Norco taper day 3 update and question

[SFgirll853]

Hi everyone!  Day 3 taper update and question......  Thank you for all of the amazing input!  I DID break the 10mg pills in half and followed the (1 whole, .5 .5 .5 .5) plan yesterday.  This was a dramatic decrease from the 80 to 100mg a day I was taking!  I felt a little sick at times but it was bearable.  The hardest part is definitely the mornings. I feel like **** in the mornings.  So today my plan is to take 1 whole (already done) and 4 halfs throughout the day...  basically the same as yesterday.  I think the original taper was a little too aggressive so 2 days of each "plan" then drop 5g for two days, then drop another 5mg for two days.  Here is the problem... my neck disc and arm nerve pain is definitely increasing already.  Do I just deal with it????

I dropped from 80mg to 30mg in one day (not fun) and am tapering from there.  I still feel pretty sick by the end of the day no question. Taking a 10mg in the AM and then 5mg throughout the day seems to be the "easiest" path.  When I start getting really clammy at night take some motrin and valium and go to bed!  The problem is that I am waking up with neck and nerve pain and spasms in the middle of the night.  Stomach cramps too.

The trouble with opiates is our bodies actual make up pain to get the drugs. The pain usually subsides after a few weeks. I am not saying it goes away. It is just that then you can better ***** the true level of pain. If I am reading things right. You dropped from 80mg to 4x - 0.5? Have you been tapering before this or am I reading this right?
