Brief Answer:
DEA regulation on doctors
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I know the suffering of chronic pain, I empathise your situation. However there is absolutely no replacement drug that can fix the pain, when you have to replace it with other pain drug. The doctors generally do a trial and error method. Your previous doctor did a trial on XXXXXXX and Lorcet with certain dosage and he was successful during the first attempt.
So now you have to go throuh this cycle with another pain management specialist in your area since your previous doctor was no longer available. Also please note that doctors who prescribe narcotics are under constant scanner by DEA so they cannot prescribe you full amounts unless proven to.
So it is wise to seek a new pain management guy to do the job once again. I suggest you to gradually withdraw from meds and seek alternate pain management methods which are bountiful and effective like Acupuncture, Accupressure, Infrared thermal therapy. You had not mention complete details of pain for a precise advice on alternate methods.
All the best.
