My doctor for seven years dropped me.

I got a letter yesterday from my doc,telling me he was no longer going to see me as a patient. No explanation.Should I write him back and ask why? This doc put me on Klonopn 3 years ago for RLS, we discussed several times the fact that when the time came if (ever) he would help me get off the Klonopin. Since now I have to find a new doc, what are the chances that he keeps me on the Klonopin? I have never abused my Klonopin, it was the tramadol that the doc gave me that I took to much of. In other words self medicating way over the prescribed dosage. Any feed back would be appreciated.

Please do not get stressed over something that may not be anything. Get a new doctor, ask him to continue treatment, and then go from there. Most  doctors will be fine with continuing a benzo, especially if you prove that you've been on it long term. No respecting doctor should have done this to you without a plan to get you off. That doctor is a moron.

Thank you for your support. My fiancee did some work for a doc who lives 3 miles from me. His practice is opening in 2 weeks I am going to go see him and so is my fiancee.

Good luck

I do not think that is the case I pay for my doc visits with cash and pay for my scripts with cash.

I'm in Pt Charlotte Florida and things are so terrible here also. I am also trying to hang on to my house. It stinks.  I agree with betterlife, have your records transfered to a new doc. Not much you can do once they discard you like that. I've had that done to me also. Hang in there.

I am in Florida, Kissimmee area around here everyone is losing there jobs, homes, cars, etc. In Orange County which is Orlando. They are foreclosing on 30 houses per day. The last thing I need right now is to be off my meds.  I am already stressed enough. I aIso have a 12 year old son who relies on me
