How do i find what's the best way to get off painkillers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask your doctor: It depends on the pain mediction. Some people can taper or even go cold turkey. My advice is to discuss your unique situation with your doctor. Its not an uncommon situation for most doctors. Its best to do this under some supervision. You need to have somebody to call if things don't go so smoothly.
