Question/Comment:

I take Darvocet for Severe back pain and it gets rid of the pain for me but it takes two of them to do it. Instead of being drowsy it makes me feel like I am wired up I guess that is what you would call it. I am wide awake when I take it so I cant take it at night.

Question/Comment:

I am taking Darvocet for digenerative spinal disease. The pain is excruciating and the Darvocet takes the edge off but not the complete pain. I try not to take it daily as it is said to be highly addictive. Anyone with an addictive behavior should take very close caution about when to take.

Question/Comment:

I use Darvocet to cut down on using stronger pain medication if possible for my chronic condition. It isn't effective for bad pain, but it works quite well when tylenol alone wouldn't be enough.
