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?

It doesnt have to be a opiate to be addictive.

well...i do know some get addicted to it..very few as the tylenol content invoved in taking a bunch is astronomical...lortab is also synthetic....still a narcotic....many narcs are synthetic/in fact most are..codeine is not nor morphine..but most are synthetic

I know, its just my personality.

I'm working on it.

the fact of the matter is that "propoxyphene" is NOT an opioid. It does not come from the poppy, it is an synthetic drug that is scheduled and is a narcotic . it is  a analgesic in the opioid category .

TrayCee.........Sometimes your posts seem very sarcastic.....and this is from the internet.

Darvocet is an analgesic opiate that is commonly used to treat mild to moderate pain. Though it is considered to be no more effective than aspirin in the treatment of pain, users can become drug dependent with prolonged use. In the U.S., Darvocet is available in doses from 30 mg to 650 mg. The drug can be used to ease physical withdrawal symptoms in opiate addicts but is not as effective on mental cravings. Other drugs can interfere with the effectiveness of Darvocet, and some people are unable to metabolize it.

"in the opioid category" only makes it a pain killer.

As far as the molecular chemical structure, no its not an opiate.


This is the I N T E R N E T, its very easy to verify this.
