My girlfriend has been on Methadone for 9 months, she is addicted to OxyContin. She stopped her treatments 12 days ago, from 65 mg cold turkey. Her doctor demanded a urine test and she refused for the second time. She has little or no withdraw. From what I have been reading, and what my pharmacist has told me, she should be pretty sick about now. She has lost her 2 year old baby girl. once because of this, and my fear is, she is back on something again. She has recently become selfish, wasteful, deceitful, no regard for anyone but herself. (although she is a very selfish person normally, she has become far worse then normal.) My question is...Is it possible to come off that dosage cold turkey and have no withdraw symptoms, unless you are self medicating? Any and all advise will be greatly appreciated. I am so upset with her right now for being so selfish, but I can't point fingers if I have no idea about this drug. I just want to protect her little baby. It is getting to the point recently where she is not even buying food/milk for the child. I think I already know the answer ...
