I've had a couple pdocs drop me.

But anyway.

Please keep in mind that anyone who is responding to your post is doing so without knowing the nature of your relationship with your pdoc. We don't know if you have been with him for 6 months of 10 years. We don't know if he was like a therapist to you, or just a doctor. We don't know if you hated him, or loved him. So I will do my best to respond with what I think...

I'm just wondering what you would have wanted him to say because even the title of your post indicates that you "dropped" him. Also, you dropped him by email. Doctors and therapists don't normally see email as the most personal and detailed way to correspond. Normally, they would rather leave serious topics for the phone, or face-to-face contact.

I don't think you were just a "source of income" to your pdoc. You were a patient, in his care, to whom he supplied medication. Assuming that you do not go to your pdoc for therapy, when you no longer want medication, he is no longer under any obligation to treat you.

Maybe you would feel better if you told him that although you don't want to take medication right now, you would like for him to be available to be your doc again, should you want to be further assessed for any alternative meds.

Remember, docs and Ts are always looking for us to tell them what you need. It looks like you told your pdoc you don't need the meds anymore.
