I don't remember if anyone had success with bupe (i did not), but is your doc just a plain GP/internist/shrink? I ask because there is a completely different mindset with pain drs., they understand that pain requires increasing doses of narcotics (I can't believe your doc doesn't get that, it's probably just fear), and will prescribe accordingly. I don't know if your insurance will cover a trip to a pain clinic, i landed up paying out of pocket- but it was the best money i ever spent (and a whole lot cheaper (and legal) rather than going on-line and ordering, which i've done also) let me know whether there is a pain clinic in your town, and if you go i'll post pointers. good luck, judy
