First day of tapering off Norco. Help

I have been taking 10/325mg norco for about a year and before that lots of vicodin. I am currently taking 3 norcos and 1 about 20 minutes later at night when i get home from work. I am an ex football player and my knees and neck hurt all the time but im afraid Im destroying my body... I am starting tapering tonight by taking only 3 norcos tonight... I already feel kind jittery this sucks. Any advise?

I know nothing about norcos I'm afraid.
Have you seen a Dr for a profession opinion?

Welcome helpmestopnorco...unfortunately, I know nothing either of this. Best you can do is stick around here and keep busy. Glad to hear you're getting to the doctor tomorrow.

I can see how addictive those must be. I got my appendix out last year and was given 30 of those. I pretty much went through the whole bottle in a few days. I'm so glad I didn't have access to a steady stream of these pills. Good luck.

helpmestopnorco,

I am going through treatment with someone who is coming off opiates. From what I understand the restless legs thing is pretty common. If it gets so bad that it's driving you crazy, let your doctor know. He can prescribe something that will help.

Good luck!
