Hello, I had 2 major surgeries within the last 6 months and have been taking Loratab 5s for the last 5 months. I average about 5 a day of those. I am ready to stop taking them, but plan to taper not stop CT. I am a teacher and cannot take off to do this. Any words of advise? Will I still experience withdrawal if I taper? Do you have any idea how long it will last if so??View Thread
