i have been taking norco 10/325 for about 6 months for help treating the ain of a damaged nerve in my jaw. now i have gotten to the point where i am just tired of it. i don't want to be taking it anymore. i have tried quitting cold turkey but the withdrawals are too much for me. i talked to my pharmacist today and they said cold turkey just doesn't work for some people and they i need to taper it down instead. my boyfriend is willing to regulate the medication for me and help in any way possible. i take about 8-10 per day. i have around 200 left to taper with. my boyfriend and i were thinking of cutting 2 pills a day every week. (8 a day this week, 6 a day next week...so on so forth) but i needed some advice on whether that is a good idea or not. HELP! i hate this and just want to get off of these devils!
