easier withdrawal?

WPB
I've been taking lortab/ percocet for 2 years now. 80-100 mgs per day. I know I'm in a downward spiral and I'm trying to correct it. I weaned off these harder ones 2 weeks ago and have replaced them with Darvocet. My md seemed very relieved by this. However, have I actually improved my situation? Is Darvocet easier do w/d from?

There are alot of us here that cannot share with our significant other, and this is why this place is sooo awesome...I really think you have to have gone through this to understand it exactly.., that is why i picked a counsouler who specializes in addiction...She is also in recovery and understands me...We had to get to some really core issues, that i thought i had forgotten, and really buried...It was tough, but very good for me....
You are giving your kids and your self the best christmas present ever, TO be CLEAN...YOU are doing great!!  Stay Strong, and If you can wean more then great...
good luck to you!!

3 days doesn't sound as bad as Vics. I got all the Thomas recipe ingrediants and cancelled all plans/ responsibilities.

YEARS ago before I knew anything about withdrawal I was recreationally using 200 Darvocet a month.  I decided not to buy them one month and got really sick.  It was EXACTLY like the flu. (At the time I had no reason not to think it was not the flu.) Last about 3 days.
Your doing great and this will all be over soon.  Youre SOOO close!  Stay strong!
