dear toni,
when i was recovering from my hysterectomy i had so much anxiety the
dr. had to put me on xanax(panic) and demerol.it seemed to help a lot
but it made me really groggy.its just a suggestion.he then put me on
lorcet which was ok until i deeveloped left side pain which is the
side he didnt take out and found a cyst.so now i am takig percocet and
it helps...he said that side may need to come out later if things dont
improve.i hope all is well with you and please e-mail anytime.
