Darvocet, loratab, methadone withdrawal comparison

     I have been taking opiates off and on for about 15 years. From my personal experience withdrawals from each of these drugs are as follows:             (from bad to acute/severe)

Herion-            4-7 days acute/severe withdrawal symptoms
Loratabs-         5-7 days very bad
Oxycontin-       4-7 days acute/severe
Suboxone-       2-4 weeks bad (very bad 1st week)
Methadone-      3-6 months bad (very bad 1st week)

     Not only have I experienced withdrawals from these drugs I have read all about there chemical compounds and what they do to you physically, mentally and emotionally long and short term. I am now taking Darvocet of which I have read about but have not personally experienced the withdrawals. The reason I have given all this info is because I need a serious answer for my seroius question. So, please write from your personal experience. I am taking 2 a day of the 100/650 darvocet- in comparison what kind of withdrawal symptoms can I expect and for how long?

                                                                                         Thank you

Being totally honest here, I was on 60 mg of Methadone over the last year and didn't have hardly any physical withdrawals at all. It was mild compared to Lortab, Darvocet and Oxycodone. The worst of all was Ultram believe it or not. The worst with all these drugs was the Depression I had. Just make sure 2 Darvocet doesn't lead to 4 then 8.......you get the picture? Good Luck To You..........Vance
