NO!! Don't ever stop any pain medication cold turkey, especially if you've been taking it for awhile (1 month+). What happens is your body starts to build a tolerance to the drug and gets used to the drug being in your system (in simple terms), so if you stop suddenly, your body will look for the next dose and you will most likely experience withdrawal symptoms similar to heroin withdrawal! It's bad, trust me I've done it! Have your doctor taper your dose down over time to safely stop using any opiate.
