Jenna,

Robert and Blessed have given you some great advice. Darvocet (propoxyphene) actually is a derivative of Methadone in combination with acetomenophen. But it is a relatively weak opiate compared to hydrocodone. It's strange that you had no problem getting off hydrocodone and the propoxyphene has you in it's grib. No matter, I guess people react differently to meds. You are taking the right steps...so don't go backwards. In a couple of days you will feel so much better. To tell you the truth if you ever have to come off the benzos and SSRI or SSNR's it will make this opiate withdrawal look like child's play. I have an anxiety disorder and have been on benzos pretty much for 20 years. However, the last 10 yrs as I took unbelievable amounts of opiates my benzo intake got out of control. I was taking 40 to 50 mg of Xanax a day. When I went cold turkey over 9 months ago I almost died. The klonopin should really be helping, especially with the anxiety and sleep. You just need a few more days and you will feel much better...I guarantee it. But if you ever come off your antidepressants and benzo I would seek professional help because benzo withdrawals can kill you. But if you take it medicinally then there should not be a problem. But like you said you have started to abuse them. Just be careful. With God nothing is impossible. God Bless.
