First of all your doctor is Lying to you! I get 6 percocet 10mg a day!!!!!! Sounds like your doctor is afraid to prescribe to you what you need. You might want to tell him that the lorcet does not help, and that you would like to switch to percocet. Percocet is almost 3 times stronger for pain relief and you can take less of it for the same effect on pain. And its spelt LORTAB!
