Darvocet!?!
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
Hey guys.

My doc gave me a new pain killer called Darvocet. I have heard of it but have never taken it. I usually take Hydrocodone 5/500. It is kind of a russian roullette game with it. Some times it helps, sometimes it makes me sicker, sometimes it does nada.

Have any of you taken Darvocet? Does it work?

Doc says since I have one kidney ( donated other to my dad) that it will not hurt the kidney. But it passes through the liver. WAIT! I only have one of those ! DOH.

Let me know your thoughts on Darvocet. Thanks!

" I have used Darvocet a few times before but not for this. If your worried about your liver there is a Natural pill that I take that detoxes your liver and I take it once a day in the morning. "

" FROM THE AGE OF 26 TILL 2000 I AM NOW 53, I TOOK DARVOCET. IT HELPED UNTIL THE PAIN GOT WORSE. IT GOT WORSE AFTER I STARTED WORKING AS A CNA DOWN HERE IN NC. STARTED IN 2000, BUT FOR ABOUT MAYBE THREE YEARS I LIVED ON TONS OF ADVIL AND ZANTAC.
THEN 2005 STARTED HUNTING FOR DRS. DIDN'T FIND A DECENT ONE TILL I MOVED OUT HERE TO SALISBURY NC. FOUND HIM IN LEXINGTON WHICH IS ABOUT 20 MINUTES AWAY.

" UNFORTUNATELY YOU WILL FIND THE DARVOCET IS NOT AS STRONG AS THE VICODIN. HOPEFULLY IT WILL WORK FOR YOU. I THINK WE ALL HAVE TO CHANGES PILLS BECAUSE OUR SYSTEMS GET USED TO ONE KIND. HUGS "

" I took darvocet for a few years when i was seeing a pain specialist. Then i was put on it for about a year by my rheumo. It didnt help my fibro pain much at all.
Darvocet is not as strong as vicodin. "

" Sorry I have not taken it.

You can check out any medication on www.askapatient.com

Just keep in mind that most people post the negative side and not always the positive.

Darvocet is one of the lowest dose opiods. I took them when I was first diagnosed and they really didn't do much for pain. But they did make me forgetful, really messed up my brain - stopped taking them and was given codine. "
