Weaning off the Norco

My doctor lowered the dosage of the Norco (Vicodin) to 5 mg and 325 of Tylenol. This has made a huge difference in my overall well being. I am no longer dozing off during the day and the constipation has lessened. However, I do have to take 2 Citrocel's a day for assurance and ease.

I had a really hard time sleeping last night because of a horrible knot in my back and shoulder and after taking a Norco, the pain didn't even subside. It's 10:00 a.m.and I haven't taken another Norco for 7 hours. I don't feel I need it but I am going to the doctor today for them to remove my splint and put on a cast so I'm being proactive since I will have my foot in weird positions on my way in the car.

I can't wait to get off these pills!

On the mend.
