that would be me, and i soooo appreciate all that great info.....i am trying to taper off of 10/325 norco that i have been taking for 2 yrs or more......feel like i'm about to jump out of my skin......had been taking 6 a day, am now at 2 1/2 after 2 days, but am feeling like that is too much too soon, don't know how to do it, so any help in that regard would be appreciated too.....

What helped me when I got down to less than 4 per day to split them into halves and take those closer together... See if that helps tomorrow and let me know.

hi- i've been so whacked out from this, that i didn't notice you are in FL so am i, and i am halving the pills, and taking them every 5.5 hrs now.....my plan was to go down to 4.5 pills tomorrow, then 3.5 pills the next day, etc, but now i don't know, as this is really difficult....i did have some whey protein powder in the house i had just gotten because i recently stopped eating meat, so when you mentioned the amino acids, i started in on that, and i does seem to help.....a scoop seems to make some indentation for about an hour or so......as does the bach rescue rememdy....but that only last s minutes....right now that's all i'm looking for....i will be going to the health food store tomorrow for the things you recommend.....i know i will not sleep tonight, altho last night i took nyquil and got a few hours.....thanks again, so very much.....

no wonder you feel bad....you must give yourself a few days between cutting thoses halves out for your body to adjust... Doing it as fast as you are may as well be cold turkey...i would wait 4 days til you cut again... 4-6 days is usually the right amount of time to go between tapers...
i really hope you can slow down a little..
if you need anything let me know

oh thank you, i had no idea....i thought it was probably too much too soon, so if i don't do it so fast, i won't feel as bad??like stay where i am for 4-5 days, and then go down by a half pill...does the body really readjust to the lower dose??? so you don't feel so crappy as you go down??? how long did it take you? if you don't mind me asking?? and how did you feel on the way? thanks, laura

yes dear you will make it much easier on yourself if you take small breaks between cuts... i took 4-7 days between dropping a half a pill at a time. i started at 8 pills a day and cut myself to 6 per day right away.. felt a bit bad..then I went half a pill off every week or so sometimes shorter if I was adjusting well.. you body will adjust to the lower doses not completely but it will make it much easier....
