Darvocet helps withdrawals? - Page 2

Loopman -

I have been off for 24 hours now, and so far, nothing I can't handle. Last night I got real jittery, my legs felt like they needed to stretch a mile. so I took a muscle relaxer (Skelaxin) from a back injury, and a klonopin. Then I just kind of fell out. I watch a move, and went straight to bed.

So, so far, so good. None of those middle of the night TERRORS that we are all so familiar with. I am sleeping (last night without the help of Ambien, I was scared with all that other stuff in my bloodstream). So, I am hoping!

I've read on some detox sites that they give darvocet to help with withdrawals to some patients, since it is weaker and binds to differnt receptors. And, and as you know, Darvocet doesn't give you the "high" that the tabs do, so I am, at least, used to being rather lethargic.

Thank you so much for caring ! It means a lot to me. I am in this alone. No-one knows. Right now, you are my anchor.

Please if ANY OF YOU have a similar issue that darvocet has helped, please chime in, I BEG you.

I believe Darvocets can help big-time.They surely did for methadone withdrawal.Key will be how many are needed and then tapering off that.I know you can do this.Be good to yourself.

To all who responded:

I was taking 15 7.5 hodros a day and just finished a taper with 6 darvocets a day. What are my chances for an easier withdrawal?

You guys are great!

Thanks.

As far as I know, darvocet is still an opiate. I've taken it and I was high as a kite. But then methadone makes me high too so I'm probably just odd. I imagine that yes, it will make the wds easier, but don't let it become a habit!

Walkersma- I am so glad for you. Hang in there. The legs will get better in 3-4 days. I really think it helps to exercise, walking, biking, running. If you bones ache your blood pressure is probably high, so if you have some blood pressure medicine it works great for that. I am going to be gone for 3 days, I will pray for you. STAY STRONG!
