Hi!

I take anxiety meds. Swallowing them was a bit tough right after surgery, but the pain meds made me not care. smile I also talked to my psych and my two main ones can come in a liquid version. I expect I will have to give my pharmacy a bit of notice in case they have to order it, but I do not foresee any other issues. A bigger concern for me was med interaction. I am on a steady dose of Xanax, for pne, and it tends to be funky with other stuff. And my migraine med did not need to overlap with the after-surgery painkiller! But it really is okay. If you have a steady pharmacy you use, they should be able and willing to help answer questions when you get to needing specific info.

Hope your results come back soon!
