thanks janet...i stop taking all my meds periodicly to clean out my system and to see if i go thru withdrawal...i am just in more pain and get a slight headache...i am on vicoden es, skelaxin,oxycontin,prozac,lyrica,xanex,crestor for high colesterol,and detrol la...seems like i spend most of my time in the bathroom and barely making it..have to go at least 20x's a day...i stopped taking the oxycontin for awhile so i would not get a build up and need a higher dosage(currently 20 mg 3x's a day) none of the meds take away the pain..i use lidoderm patches to cover the exposed nerves on my elbow,skelaxin for the muscle spasms..and mostly everything else for pain ,anxiety and depression.... damned if i do...damned if i don't... thanks for help.. linda
