Posted on Mon, 8 Jun 2015
Question: I would like to have the meds I am taking for chronic low back and neck pain with radiculitis in arm. I am taking zyprexa. Effexor, ambien. Xanex, and oxycodone and hydrochlorothiazide-I was able to reduce the zyprexa and Effexor at lower levels, eliminate xanex and ambien by using medicinal marrijuana, and got down to no oxycodone-then I had an acute cervical radiculitis onset following an epidural injection in lumbar region---now I am back to taking everything again....would like guidance on best meds for me and dosing
