Greetings
I did the tapering. Took me 3 weeks. It will not work for everybody. I was taking about 12
Lortabs a day. I went from that number to 3 a day for a week then 2 a day for a week, then I broke then in 1/2 and took 1/2 in AM and 1/2 in the PM Them to just 1/2 in the AM for a week. It's hard. Really hard. Today is day 9 clean for me. You will still have w/d depending on how much you used and for how long.
Hope this helps you. Stay strong.

Hello and welcome to the forum.. I'm sorry to hear you are having migraines as headaches accompany wd also the back thing.. Oh yes.. If you could tell us how long you were using and how much we would be able to give better advice and support... If taking large doses of loratab you can have seizures so if it persist I would recommend seeing a Dr. Please stay with the forum.. as we are all in the same boat.. be kind to yourself and remember see a Dr. if it persist... lesa
