@lacy2, It sounds as if you are better off without the awful doctor. How dare he chide you in front of others. He surely does not understand confidentiality. It is interesting about your vitamin D. My doctor took me off that as it is in my CardioTab vitamin. He wants me and my husband to be in the middle of the scale. I was surprised because my last blood draw showed 60 in the vitamin D and he wants it more in the middle of the scale, i.e., at 50. I do as he says. He has helped me in so many ways and is always so kind to me. I don't know what I would do without him. May you have better experiences and have a doctor who truly cares about you. With all good wishes, @joybringer1

I'm glad your doctor had enough sense to order the 25-hydroxy test to check your vitamin D. If I were you I’d ask for a bone density test also. In my unprofessional opinion, I doubt 2,000IU will bring your level up very quickly (depending on what it is) especially if you are on Gabapentin. You are on Gabapentin aren't you? If so, how much are you on. My memory is awful. Also, how much Klonopin are you taking. Although medication affects people differently I wouldn't cut your Klonopin in half. That's a large cut. I'd never do that. Chances are your doing okay now without any withdrawal effects depending on how high your dose was but I doubt you will manage another 50% cut. My Klonopin does was massive but I still didn't cut it that much.Did you ask why your B-12 was low? Hopefully your just not getting enough in your diet verses not being not able to absorb it. But regardless of the reason you need to get it back within normal levels. Years ago I had a B 12 deficiency and my doctor gave me weekly B 12 shots.
You much better off without that doctor. However, I wonder if he was legally justified in discharging you. I wonder if it could be considered discriminatory or abandonment.
Take care,
Jake
