Yah, a rapid taper/detox, using 3x8mg subs, in my experience, I'd say that should help ease the inevitable w/d's a little bit, not a lot, but a little.

Logic would seem to indicate that you'll wanna go as easy as possible, and try to make these three pills last at least a week. If it were me, I'd probably be thinking I'd do like 4mg/day for the first 4 days, then 2mg, then 1mg, then 1mg on days 5,6,7.

I always found it was best to wait at least 16 hours after my last pain pill to start them, and be prepared to not actually feel all that well from it until at least 24 hours have passed since the last pain pill. And in my experience, it's best to not keep taking more, early on, trying to feel better, cause it's not likely to work.

Obviously, however, I'm not a doctor, and I really think it'd be much smarter for you to get your doctor involved in this process. That's a pretty short taper, especially given that you're in legit pain as well. A longer schedule, under proper supervision, would be a wiser choice, IMHO. Being a slave to subs is not nearly as depressing as being a slave to norco, that much I can tell you from experience...
