I'm so sorry to hear that a car accident has caused you so much pain for such a long time. Chronic pain is a difficult thing to manage in the best of circumstances.
The good news is that since you are getting your blood levels checked every 3 to 6 months, your doctor should notice any damage to your kidneys and liver at a very early stage.
You mentioned that you are researching new doctors. What kind of doctor are you looking for? You mention that you are tired of taking pain meds -- and I totally understand that. But with your nerve pain, will it be possible to go without them?
Where exactly is your worst pain?
Is there anything that helps relieve it besides the drugs?
