They may stop: At this time, there is an environment of pressure against doctors writing for controlled substances especially opiate drugs for pain. Hard to know exactly what's at the center of this push by the DEA but suffice it to say that many doctors nationwide as a result are giving up the practice of prescribing controlled substances. Talk to the doctor about transferring you to a pain medicine specialist.

Usually: If true no wrong doing has been done, a physician must organize a referral to a pain specialist who will take over prescribing responsibilities or offer a taper off of opiates, prior to completely stopping opioid prescribing. No one can force a physician to continue to prescribe opioids for any prolonged period.
