I'm on many drugs
lisinopril- heart/blood pressure med
atenelol- blood pressure/heart med
lithium- schizoaffective bipolar type
levothyroxcin-hypothyroidism
piroxicam- anti inflamatory drug
valium-anxiety
ortho novum- Birth control
trilafon- antipsychotic
artane for shaking

I believe that's all of them. My question is this bc of the seemed increased anxiety, paranoia, hyper vigilance, shaking I was taken on vicodin, and flexeril atleast this week to see if those symptoms diminish. Anyway those two and the piroxicam were for severe back pain I don't know what I did, just woke up and was in excruciating pain. Does anyone have suggestions for a painkiller type thing? I've had a couple physical therapy sessions where they gave me some heel cushions to put in my shoes for work and lumbar roll to help my back with posture.
Any suggestions would be helpful. Also I can't take like ibuprofen in anything.
Thanks so much!

This is only a suggestion, but if your pain is chronic, or neuropathic, you could try to suggest your doc to prescribe you Lyrica, pregabalin.

Here's a link to a Wikipedia entry for pregabalin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyrica

Hope you find something that helps!
