Hi,
I had a hip replacement on January 22nd. I have been taking Loratab 10mgs now for 5+ weeks. It's time to stop them and I seem to be having a hard time doing so. I'm down to 5mgs but I get dizzy, irritable, squirelly (is that a word?). I don't really know HOW to wean myself off -- I was down to 1-10 mgs every 8 hours, but then after a follow up with my surgeon this last Wednesday, he told me to cut back, so immediately I cut back to 5 mgs every 4 - 6 hours. That's just not doing it. I really should have asked him and found out wheter or not he's going to give me another refill but it's now Saturday and I can't call him today about i. I will on Monday but in the mean while, do you all think I should just go back to 10mgs say every 8 hours and start over again and work up to one every 12 hours, then cut back to 5mgs? I'm probably not making much sense. LOL I'm not really in pain anymore, I'm just freaking out here. Thanks.
