i believe if you are fortunate enough to have a doctor then you should follow their advice.  many addicts have gotten to the point where going to a dr. is out of the question because they have no means left to do so.  you are lucky to have a dr....use him/her...just be honest with them and they will help

You never need to stop cold turkey, with any opiate you need to tapper the usage.  week by week, this is the proper way to do this so that you dont make your body go thru shock.
