Jim, at the time I was actually taking less OxyContin and I was in Percocet 7.5mg qid-5x day for breakthrough pain. My pain was at a 8 or 9 24/7.
The reason they were trying to lower it had nothing to my pain. It was strictly due to pressure from the DEA on the doctors in Casper, WY where my pain clinic is located.

My pain continued to climb out of control until I got Barrasso involved and then it thankfully stopped. They had to increase my OxyContin to 30mg bid and I should probably go higher but anyway, and put me in Dilaudid IR 4mg qid regularly and that brought my pain under around 45% but I also became a zombie.
I asked to be taken down off the Dilaudid onto Percocet 10 which is where my dosage remains.

I think the DEA has way too much power to interfere with the Drs' treatments.
