Hello, Frog! How are you?

After 6 months, a slow taper would be best and your prescriber should be able to help you with it.

The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
