I am also in St Joseph, Mo & my dr. did the same thing to me... I was on Ambien for 10 yrs......she told me not to find a psyciatrist , that she would continue to prescribe the Ambien... Now she wont give me a referall !

Guess what.... The very next month, she decides i need trazadone because Ambien was addicting... I am also very angry.

As soon as i get this SCS implant done I am finding a new dr. These doctors are so egotistical .. They need to think about the patient.

Good luck ... If you need anyone to listen i am here.
