Hello, Susie! How are you?

I really can't speak for your doctor and what they will or will not prescribe. The only thing you can do is talk to them about it at your next appointment. However, I can tell you that asking for any particular medication is bad form, because they will usually view that as being drug seeking behavior. The best thing to do is just let them know that this one isn't handling your pain and let them suggest something else.

Al, have you spoken to your doctor about the problem, yet?
