Decided to slow the taper off the percocet. Upped the dose today to 3.5 pills. I was on 6 before. Will taper off more slowly.
Also need to get myself on a good ad. Maybe try the parnate + nortriptyline combo.Sounds like some have had good luck on this combo.
Would try nardil if it wasn't for tons of weight gain which I don't need with a new hip.Thanks
