Addiction

  I just had 2 surgeries back to back(broken hand then rotater cuff) and have been on Norco for 18 months, average 6-8 pills per day and need a taper schedule that will still allow me to function.
Thanks
Jesse

Your doctor only knows the taper schedule ask him.  I'm not a doctor.  So I can't help you out on that one.  The point is to gradually get off the norco at a slow pace.  To avoid withdrawl symptoms.  It's a much smoother ride tapering off rather than going cold turkey

Hi & Welcome,

We cannot provide you with a taper schedule here, it is a violation of our guidelines. Your best bet is to go to the prescribing doctor and get honest. Ask for a proper taper schedule and do it under his/her supervision.

Good luck and let us know how you make out.
