Well, it depends upon what history your Pdoc wants. A DUI but now you don't drink? I think that would give Pdoc an avenue to help you find out what worked in doing that, so you can handle current issues the same way.
Yes, a high use of narcotics can cause rebound pain. The only way to know if you are caught up in that medical issue is to go off them.  Not necessarily permanently... but you know... It could be the very medication you are taking is causing you to need more and more... and beginning again after going off it might allow for less pain on less medication. Good all 'way round imo.
It could be that there's a better medication too...new ones are always coming out.
Yes. Pain causes depression, and depression causes pain. What is their issue?  It's a vicious cycle that you have to manage...MANAGE... and that means getting it to where it is manageable. Work with them as much as you can to do and feel better. You'll learn (maybe the hard way) what really works for you and what doesn't... but fighting or arguing before you try and know is not a good thing...so don't. 
Good wishes!
