I was in a car accident and fractured my c-1 c-6 c-7, skull and other less relevant thigs. I have been on norco 10/325 in varying amounts but most recently 5-6 a day ever since the accident (5 years). My pain mgmnt doc has been trying to wean me off unsuccesfully and has switched me to percocet 5/325 3x daily. It is not helping at all. He told me to go up to 4 a day but I've told him that even 2 at a time does not even touch the pain. Why is this happening?

i have had 5 knee surgerys and have been on norcos 10/325 for 4 years. my dr tellin me to take up to 6 a day and i wont lie i do take bout 10. I go to a different doctor that speciallizes in stomach issues... he gave me 5/325 oxycodone and said to take 1 daily. I went to the they filled it at the pharmacy and then when i went to pick up my norcos a few days later the pharmist wouldnt let me fill cuz i got the oxys. she said she needed the dr to authurize it. only problem was it was a saturday and he couldnt be reached.
the pharmacist said it didnt make since that the other dr gave me the oxy which was stronger... but i disagree.... if i take one of those 10/325 i can feel it better that 2 5/325 oxys..
so i had to go through withdrawls till my dr got reached...
just got in a debate with the pharmacy bout which one is stronger... she said 5/325 oxy and my body tells me 10/325 norco... i know everybodys body is different...
i refill my norcos every 10 days..he gives me sixty.. so thats 6 a day. If i take 6 of those 5/325 oxys i dont feel anything barely.
