Brief Answer:
would be great if you could provide some more details.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Pain stopping pain medicine is not that easy for a person who is in pain.

In fact very limited date is given in the question so its a bit difficult to understand the situation .The management of the pain depends on the type and severity of the pain, the general rule is that we start with the safest drug and we go up until the pain is relieved .Once the pain is relieved we can always come down where we will be just ok with the pain, so when the pain is controlled , its well justified to stop the medicine, or if your pain medicine might have caused you any harm , we also stop the medicine. Now in your case , as very limited information is given, it cannot be said but if you are pain free ,,that very right that you stop the medicine .However if the pain is there and she has are stopped then there can be some reasons to think about the decision.

If you could just let me know the following things, we would be in a better position to find the best thing for you .
What is causing your pain? (disease?)
What drug was being given to you? (that is stopped now )and since when and how much you had been using.
How is your pain now? (without the drug)
Looking forward to know more about your problem .
kind Regards
Dr Rahan
