Darvon and Darvocet

There are no known drug to drug interactions between these two medications, making them safe to take together...regardless of the time of day. Make sure to contact you primary care provider prior to taking these two medications to ensure that it is safe.

Darvon has a metabolic half life of about 6 hours. So after 6 hours your body will have half as much as the original dosage. Six hours later it will have 1/4, six hours after thAt 1/8 and so on.

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.

Yes, there was a scientific study published in a psyciatry journal done at a medical school in israel than compared giving 300mg of dxm plus clonidine to patients receiving only clonidine for the treatment of opiate withdrawal, this study was dont in 2013, look it up. the result was that the dxm/clonidine patiens experienced less withdrawal than the only clonidine patients

Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant that most noticeably causes drowsiness. It can also cause you to feel somewhat 'relaxed,' but this is a very mild high at best. Darvocet can also causes drowsiness, as well as several more desirable side effects. Basically the cyclobenzaprine is going to put you to sleep. I personally would skip the cyclone and just go with the Darvocet. No one likes getting a good dopey high going only to pass out a half hour later.

Yes, I hope so. I would be willing to sign any form regarding heart issues to receive my Darvocet back. I too have tried multiple other pain meds, with no relief or was allergic to them. The Darvocet was not totally effective for pain, but was the best for my back and joint pain. I wonder why the FDA has not recalled Penicillin and some other drugs that cause severe problems, but they are still on the market.

Darvocet is Propoxyphene a very weak opiate combined with a large amount of Tylenol usually 650mg in Darvocets case the Tylenol usually provides more relief than the propoxyphene it is basically a useless drug.Hydrocodone or lortab is a stronger semi-synthetic opiate pain killer also combined with Tylenol.Both can be addictive so you should be careful

I just read on another site that the two in combination are not advised. There is a potential for an uncontrolled hallucinatory effect. I'm not a medical doctor, I'm just passing on the information I read on this site. Norco is, however, the stronger drug for pain and makes it unnecessary for taking the two drugs together.

no it shows up as darvocet depends on how detailed they want to get on your test if they dont get to detailed it will show up just as an opiate but they can specifically tell what you took if they want to get detailed hope this helps !@

yes

Propoxyphene is in a group of drugs called narcotic pain relievers. It is the generic term for Darvocet or Darvon.

Strong, not the strongest, but nothing to mess around with.

Funny I should stumble upon this question. I have been taking Darvocet for approximately 3 years. I have a crooked spine which causes me daily back, neck and head pain. It's not bad enough yet for me to have surgery, but bad enough that I'm not benefiting from physical therapy. Therefore, Darvocet has been a life-saver for me.

I also suffer from mild "seasonal affective disorder". Around the beginning to middle of September (when the weather starts to get colder), I fall into a complete slump. Unable to get motivated, I feel like staying in bed all day. I also get rapid panic attacks at the onset of the changing of the seasons. Last year, my doctor prescribed Prozac for the S.A.D., and said that I could take it for the winter months and discontinue it once the fall and winter months were over. This worked wonders for me, and I continued using it until the end of April. The only downside to this was that I experienced a significantly decreased libido.

With fall rolling around again, I found myself back into the same slump as last year. I went to my doctor and asked him if there was something similar to Prozac that wouldn't affect my libido as much. He prescribed Lexapro. He did say that while this drug may also lower my libido, it shouldn't be as bad as the Prozac because the usual needed dosage is much lower.

I asked him how the Lexapro and Darvocet would mix, and he said that I shouldn't have a problem with the two as long as I'm not abusing either drug (i.e., taking too much Darvocet just to get "high". Which I don't.)

One of my main concerns with taking the Darvocet and an anti-depressant was the risk of "serotonin syndrome". It's when too much serotonin is released into the bloodstream, causing a whole range of unpleasant symptoms. I asked him about this as well, and he said that almost ALL of the cases of serotonin syndrome came from people who severely abuse medication, and that these two medications will not cause this when taken as directed.

I know I'm rambling, but I always like to read the detailed responses to questions when looking things up, so I tend to get pretty detailed with my answers.

The Lexapro so far has worked wonders for me as well, without the decreased libido. I've been taking it with the Darvocet and have had no umpleasant side effects. I hope the Lexapro works for you, too! Takes a few weeks, but it really does start to help...A LOT! Just take the Darvocet and Lexapro at prescribed levels and you should do just fine on it!

As far as I am concerned, my doctor has prescribed me anti-inflammatory (such as naproxen or ibuprofen) together with muscle relaxer (such as flexiril). Make sure the the dosage is not too high though. For example, I would take a 250mg naproxen (2 times/day) and 10 mg flexiril (3 times/day).

if its the most common form of darvocet (darvocet n-100) then it has 100mg of propoxyphene and 650 mg of acetaminophen (tylenol) what is in darvocet and how compatible is to percocet

"Darvon" (Propoxyphene) WILL show up on a 10-screen drug test, but not the 5-screen. You should find out what type of test you are being administered. http://www.collegegrad.com/jobsearch/New-Job-Preparation/Drug-Testing-And-Other-Possible-Conditions-Of-Employment/

Darvocet is non addictive as it is not from the opium family like vicodin is.

Yes, although first introduced for use for recovering heroin addicts, it is also prescribed for many other pain management or (painkilling) afflictions. It will also 'take the place of' or have the same affect as other medical drugs which are derived from opiates' such as Oxycontin, Morphine Sulfate, Loratab, ect., ect.

No, Darvocet* is a brand name* * for a propoxyphene compounded drug. It is a controlled substance, available legally only by prescription.

A lot of physicians just wont presecribe it at all because it is highly adictive. And many say that it just does not do the job, and that better products with fewer possible consequences are available. (Still it is a steady producer for Eli Lilly; all physicians are not in agreement.)

Propoxyphene is related to codeine and hydrocodone, but it is not the same.

*Darvocet is a product belonging to Eli Lilly and Company. It contains other substances than just propoxyphene; it comes in various doses, sizes and shapes. See the link discussing Darvocet and associates.

** Darvocet and several combinations are brand names of Eli Lilly. Propoxyphene is a generic drug; however, Darvocet is a particular product, with a particular shape, combination and packaging. Darvocet and its variations belongs to Eli Lilly and Company.

its a narcotic pain reliever. can be habit forming

From your doctor with a prescription. If you are talking about illegal I cannot comment on that.

Darvocet (acetaminophen and propoxyphene) was withdrawn from the U.S. market in November 2010.

Darvocet 5114 V pills are actually a generic version of Darvocet-N 100. Like any other Darvocet-N 100 pills, they contain 650 mg of acetaminophen and 100 mg of propoxyphene napsylate.

No. Darvocet is a pain relieving drug, not anti-inflammatory. Darvocet contains codeine, which is meant to relieve pain, not so much for inflammation. See if you can get some 800mg Motrin instead. Even for a pain reliever, Darvocet isn't very strong....seems to work well as a mild pain reliever for females though.

Darvocet has been removed from the market in the United States due to toxicities caused by the active ingredients, even at commonly prescribed doses.

Patients with legitimate Darvocet prescriptions should contact their doctors to find an alternative.

Recreational Darvocet use without a prescription is to be discouraged. It is particularly damaging to the heart and liver, even at "normal" doses. As a drug of abuse and at higher doses, it is pure poison.
