Hi everyone.. I have been reading on this website for a couple of days.. my question is how do I come up with a good tapering schedule... I am a wife, mother of 3 very active kids and about to start school... and I want this monkey off my back.. I take 6-8 norco a day for the last yr and I am just want to be done with this chapter in my life.. I have tried CT before and man wow... so back to my point.. I have 120 10/325 tabs and want/have to get off.. any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.. also what do you need to get through the WD's.  Thanks in advance.. I am determined to be done with this..

Oh. If you're out of the house all day, remember to bring only what your taper allows. I've found that having a handful in my pocket is not a good thing.

Just carry what you need ...

im one day clean as of today.  took my last half of a 7.5 sunday and didn't even really notice anything.  I only took it out of habit.  Sleep is still not coming very well, only in 2 hour increments, but that's much better than the 15 minutes before.  the anxiousness is gone, but the legs still hurt a little.  im a week out though, 80-100mg a day down to 3mg Sunday and I'm really proud of doing this.

That's great! Keep it up!
Just remember that every dose you take, you're beating it! You're doing it!
If it ever gets rough, know that you did it the time before and you can do it again this time. When you taper down, what's an extra hour between doses?

NOTHING!

You can and will do it!
I did!

I'm prayin' for ya, SQhopefull...
