Should I See Another Doctor If The Doctor Prescribed More Than 30 Oxycodone 5mg Per Month For Severe Migraine?

Hi I have a question...I have a severe migraine almost twice a week so my doctor prescribed oxycodone 5mg but I told him that some days I don t take any. But when It hurts I take 6 to 8 a day so I can be at work. I can force and be normal with it when I m in pain. He told me he can prescribed me more then 30 a month and only 5mg. An looking at what I am writing to you all....should I look for another doctor for a better solution or what? Before he prescribed it to me, I was always stay in my room and the days I work I took at lease 20 and more Ibuprofen at 200mg a day.
