No. Vicodin is much stronger than Darvon. Both are narcotic pain relievers which require a prescription in order for you to obtain them legally. Darvon can be perscibed with another pain reliever like Tramadol in order to relieve pain. Their are similar effects from both because they are derivitives of an opiate-like substance which acts on centers in the brain that tell you how to perceive pain. If you are not use to taking Vicodin, Darvan would be a better option because it would not knock you out, rather, just puts you in a good mood and takes the edge off the pain. Vicodin knocks the pain out and definitley makes you a bit loopy. Some side effects of Vicodin can be nausea (if taken on an empty stomach), lightheadedness, tracers, etc. Vicodin is definitley for moderate to extreme pain and should not be taken if you have a history of drug addiction or drug seeking nature.

Which is stronger Darvocet or Vicodin?
vicodin... darvocet is like strong tylenol. vicodin contains hydrocodone as its active ingredient, making it a pain killer. darvocets active ingredient is naproxen which is a pain reliever.----Darvocet, while it may not be much more effective in pain relief as naproxen, is NOT the same thing. it is a synthetic opioid analgesic (propoxyphene) combined with acetaminophen (Tylenol). It is a very weak painkiller. Vicodin is a combination of the moderately strong opioid hydrocodone and acetaminophen. While Vicodin is much stronger and more effective at relieving pain than Darvocet, they are both narcotics.
Should you take Darvocet if you have had your colon removed?
Yes, Darvocet (propoxyphene) can be used as an analgesic after surgical procedures. However, most studies on analgesic potency indicate that codeine-containing products (as Tylenol #3) or hydrocodone products (Lortab, Vicodin) are more effective at pain control.
Which is stronger Darvocet vs vicodin?
Lortab is stronger Darvocet A500 only contains 100 mg of proxyphene which is prescribed for mild to moderate pain,while hydrocodone at any dose is stronger and prescribed for moderate to severe pain.As along time suffer of degenerative arthritis I am familiar and well read on any painkiller out there.i have chosen to take Darvocet because the withdrawals are no where near as bad as Lortab and darvocet A500 contains less Tylenol which is easier on your liver and allows you to supplement with otc painkillers.If you asked this question because your doctor had been prescribing Lortab and changed you to Darvocet take his advice and take the darvocet ,cause the likelihood you need anything stronger is slim and you are probably subconciously wanting to get high and you are treading on dangerous ground.
Is there anything that you should not take with Vicodin?
Yes, Pretty much everything. Alcohol is not recommended but it does accelerate, make the Vicodin more effective.
Which is better Vicodin or hydrocodone?
Hydrocodone is the generic for vicodin. Works just as good, and cheaper.
Which is stronger vicoden or percosets?
these are in two different drug classes, so one cannot really make an answer to that. vicodin is an opiate painkiller, while carisoprodol is a skeletal muscle relaxant. so i guess in terms of "strength" of addiction properties, vicodin is stronger (and may have more of an euphoric effect)
Is Darvocet and vicodin the same?
No. Darvocet is a Schedule IV narcotic, on the lowest class of opiate analgesics. While an opiate derivative, it's relatively weak when it comes to pain medication. Being a Schedule IV drug, you can get refills and a doctor can call it in. It is in the same class as Codeine. Percocet is a Schedule II narcotic, a combination of Oxycodone and Tylenol. It is normally given only to patients with previous experience/tolerance to opiates at lower levels. The Schedule II narcotics cannot be refilled, nor can they be called in to a pharmacy - you must have an original prescription from your doctor for each fill. Darvocet isn't even close in potency to Percocet, although some Pharmacists believe Darvocet to be more toxic.
What is stronger Vicodin or percacet for pain?
Vicodin and Percodan are powerful narcotic pain relievers that are only available by prescription from a doctor. Vicodin is a schedule 3 narcotic, and Percodan is a schedule two narcotic. Both medications can lead to tolerance.
What to eat with Vicodin?
More vicodin....... Nom nom nom
Are Darvocet equal to Lortab?
No. Hydrocodone (the narcotic contained in Lortab) is about 10-15 times stronger than Darvocet, technically. However the analgesia and euphoria associated with hydrocodone is much greater than that associated with Darvocet. (Most would agreee that the two aren't even comparable). Also, Darvocet has a more narrow therapeutic range, making it more dangerous in high amounts. Likewise, most hydrocodone containing medications (Lortab, Lorcet, Vicodin) also contain high amounts of acetaminophen, which can be harmful to the liver, especially in patients with liver failure.
Is Vicodin stronger then Roxie's?
no. vicodin is hydrocodone where as a roxie is oxycodone. which is a bit more on the strong side than a vicodin.
Is Darvocet 100 mg as strong as a lortab 7.5?
No, it is quite weaker. WARNING: Overdose of Darvocet is highly toxic and may lead to irreversible liver damage or death. Do not take more Darvocet to "make up" for it's weakness.
