butalbital

Tomorrow I will begin a doctor planned taper off butalbital.  I did not get to speak with him personally so was unable to tell him I've been addicted for about two years. The taper is planned to be a seven week process. Does this sound reasonable?  Does the amount of time on the drug make a difference when planning the tapering process?

Seven week taper sounds reasonable, even with the length of your addiction. Stay in touch with your physician  to report your progress. Good luck to you.
