No, Oedipus does not stop when Jocasta asks him to in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta becomes uncomfortable with the investigation that her second husband King Oedipus heads into the unsolved murder of her second husband King Laius. She dislikes Oedipus being considered a prime suspect because of the charges of Teiresias the blind prophet. She likes things even less when the investigation turns into one of Oedipus' true parentage as a native Theban instead of the Corinthian royal that everyone including herself thinks he is.
