Day 35 without METHADONE!!!

Well I've hit day 35 and it gets a little easier each day. Had an interesting Dr's appt today, he actually wanted to put me BACK ON Methadone!!!!!!! I about swallowed my teeth (they're not false!!!)....... Anyway, he had wanted me to titrate down 25% through the pain management clinic and I decided I was going off it altogether. I do take Endocet as well for chronic pain and was telling him I'm needing more because I'm off Methadone. He actually told me Endocet is worse for me than Methadone....(Not what I've always been told though).
I told him I need Endocet every 6 hours to treat my chronic pain but he said "you'll be here next month asking for a higher dose that's why I had you on Methadone" He was an absolute jerk, refused to fill out my papers for my salary continuation through UNUM provident cos there is basically nothing else he can do for me. I told him I didn't appreciate him talking to me that way and that it's not my fault the insurance company needs the papers filled out. He put me in a bad spot, and I said, I'm the patient and you are my Doctor and I need this done so I can get paid. He said he had to leave the room to go calm down............ I told him if he had a problem he needs to call UNUM and tell them he doesn't want to fill out the papaerwork and not take it out on me.
Long story short, he prescibes me 10/325 Endocet tells me its the strongest Endocet out there (I was on 7.5/500?? 60 per month) I guess the new one has less tylenol and more narcotic in it? Anyway, he gives me only 90 for the month and tells me that's it and that he'll never prescribe higher, AND SAYS...... "You BETTER only take 3 a DAY!!!!!!! I still can't believe it happened to be honest, I've been with him for years, was feeling good about quitting Methadone at the third attempt but still need something for long term chronic pain control. Does anyone know of the best pain med to be on long term? I know they all have side effects but what is the best out there and longest acting? Please don't say Methadone either!!! I'm not going back on it under any circumstances. One Doc suggested OC which I didn't think was a good idea. Anyway, off to the Seatttle Sounders Inaugural game tonight at Qwest Field so probably gonna freeze my arse off I'm sure. Thanks for allowing me to rant!!!!! Stay strong everyone.
Peace.
