I want to know ways people of done a taper off of this amount? I have a dr. that is helping as well. I have gone off other prescribed meds pain meds, benzos lots, I did that cold turkey, I was tired of being a owned by the meds, still had pain to deal with. I don't recommend any one Cold Turkey especially several meds at once & these strong meds, several years ago, was not a good idea at ALL. the second time the drs put me back on meds I wanted off again, this time I tapered but too quickly and off all at same time. big no no. This time I had several surgery's over a period of 21/2 years, so back on meds, this time I have a dr helping me, I already was able to taper off the morphine , but it was down to 1/4 of twice a day of 15mg morphine sulphate ir instant release. I did drop one of the 4 norcos I was on, so I was just fearful of stopping the morphine, my anger of being owned by meds & what it was doing to me on all levels of life, I had no life except my husband, church & family, I isolated. the depression was becoming so overwhelming overwhelming, I face my fear, & stopped 1 of the 1/4s with dr supervision, for about 8 days , God must have been helping me it wasn't bad at all, then I stopped the last 1/4 that has been almost a month. My dr had the withdrawal on on opiate wouldn't last probably at most 7 days probably 5, my pharmacist said the same, thing, so I did it. YEAH freedom from one narotic, Now I want to start on the norco, dumb fear is trying to get in the way, my dr doesn't think its going to be bad at all the way I taper, I just want to know if you think I could stop 1 of the 3 doses altogether in stead of 1/2 of one of the three to begin taper. thank you so much...
