quitting darvocets

[zombiebub]

hello everyone...I have been addicted to darvocet n-100s for about 8 years now and I have gotten down to 3 or 4 a day. I am sick of being attatched to these pills and I'm worried about what I may have done to my body, mind, etc. Anyway, I want to quit cold turkey but when I called some rehab place they said quitting cold could be dangerous. I need to do this myself and I know that weaning off wont work. Any suggestions? Will I be Ok cold turkey or is this really that dangerous...? The 3 pill habit has been for about 2 years now.

Hey There- i did quit taking 10-12 darv/day for over two years. The first week was a little tuff but after that your body will adjust. My wife helped alot. The people here said that they are a "weaker" pain med but to me they seemed pretty strong. I guess when you take 12 @ a time they will be. You CAN do this cuz if i can you certanly can.
I had RLS, trouble sleeping and anxiety.   Keep on posting   Stay Strong
