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?

From a trusted source...

Dextropropoxyphene is an analgesic in the opioid category. It is used to treat mild to moderate pain and as an anti-tussive. It can be used to ease surgical pain both prophylactically and palliatively. It is possible to classify it as a mild opioid pain-killer, however it is considered no more effective than aspirin in treating pain.[2]

So yes, it's an opiod...not a strong one, but an opiod never the less.

as far as I kknow darvacet is an opiate..synthetic but still an extremely mild opiate..i will good gle to be sure...and yes it should be easier/much easier to wd from these...d-cet contains 500 mg plus of tylenol...how many r u taking each day?

Darvocet is NOT an opiate.
Each tablet of Darvocet-N®100 contains 100 mg (176.8 µmol) propoxyphene napsylate and 650 mg (4,300 µmol) acetaminophen.


And yes, the wd will be somewhat easier.

Good Luck.

Thank you for your help.

Yes, it will be. Although Darvocet is still an opiate, it is a very, very mild one. Kinda like Tylenol with attitude.
So you should have any easier time with the withdrawals, but withdrawals none the less.
Hang in there, sounds like you're ready to do this.
