Hey guys,
Someone posted something about methadone being compared to darvocet. Is this true? I'm just curious because darvocet is one of the pills I was prescribed long ago for mild pain. Isn't methadone a much more potent drug than darvocet? I know that both are addicting, but to me darvocet was nothing compared to percocet? Just wondering.
Thanks,
Marie
marie,
you gotta know by now and if you dont consider your self told... I love you so i must ask "why do you want to know... ?" and more importantly "why are you letting pills rent space in your head....?" you really should have them anyway so what difference does it make....?
If you really want an answer to your question.... methodone is much stronger than darvocet.... Darvocet can be compared to tylenol....in pain relief.... it elevates mood therefore it is controlled...
Methodone is used on addicts because of its long half life and it gives a much lower high and this can more easily be controlled with dose control.... the long half life allows for better w/d symptoms controll.
probably more than you wanted to know and much more than any recoverying addict needs to be thinking about including me...lol...
God bless....have a blessed weekend....
btw...dont be offended by my words ...they are because I have been there and I care....

Hey Teresa,
By no means am I offended by your words at all. I know you are trying to be helpful in my recovery. It was a dumb question I guess.... the only reason I asked (I went back and checked where I read it) on the topic Methadone Question by Metrobabe, Sharon said that methadone is a pain relieving opiod that resembles meds such as Darvon and Darvocet. I really was just curious, since I was prescribed Darvocet before, it startled me because I didnt think that darvocet could be compared to methadone. Learn somethin new every day!
Anyhow - youre right, I shouldnt be thinking about pills, but I cant say that I havent "thought" of taking one. Thank God I dont have any and dont plan to. I know the man next door to me has some - that was one of my biggest hurdles to jump over - not going over there and asking for some- his son sells them for him (nice,huh?).
Well thanks for the boost girl. I guess that it is normal to have these thoughts and demons in my head. But I am determined to not let them get the best of me!!!!
Love,
Marie
