@meryw Frightened of just making the appointment, talking to the Dr, my anxiety is also social anxiety. My pcp just keeps trying different meds on me 3 different medications, told me if i go back on that stuff benzo's I would have to find a new dr. He won't even prescribe my Lyrica I take for my fibromyalgia.

@tresemae find a new doctor. Any doctor that tries to bully you (and bullying is what this doctor is doing) into taking any medication by cutting off another you rely on, is not looking after your best interest - sounds more like he has a vested interest in prescribing certain drugs.
Having said that, thankfully my primary doctor does not push any medication I am reluctant to take and works with me to find a solution because in Canada it is not easy to find a new family doctor, much less a specialist so if my current doctor had been difficult I would not have had much luck finding someone else. If you are living in the States or elsewhere you probably have a better chance of switching to a new doctor.
