Hi,

Thanks for your query.

A urine test showing positive for the drugs may not be a strong reason to stop your pain medication which you were on for long time. Also stopping such medications suddenly would be more XXXXXXX If needed, they have to be stopped in a dose tapering manner to avoid withdrawal complications.

According to your history, I do not see any strong reason for stopping your medications. I suggest you to discuss with your doctor, the reason for stopping the medications and the mode of stopping he has planned.

Please let me know the reasons your doctor mentions on your discussion, I shall then analyze and provide my opinion on it.

Wish you good health.
