Need Percocet taper schedule ASAP

I had shoulder surgery recently and have become dependent on Percocet. I need a taper schedule to go by to get off this medication. Preferably slow as I have a puppy, 2 children, and my husband travels for work:( I can't  afford to be in bed for 6 days. I am currently taking 7.5  6 times a day.

Depending on how long and how much you have been taking it may not be bad.  What happens if you miss a pill or several??

Welcome. If you've read any of the posts on this form, then you've probably found that we can't give medical advice. However, if you do read the posts about tapering, you will get a few ideas. Can you talk to your doc? That may be the best first step. Keep posting.
