I don't want you trade one drug for another, but I have to tell you what I just discovered and it works awesome. It s not really another drug, but you can abuse it, so be careful. Do a bunch of research on line, especially youtube. Look up lopermid. Basically its just diarreah medicine, but the way it works, is a Godsend. I am on day 4, and have not had any withdrawal, in fact I feel great. I don't want to tell you anything on here, because some people may view it as me trying to get you on something else. I have been telling everyone about this stuff. Its non addictive and you can get like 200 pills for 5 bucks. Anyway, look it up if you want or message me if you want.
When I was taken off of Norco 10's my doc used ativan to get through the withdrawal's but keep in mind my use was post major surgery and included Delaudid, Norco, that patch that delivers opiates morphine etc over a period of several months (I was in/out of hospital iCU etc.)
Not a doctor and it all depends on how your body is and your other health conditions.
