Hydrocodone Tapering?

It's refreshing to see that there are others that are going through this crap. I've been taking about 4 Norco 10/325's per day, and I would like to figure out an effective tapering plan. All I know is that I can't successfully go CT-it throws everything out of whack. I saw a doctor in regard to all of this, and she game me a prescription for Wellbutrin (for the depression) and Xanax (for the anxiety). I'm beginning to think that this is not the right way to go. Thoughts?

I'm curently in my first day of quitting the same thing. I was taking 8-10 a day plus 80 mg of oxycontin. I tried tapering at first, but I was getting withdrawals. So I found this site and pretty much everyone agreed its best to just quit cold turkey & speed up the madness. Maybe for you though, tapering might wwork if you're only taking 4 a day right now. I would try to quit soon bc 4 a day will quickly turn into 6 then 8 and so on.

HI, I agree with angel_lina.  I have been tapering off Opana ER for three months now......I am now on less  than 1/4 of my top dose......I have used clonidine and a few other recommended drugs to help......and as Angel mentioned, she has come up with some natural remedies.  We are both happy to help you.  You can private message either or  both of us to help you with your recovery.  Big hug....Marie
