What is the best way to come off hydrocodone lortab?

Under doctor's care: Depending on how long you have been taking the medication and the strength of the dose, you probably want to wean slowly. Stopping opiates too quickly can cause uncomfortable (yet likely non-life threatening) withdrawal symptoms.
