I did a slow taper i was on 10 pills a day 5/325 of percocet i cut a pill out very 7 days and That was too slow so every 5 days i cut a pill out every day and so on and then when i was on 2 pills a day i just went for it. I flushed what I had left kinda like a ritual thing, and It was hard esp. mood swings but i just started excersing and tried to stay busy. I did a slow taper and really drug it out but for me it worked i am over 2 months clean and I feel great no craving really, Just miss that high feeling, But No w/d symptoms. at first my stomach hurt alot and I was in the bathroom and I had the shakes in the mroning along with nausea, But that really only lasted a few days and then i was just tired all the time, But I made it and excersing saved me. Long walks really did also. good Luck, It is so worth It You can do It. :) and I had a few slip ups and I just got right back with it. I also would like to add that when you are taking them Just make sure that you take them to help with the w/d symptoms and If you get that high feeling Lower your dose that helped me alot. again Good luck and i whope it goes good for you :)
I do not think that those of who c/t are the weak ones. I am the weak one becasue I gave up c/t atfer 2 days. And yes I will go slow and I will make it! I sooo love your challenges (inside joke). Your are the best of motivaters. I will be glad to get off these dam pills so I can remember how to spell again (I hope)! Maybe already too much brain damage.

OHHHHH so you don't want to hear from those that don't suggest going back after 2 days clean. You want to go as slooooow as you need to. (Inside joke folks) Not being mean. I would love to see you make it this way Stannab. It just wouldnt work for us weak ones that take every pill in the house.
I have been taking norco 10mg 5-10 pills daily for two years. I tapered off them once before but was easy. must not have been as addicted then. I am now taking 3&1/2 daily. was going to allow myself 4 but am doing good on this dose. I plan to go as slow as I need to. after I adjust to this dose i will cut down another 1/2. The first one in am is hardest. that is when i have the worst craving. last pill at 7:00pm so long time in between am and pm. What are your plans or do you have one for your taper? I am also trying to make the time between doses longer. Let me know what and how you are doing, please. Are oxy harder to get off that norco?/
