My husband has been at every appt with me and has told him EVERYTHING. The Dr. has said, "I'm not going to get you strung out on unnecessary medications." My family member who is a Pharmacist has said that the Dr. does not understand that when there is a real level of pain, and when pain medicine is taken, it literally eats up all the pain and there is no "high." He has made it very clear he is NOT budging on any dosage increases. Not only is he not willing to change doses, I am not allowed to pick up my prescription for the percocet until the day it is due (office policy) not even post dated. Which every month causes a problem because I live 45 mins away and have to find a family member or a friend to go wait on the office door steps to get it, take it to the Pharmacy, have it filled and drive 45 mins home. All the while I am in dire straights. Also if my refill date happens to fall on certain days he is "out of the office" or on the weekend, well.... I am "just out of luck" did I mention he has the rudest office staff as well. Pretty frustrating. About the seizures- he said it's from RSD.

Distances, and regulations for opiates make what you described a chore for many of us.

I understand he won't increase your dosages, but will he give you an ER form? You will get more relief and have less chance for a "high" that way. If not, perhaps you need to look for a doc closer to home that will be more reasonable.
