I was taking 4 5 mg Vicodin and 5 mg Xanax for many years. I finally had the shoulder surgery and got a staff infection which landed me in hospital for 5 days left there with a pic line for months developed a blood clot while all the time the surgeon keep giving me more and more pain meds. The infection almost killed me and then getting off all the high powered meds almost did too. Went to a physiologist where she has me on prisque -a 75 dollar frolic acid??? And 41mg lorazepam which to me is like a baby asprine. I will not give me anything more. I would like to get back on my original dose of vicodine and Xanax. Can you help me please. I pain I suffer and anxiety is making it hard to get through the day. I have worked hard labor all my life I am 56 and just plain tired of hurting everyday. Other pain meds just don t work and like a said the lorazepam baby asprine. Thank you
