Has PCP changed meds due to age?

This new doctor does not sound easy to work with. And also has now refused to accept you as a patient. Consider getting another doctor who will review the meds and discuss with you? I suggest a gerontologist if appropriate. A rheumatologist might also be helpful in terms of prescribing for pain but again, screen for someone who is respectful and collaborative. I believe there are some fibro specific drugs now. I wish you the best--it is difficult to come off all drugs at once and it is possible they aren't that counter indicated. My old PCP retired and I was fortunate in that the new doctor is very nice and continues to prescribe for pain, but I was worried. So, do investigate specialists as well as a new PCP and nurse practioners.
