I am not taking that pain medication, but I know your dilemma, and I just want to call my doctor that same night. Actually I did. She did say it may it may be hard but I do have to let my medication build up. She told me to keep a pain journal ( to track the changes or the lack of changes in my pain) and if I didn't she any changes I could call. Right now the dr. is trying administing a different way beffore a diferent dose but, I pushed the dr.
Your doctor probably would be willing to work with you during this month while your trying a new drug, if not, do what I do, be a squeaky wheel. don't let them forget how much pain your in. Good luck let me know what you end up doing. I hate anyone being pain.
