I'm on day 3 almost 4 on lopermaide to get off norco 40mgs a day. I have tappered from 8 pills a day to 7 today but, I am concerned. Lorpermaide has such a long half  life that the stuff I took on day 1 is probably still in my body right? it seems like the stuff would never wane down enough to leave ones body and the level would just keep building to unsafe levels.i'm pretty tired and out of it at the moment. is this really safe? ive never heard of a pain med with a 14 hr half life before. maybe i should just wait 3 days at least and ask my doc for another norco script and wean down from that? any advice would be great. i'm really worried.
