Does hydrocodone help you come off percocet ?

No: Essentially you are just trading one narcotic dependence for another.

Yes it can help.: Well it will help you not to go through withdrawals. Should decrease dose by 25 % every 3 to 4 day to avoid withdrawals.

Not really: Hey bandita, i just answered another one of your questions, hope i can help. Hydrocodone can help you ween off percocet, but you are just trading one opioid for the other. Hydrocone is a weaker opioid, but just as addictive, so be cautious. Halving the opioids over a period to a low dose can help ween. I hope that helps. Best of luck and you can do it!
