Doubtful: You don't describe your symptoms for possible withdrawal. However, it you have been on medication for a short while it makes it quite doubtful.

Call dentist: Typically you have not been taking these long enough to be in withdrawal , unless you are taking other substances. You should not be having much pain 2 weeks after an extraction. If you are, you should call the oral surgeon or dentist who did the extraction. The concern is infection or dry socket.

The narcotic: Ingredient in both of those medications is the same. You were/are taking the medications for pain, and for a short period of time. It is completely unlikely that you have developed any physical or mental addiction to this medicine with your scenario. Swap out to non-narcotic pain reliever (which at this point you should not even need 2 weeks post extraction). Still in pain see doctor to eval.
