I take vicodin 5/500 for pain. It really helps me to smash that pain-anxiety-depression-lonliness cycle. Without the pain, I do not have any anxiety about attacks because I know one pill will stop the pain attack within 7 minutes. (even bad attacks-- I take up to 2 and a half at a time).
My Rx is for 4 pills a day, which is enough to stop attacks whenever I eat. I am "bad" about conserving meds, because sometimes (especially when I first renew) I will take them at the first ache. Towards the end of the month, they get scarce as a result. 
I preffer pain meds to anxiety meds because when I stop taking pain meds, I just get pain. When I stop get anxiety meds, I get monster anxiety, which is extremely scary (as well as painful).
I say whatever works. I think it's important to try everything once, because some of these prescriptions have been extremely helpful to some people. I'm ready to dump the anxiety meds, but the pain meds have been a lifesaver to me. I honestly believe I wouldn't be enjoying the quality of life I have if not for these drugs. Best,
