DrugBuyers.Com: Need to establish records...need your input

In my personal experience, you can't just tell your doc you don't want to try his recommendations unless you have tried the brug treatment before. He truly is the one that can make or break your records and or attitude in your records when he recommends a non-narcotic approach to your pain relief.
If you do deny his RX for a non-narcotic medication for back pain relief, it can come out looking like you are a drug seeker.
I have had back pain for over 9 years, since I was 19-20 and have gone through the gamit of EVERY non-narcotic medication under the sun. I do feel if I EVER refused or debated with any of them that they would not work before trying them, I would have compromised my records as well as my back pain treatment in a way that may have followed me to this day.
I would explain that you have tried, aleve, motrin, tylenol, or any other OTC medician and they did not work. That you are very frustrated adn would like some thing that would finally work. Including that you have had friends give you samples from their doctor of any other medication that you can think of so he knows that you have tried on your own to alleviate your pain with everything that was available to you without a RX. Although I would NOT argue with him if he does give you a medication that is non-narcotic.
I would follow-up with him in a day or so afer his recommended medication and that it isn't working for you.
THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO IS REFUSE his treatment unless it follows your narcotic medication you are looking for. In the event you do, he can either see through the BS and see that you will not be happy unless you are given a narcotic solution, or that you are trying to argue with him until you get your way. Either way is detrimental to the future of your medical care. Either way is not good.
My wife and I have gone through the same thing. Especially since we have moved so much and I have seen so many different doctors.
My wife has even told the doc that we are so burnt out on ever new doctor that with each new doctor it seemed he wanted me to go through the same rigors of being a pharmacutical guiney pig.
She would go as far to say that she is also tired of me being put through the pharmacutical list that every doctor has, until I was finally given something that would work.
That every day when they went home to spend time with their family I was went home to suffer yet another day of hell until fnally I agiven someting something that would work for the pain, and was finally given some relief.
It is a tough line to stay on, although sometimes your best bet is to follow your doctors advice and give feedback ASAP based on your experience your new medication.
Good luck, most of us have been through it, and know what you are up against in this war on pain management and war on drugs at the same time.
