Global Patient Feedback for Darvocet (Propoxyphene HCl and Acetaminophen) ( Post a comment )
Question/Comment:
I have seen family members become very dependent on Darvocet. This makes me extremely careful about taking it. I may take eight or ten a MONTH, so I only use it when pain is interfering with life. (I have a family care home for handicapped adults so I have to be active even when I don't feel like it.) I don't think a doctor can be too careful in making sure what kind of person he is prescribing for. And patients need to be aware that the potential for addiction is very real. I like this medication because it does not make me sleepy, and that is very important to me. I understand that it doesn't have the same effect with everyone, so I am stating this as a blanket benefit, but it certainly contributes to my satisfaction.
