Then when you get used to the reduced
dose, try going longer in between each
dose until you are down to only one
dose per day. Since the medication you are taking is controlled release, I can't recommend that you break it in half, but with a regular opiate, that would be the next step. Have you spoken to your doctor about a taper plan? Good luck - keep posting, there are many here who have been in your shoes who can offer some good advice.
