Opiate wean off: Congratulations on your decision. It depends on how many tablets you are taking per day. It is usually a good idea to taper off slowly to avoid any withdrawals. Going down about 25% every week in the beginning and when you are down to about 2-3 tabs per day, you can stop.. You may feel that your pain is increasing, but that feeling is temporary if you haven't hurt yourself to cause more pain.
