I just tapered off Norco. Was doing 40-50 mg a day and I began my taper at half that dosage for five days and every five days decreased my dosage by half a tablet. After about 20 days I let my body tell me how much to decrease the dosage by how the withdrawal systems felt. I originally set up a taper to last 60 days but ended up jumping after 32 days when I was down to only half a tablet a day. This taper had minimal withdrawls. I was functioning normally every day, no diahrea, no vomiting, no sweats or chills, very minimal RLS. Does't hurt to give it a shot. Only you can decide what's best for you.
