Taking Oxycodone And Percocet For Vascularitis, Headache, Stroke. Do Not Want To Change Dosage

I am a male 61 years of age . I have had two strokes and have a diease called vasularitise, and I have mini strokes with servitor headaches. my PCP had me on a 15mg. oxycodone three times a day, and percacet 10/650 4 times a day. which I breake the 15mg and the 10/650 mg in half taking them only every two hours this way I can get relief and still function with some daily activitys, without feeling doped up but I get enough major pain relief to do house work go shopping take care of my wife and so forth. daily. now she is taking me off these medications and putting me on 30 mg. oxycodone four times a day, which just makes me feel like I am doped up and cant drive or get through the day with out sitting down and going to sleep. I have asked her to put me back on the 15mg. and the 10/650 mg. medication, so I can fungtion daily. not on some stronger dosage. it not like I am asking her to up my doseages. just leave the at the 15mg. and 10/650 mg oxycodone. I use the 15mg for break thru pain. these are IR release medications. and stop my mini strokes and major headaches. by breaking them in half and taking them every two hours. she tells me its against the law for her to write these to IR release medications. I don't want any thing stronger when these work controlling my daily pain. each persons bodys are different. can she not write a medical over ride to cover her writing my medication this way. we have trided long lacting oxycontin and thing like this and they make me where I cant function daily and doped up and I cant take oxycontin stuff.
