What is the shelf life of the medication Darvocet?

Studies have been done showing that many prescription medications can remain safe and effective for months or even years past their expiration dates, if the choice is between expired medication or no medication.However, the safest practice is generally to throw away medicines on their expiration date, especially those that require refrigeration.Here's the deal: you're talking about your health, here, and Darvocet has been pulled off the market in the US; perhaps it's time to get a new prescription for a drug that's still actually being sold?

What happens when a person takes two Darvocet pills instead of one?

Darvocet was pulled off the market for a reason. If you happen to find a few in your medicine cabinet that you had forgotten about it is probably best to throw them out. They don't work much better than aspirin, yet they seem to have all the side effects of a typical weak opiate; constipation, miosis (tiny pupils), euphoria (feeling good) and nausea and vomiting are just a few. Taking two tablets will make all of the above, plus some lovely side effects not listed, twice as bad. Darvocet are addictive, so taking Two tablets (of any habit forming drug) is probably a bad idea. Darvocet also tends to screw with your heart rhythm. or rather, your body breaks down darvocet into a chemical that is similar to lidocaine (the kind they use in the E.R. to sort of jump start your heart). Taking two Darvocet means your body is making twice that amount of metabolites that mess with your heart. so, all that being said, taking two Darvocet will increase whatever the user is looking for: pain relief, sedation, euphoria, etc.. But, is it worth the risk of heart attack, or at the very least oversedation, for a pill that doesnt do much better than asprin?

Doze off and jerk and try to wake myself up and can't feels like my soul is being pulled off bed?

I also had that experience, without my soul feeling like it was being pulled off the bed. It's probably Astral Travel, where the body is asleep and the soulspirit is going to (or trying to go to) a nice place awhile, for counselling or healing or both. I am a bit concerned that you feel Ike your soul is being PULLED off the bed, that could be a problem. Probably if you think the phrase: "back to bed now", it would work to help you re-integrate and sleep.
