Taking Oxycodone With Xanax

I have been made to go to a pain management center since my Dr moved away. She was useless anyway. I found a wonderful new doctor and I have an orthopedic Dr. My new PvP has me on xanax because I broke my ankle and they did surgery, they cut the none out and replaced it with titanium rod stews and a plate. I have literally been in a cast and not able to walk for 9 months so I began to feel like the walls were closing in on me. I couldn't breath. I tried to take the cast off. In a way I went bat s*** crazy. I was put on xanax and it helped me. I'm now in a "boot" which is better. Now here inlays the problem: my DOCTOR and my ORTHOPEDIC DOCTOR said to take the xanax. I went to pain management to get refills for my oxycodone and the girl who is only a nurse practitioner told me I couldn't take the xanax and the oxycodone anymore and she said "you choose which one you want because your not going to get both." now my question/problem is....pain management doesn't give me a script for that, my real doctors do. So who the hell does she think she is? She isn't my DOCTOR so why is she telling me what meds I should take and then turn around and tells me not to take the meds my REAL doctor prescribed? Any suggestions? Ideas? Any words at all?

Hello, Michelle! How are you? I'm sorry about the issue you're dealing with.

However, pain management clinics are allowed to set their own policies on such things and many of them will not allow their patients to receive any controlled substances from other doctors. Usually, it's in the contract or consent to treat paper that they have you sign and by signing, you've agreed to their policies.

One idea would be to speak to your doctor about trying something that isn't a controlled substance, such as Buspar. It is just an anti-anxiety medication. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth.

Does anyone else have any ideas or advice to offer?
