Methadone Detox... Darvocet OK?

Headra Registered on Jul-11-2004 More User Info Message #1740 posted by Headra (Info) July 11, 2004 08:01:37 ET I used Oxys for about 1.5 years, then quit the insanity and went to a methadone clinic. I read the earlier posts about methadone detoxing and fully agree that it's a wiser choice than street drugs (if you get it from a clinic). My last dose was 25 mg on 6/28, after being tapered from 60mg (over months). Then I went in for 7 days, where they detoxed me using Clonapine (sp,?)patch, Darvon, and Librium. The nurses told me that for every year of use, expect a month of recovery. So that's what I know. Now, here's my question: Of course, I'm going through killer WDs. Sweats, chills, shakes, bone pains, TERRIBLE anxiety... does anyone know if it's OK to take Darvocet? I looked up the chemical make-up and it's an analgesic... no "codone" in it's make-up. I took a 100/650 yesterday, and while it didn't take the pain away, it made life livable (at least I could watch TV). Please let me know, I don't want to prolong WD or be cursed with the dreaded relapse!

I thought I would let u know that that is what they did for me and I became hooked on that stuff too (Darvocet). So just be really careful taking it because it can be addictive after the really good stuff gets out of your system. Good Luck and God Bless Heather

Darvocet OK? posted by tiaradawn28 (Info) July 29, 2004 18:05:54 ET Thank you so much for your prayers... they must have helped. I'm taking no Darvon/Darvocet at this point. I do take 1/4 of a suboxone pill every other day, at the most. It feels so good to actually forget about my addiction and the pain I've been living with because of it! The 28th of August will be 60 days, no methadone for me and that makes me so happy! I still have a way to go (nothing for bad days, like suboxone) but I've been attending many NA meetings and they sure are great! Thanks again for the hope!
