F2F with physician coming up, any suggestions?

This issue of the cut off between benz and other medications ( in my case pain meds). Is happening everywhere. In cases where people have been on benz for long periods of time such as myself it's life altering. I've went without them before and it was torture to the mind. Between my psychologist and my doctor almost 8 years ago they decided that it was safe and benafital to my health to take one benz before bed every night. Seeing that I don't take pain medication in the middle of the night it could never be conflicting and the chances for respiratory depression was slim to none. But I am back again with a new doctor for the past year who has been quietly trying to remove me from them. I again refered him to read into my charts that predate my time with him but he has yet to do so. Probably since he sees a new patient every 15 minutes or so. I have remained polite and will continue to do so when I respectfully ask him to refer me to a doctor that can manage me properly. As a patient I have the right to request that and he must comply. They won't tell you that you have the right and even will lie to you and say they can't. Don't listen and stand firm. I'll keep everyone updated on what happens at my next appointment. Sorry for the spacey reply I had some bad luck this week and I am still trying to trade it in for good luck. Not an easy task but I'll manage.
