Work with your MD: If you want to stop the medication and are motivated rehab is not necessary. If you are used to taking 8/day it would be safe to decrease by 1 pill a day every week without significant symptoms. Best would be to discuss with your doctor and decide on a weaning schedule that works for you. Other non-narcotic pain medication can be helpful while you do this. Best of luck!
