also, I am concerned about stopping xanax and hydrocodone abruptly because this can lead to severe withdrawal symptoms. Talk to your doctor and plead with him to act fast before you get out of stock because the effects may be too much to handle. Also, ask him if he has gotten any substitutes. Tell him you simply want what would work for your conditions and whatever he thinks can do the job,, that's all you desire. He may have other ideas that he wants to go with. I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for using our services and please feel free to ask for clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health. Dr. Ditah, MD.
