Norco - Reducing Dosage

I want to reduce my use of 5325 Norco. I have a new hip replacement and not in that much pain. What do you suggest?

Usually for drugs like this the safest way to stop taking them is to tapper off them, if possible. Some medications can be taken in fractions (actually cut into pieces) and these smaller pieces can be taken in place of the regular dose for a period of several weeks until the body is no longer dependent upon them.

If you haven't been taking them for too long, this process should be much easier than the vast majority of withdrawals people go through from taking them for years on end. I wish you a quick recovery!
