A member asked:
Is it safe 2 stop lortab cold turkey after taking for 3years straight?its become a issue.i tapered off ativan (lorazepam) an am off of it but that was a nightmare

Not recommended: Cold turkey off hydrocodone can be severe, unsafe and is unnecessary. People who have used hydrocodone for more than 6 months and you can expect to feel severe cold turkey opioid withdrawal. The best and safest way to wean off lortab is under medical supervision in the case that tweaking and adjustments are required.
