I have been seeing a Physical Medicine Rehab Dr for 13 years. He has been treating me with high doses of narcotics that I need to do daily functions. I received a general letter that he was changing his practice to brain injury patients only. I don t know what to do. I cannot stop these medicines without withdrawal. His office won t give me an appointment to even talk to him. What do I do
Hi ! Good morning and a Happy New Year 2014. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. I am not aware why you were prescribed high doses of narcotics. But in the present circumstances, I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist or consult your family physician for an advice which might vary depending on the medical rules in your region on the use of narcotics. Thank you for using Chat Doctor forum for your health query. Take care.
