Well I am done to one 7.5 a day. My doctor prescribed me darvocet. I can't get in touch with my doctor at all. Would it be ok to cold turkey my vicodin and start taking darvocet.

Oh actually I have about 54 vicodin pills I have more than enough. But I really want to stop taking vicodin.

i am not sure how it will affect you however from my experience it was not a good substitute and its probably never wise to switch one for the other.
