norco

My husband is trying to kick norco and speed.  Is there any suggestions to help with the w/d's.  He cant afford to take time from work since it is a new job. He is desperate but feels like theres no way out.  He is also afraid of the pain and discomfort of kicking.  
Currently I'm dispursing his norco to him. 6 a day, but I dont know when would be a good time to taper down.

Hello and welcome to the forum.. Speed has no physical wd except a need for sleep and food as far as the norco I would taper him since he has to work.. Every three days remove a half one half is about equal to a 5/500 vic.. When he is taking 3 a day still break in half or jump I prefer to taper to 1/2 before bed to ensure some sleep through the process Then remove that and get rid of rest of the pills.. He will still go through withdraw but if you stop him on Thrus. night he could work Fri and then go back to work by Mon on day 4 he will be tired and a bit foggy though by day 7 he should feel well.. After care is very important to help him stay off.. I wish you both well.. lesa
