i was wondering if talwin is about the same as hydros? i just got a script of those and i am kinda scared of them. i just got brave enough to take half of a pill. but i wanna know if nebody here has taking them before and how does it work. are they good for pain or what. i have been taking hydros for along time here and i wonder if they are bout the same plz answer as soon as possible. and the nalox in them what is that for?

I have been off Lortab since Saturday. However, I had a few talwin and was taking these thinking it would ease the withdrawals. I saw your post and had a question. Are these making it worse or just prolonging the inevitable?

Please post and let me know your thoughts.

Talwin (Pentazocine) nx, the form with naloxone, would need to be taken at a minimum of 8 hrs. after they last taken a opioid such as hydrocodone, oxycodone, or heroin, longer acting opioids like methadone you would need to wait almost 48 hrs. to be able to take it otherwise like stated above the naloxone will kick off the opioids on your receptors and put you into precipitated WDs. And believe me those are not fun at all. As far as its strength as an analgesic it is pretty just a little weaker than hydrocodone and has side effects that act more like morphine, such as hallucinations or psychotomimetic effects on the body.
It says that .38 mgs of talwin is equivalent to 10 mgs of morphine, so as far as your question goes that right there tells you how strong it is. It is potent, but youll find that taking super high doses just causes more of the negative side effects-stated above, and less euphoria and positive pain fighting effects.
Its also only a schedule IV drug, which is where benzodiazepines and less addictive medications are, where as most other opiates/opioids are schedule II or III.

I know one thing about Talwin and that is that it is very dangerous to take if you are physically dependent on other opiates. It has a very strong affinity for opiate receptors and I  knew someone who took them while taking methadone and they were thrown into immediate and total withdrawal and ended up in the ER near death, or at least they felt that way.
