The only way I'm "allowed" to contact him is by leaving a recorded message on his assistant's line. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I know I can feel my neck starting to kick back into it's old familiar sensations--electric-shock pain, as the level of opioid in my blood is now way low. I titrated myself down by cutting the last 40 or so tabs in half, but...
I'd definitely leave the recorded message and make it clear that you're going to keep trying. And do keep trying. Leave a message twice a day for a couple of days if you can wait that long. If not, tell the front-desk people what is happening and ask them to give you a better way to contact him. He shouldn't have removed himself from contact with you with no advance notice, IMO.

Any chance of transferring to another doctor in the near future?
