I've spoken to his drug worker who has heard similar stories quite independently and at a similar loss as to what to do!  
It makes me not want to do methadone, which is a shame. It makes me so angry! I may have to rip a tissue! |
Do you mean he leaves a bit in the bottom and doesn't drink it, leaving you to throw it away?
I ask because I've had plenty of them who seem to want to get off it, but the rate at which their GP drops them is so slow it will take them years, so they reduce it themselves by refusing to drink it all.
I have been asked by quite a few if the GP wants them to stay on it, and think it's only because it makes him more cash.
