Welcome to
SoberRecovery!!!
:na2
And congratulations on getting clean! Did the prescriber or the pharmacist not give you instructions on how to do this? Seems like they are the ones you should be asking this. They can also give you stuff like clonidine to help with any "breakthrough" withdrawal symptoms. I'd say work closely with a professional during this taper, so they can minimize your discomfort.
For your long-term recovery, I highly recommend involvement in a support group such as Narcotics Anonymous. It can make all the difference in the world! Best wishes and let us know how you're doing and how we can help, OK?
Love and hugs,
Eddie
