Prescription drug addiction?
Question by *~mama mari~*: Prescription drug addiction?
A friend of mine who has an addiction to Vicodin and Percoset is finally quitting YAY!! He spoke with his doctor today and was told they are prescribing a patch and a “taper”. What do they mean by “taper”? Does this mean they’re going to slowly wean him off the drugs, or start having having him take less and less each day? Or is it an actual pill or somthing of that sort that helps to wean him off the pills? Can someone please answer? I can’t find anything online.
People without real answers that don’t know what they are talking about need not answer. This is a real question that desrves real answers.

That means they are going to lower his dosage until he is weaned off of the medicine.
Good Luck and Congratulations!!!

Percocet is one of the most dangerous prescription drugs out there. I mean any derivitive from morphene would have to be, wouldn’t it? Vicodin, not so much, though it is still pretty terrible. As for your friend, I’m very happy for him, and please tell him i wish him GOOD LUCK.

There are a number of drugs used to get people off crack, normally by building an addiction to the second drug as an alternative to crack, and then breaking the addiction to the second drug.
Tests are currently underway to see whether Salvia Divinorum or Tripping Weed could be used to wean people off crack.
