What Should I Do For The Doctor Who Was Administering High Doses Of Narcotics To Do Daily Functions Has Suddenly Stopped His Practise?
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.

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 Dr Shareef 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 a advice which might vary depending on the medical rules in your region on the use of narcotics.
Thank you for using healthcaremagic forum for your health query. Take care.
