Hello, Lin! How are you?

Your pain may have worsened and/or your body may have gotten tolerant to your current dosage. It is normal and your doctor is aware of that, they should be expecting it to happen eventually. The FDA and NIH even provides guidelines for how to handle it and what the next dosage choices should be, so yes, you may need to raise your dosage.

However, anything over 10mgs does not contain the Acetaminophen that Percocet does, it would be straight Oxycodone.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I'm sorry that you're so miserable, Lin and I wish you the best of luck in getting the help you need.

And please don't be afraid to get a second opinion from another doctor, if you feel it necessary,

Does anyone else have any advice or ideas that might help?
