Many patients who begin powerful drugs for pain relief need to have their dose adjusted in the beginning of treatment. You need to let your doctor know what’s happening so they can adjust your dose and timing.

I agree. But, how do you approach this without looking like a drug seeker? I should clarify with my MD if he has any concerns about me in particular. Said he wouldn't give breakthrough meds because I wasn't responding to the opioid. I know extra padding would be helpful but stubbornly isn't happening. This conversation has been validating. Thanks for mentioning.
