I have been taking 6 Darvocet N-100's for about 6 weeks after an ankle fracture and surgery. I have realized that I no longer need them for acute pain, but am experiencing physical and a little psychic withdrawal when I try to abstain. I am going to see my psychiatrist today and ask him to help me taper. I have not had any significant work problems yet, but I can see how trying to stop cold turkey could cause real problems. Can anyone suggest a taper schedule that would get me off the medicine without huge physical withdrawal? I don't think I need inpatient treatment, and have a family that is aware and fully supportive. Thanks for any help you can give.
