Talwin (pentazocine) is a synthetic opiate that is used to treat moderate to severe pain. Formerly a popular drug of abuse, it has largely been eclipsed by oxycodone.

Is talwin as potent and or addicting as morphine?

Talwin (pentazocine) is less potent than morphine and has a lower risk of addiction. While both are opioids, morphine is a stronger analgesic and has a higher potential for abuse and dependence. Talwin has a mixed agonist-antagonist action, which can limit its addictive potential compared to morphine. However, it can still lead to dependency if misused.

Why is there a shortage of Talwin Pentazocinefrom the drug companies?

I have had a problem finding Talwin, also. I know that there was a recall a few months ago by one of it's major manufacturers which caused an initial shortage. I had to find another pharmacy(after going to several that were out) to fill my prescription. However, as to exactly what is going on now, I have received conflicting reports. My pain doctor told me that all of the drug companies are halting production because it is an older drug that is not as profitable as it once was. A pharmacist friend of mine told me that production was being halted because a key ingredient in it's manufacture was becoming increasingly hard to find. However, my new pharmacist still has Talwin on the shelf and said he has no knowledge of any of this. I just hope they don't stop production. I have tried many different pain relievers over the years and found Talwin to be very relieving and less addictive and sedating than some of the others such as hydrocodone. *****UPDATE******I found out directly from the FDA that Watson will continue to make Talwin NX.


What is the street value for 50 mg talwin?

In my experience with drug abuse, when it doubt start with 1 and work your way up. I am not sure if 50 mg's of this substance is considered a high or low dose, so dose accordingly. Do some research on the internet and be safe. No point in dying just trying to get high. DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE TAKING DRUGS YOU DO NOT HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH. I cannot stress this enough. Good luck.


Can you give stadol to methadone patients?

Uh, NO! Stadol is in a class of partial-agonist, partial antagonist opioid medications that also include Talwin, Nubain and Buprex (the main component in Suboxone) These are contra-indicated with any full agonist opioid medications, taking them concomitantly will be unpleasant, especially in cases of dependence.
