I would definitely call your pdoc, explain the situation, explain that you have no history of drug abuse (everything you noted in that other email) and say that if he wants to, just give you enough for a few weeks. I think that is more than reasonable. If that fails, you should start thinking about a new pdoc but that won't help you with your immediate concerns. I would consider going to a GP--I have found most GP's to be very open to prescribing meds when you explain the whole situation. They do not get all offended like PDocs do that you would dare question their grand authority.
Hope it works out,
JACK
