A few yrs ago my doc. retired heres what happened-My doc. was already semi-retired.He only saw patients on Thursdays.It was wed. and I noticed I didn't get my call stating I had an appointment,so I called the doc. office,and they told me he's not seeing patients anymore,and that I should of received a letter in the mail,Which I did that day,and it said bla bla bla,and referred me to another doc.At the time I was taking 40 mg. of oxycontin and 15 mg. of oxycodone,and 5 mg of diazapam.Now I'm thinking there will be no problem at all,everything will be in my chart.WRONG! The new doc. looked at my chart,and said,'I'm not giving you these meds,there not good for you etc. I said I've been on these meds for almost 2 yrs! He wrote me a prescription for 45 of the oxycodone 15 mg,thats it! When I went to my pharmacist[mom and pops,the best imo] I told him what happened,he was in an uproar! He said,"he can't take you off your meds cold turkey,so my pharmacist called the doc. office and told them what he thought,they gave me a different doc[same practice] so when I went to see here[I'm thinking everything is ok by now] she said basicly the same thing,but gave me a script for diazapam 5 mg 30 count,to take 2 a day for 5 days,then one a day,then discontinue,same with the oxycodone,and cut me down to 10 mg oxycontin with no breakthrough.Heres the kicker! My pharmacist said the newer doc. called 3 different times,to see if I ever got early refills,or meds. from different doc. etc.My pharmacist stuck up for me,and told her,we never had a problem with him! My pharm. told me that the doc. was looking for a reason not to prescribe me pain meds.I stuck with this doc. for half a yr.! I've since have got a new doc. who treats my pain accordingly.
