Help! i've been taking lortab for migraines. 7.5/325 x 3 every day now for a solid year. i'm afraid but i need a "safe" taper process to get off it.

Yes, you should tape: In general, there are more effective treatments of migraines than opiates (like lortab). Furthermore, taken chronically they typically make migraines much worse. So, tapering seems like a wise move. However, given the duration and frequency with which you've been taking them, you should do so under the supervision of a physician.
