How To Wean Off Norco And Pain Killers?
I m 5 3 weigh 98lbs - On norco 10/325mg for about 10 years for neck and back pain. With the schedule II in effect my doctor switched me to tramadol 50mg to be taken 3x a day, but I only take 2 tabs the last 5 days and weaning myself taking 1 1/2 tabs for 2 days and the last 2 days will be 50mg. then stop. Is that safe the way I m tapering on my med?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
I congratulate you on your resolution to stop Narco.
The weaning schedule your doctor suggested is to help you wean off the drug easily. If you are able to do it faster, it is okay but be absolutely sure you don't take a single Narco pill.
Take care
