Yeah thats quite a bit of Percocet...sorry I misunderstood. Well hopefully you can figure out a good tapering schedule that fits your needs. And like I wrote above...if you have someone to help and distribute your meds according to the schedule...it does help a lot.

I wish I were only taking 10mg Percocet, but I take about (12) 10mg each day.  Roughly like this:  2 1/2 at 7:30 a.m., 3 at 10:00 a.m. 2 1/2 at 2:00 p.m. and 2 1/2 or 3 at 5:00 or 6:00.  Sometimes I take another 1 1/2 around 7:30, but I never take anything between 7:30 p.m. and 7:30 a.m..

Like I said, the only symptom I get in the interval is jumpy legs which is annoying but it doesn't hurt.  Thanks for responding

I read your other post and then this one stating what you have been using. We cant give specific tapering advice on this site. We are encouraged to seek tapering advise from our doctors so hopefully you have one that is compassionate to your situation.

What I can say though is tapering works if you formulate a good plan and stick to it. Often times people get there loved ones involved to hand out the medications so the schedule is adhered. The last thing I will say is that if you are only taking 10mg of Percocet....you really dont have far to go. That is considered a very low dose.

I know I really didnt answer your question...sorry...hands are tied here. But good luck and if you need support...we can give lots of that here.
