You are obviously a victim of a doctor caught up in the wave of fear to prescribe pain medecine. IF you have been on percs for three years, then that is bull**** that they cannot increase the dosage. IF they feel you are not really in pain, and just want to get high, then that is ONE big reason why they would discontinue treatment with that drug. Percs contain
Oxycodone hydrochloride, which is the main ingredient in
oxycontin as you probably know. There is alot about oxy abuse in the news and doctors are scared to prescribe it. Your best bet is going to a pain clinic, to a specialist. This is costly though as you mention. You might seek an online presciption but I have yet to hear of a trustworthy one for pain meds. I am in a similar situation, and if you hear anything, let me know. thanks. best of luck.
