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.

as a nurse i can assure you that asking your physician will be to no avail. if there is no explanation he/she got agitated over something, is not comfortable with your meds or treatment plan or there is a billing issue. those are the only reasons for pt. termination. the chances are high your klonopin will be continued by another physician, as long as your records are transferred. from experience in this field there is no reason to pursue this physician any longer. you will just have to wonder. that sucks but that is it in a nutshell.
