Az Docs Taking Ppl Off Oxycodone, Need Advice

I am currently taking 30mg oxycodone 4x daily. I have failed back surg syndrome and many other herniated discs in most levels of entire spine. The recent CDC crackdown is effecting the way docs in Arizona write for opiods here. No one wants to write for immediate release oxycodone (from what I've heard, it's due to people overdosing, selling them, and abusing them). I happen to be someone who takes them as prescribed, and I'm being punished bc of the "others who've screwed it up for ppl like me". My new pain management doc wants to move me to Fentanyl Patches (25mcg @ 10/month), Opana ER 10mg quantity of 60/mo, AND morphine ER (not sure of dose). This seems excessive, and that's where I'm going with this. I'm on Medicare with no Rx coverage. My 30mg oxycodone costs me about $45/mo and it works great. The new plethora of meds he wants me to take will cost me over $400/mo. It seems I need to see a diff pain doc, however, I don't know any docs here. I went to the doc my family practice recommended. I live in Gilbert. Looking for a doc who's reasonable. It's not broken, why try n fix it?? All I want is my normal Rx of 120 30's a month. I'm getting jacked around and I don't know where to turn. Thank you kindly in advance.
