What is the best taper plan for fioricet. used for 2 and 1/2 years. spiked up to 9 a day when my daughter passed nov.14. now down to 7?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reduce the dose by one pill a day each week. Go to 6 a day for a week , then 5 a day for a week, and so on and so forth. Good thing that you are getting off slowly. Fioricet is not a good medication to take daily and your dose is very, very extreme.
