| 4 | pain | none | M | 68 | | 6/11/2002 | 2 | pain | 49 | 2 days | 7/15/2002 | 1 | lower back pain | experienced severe chest pain. pharmacist said it was a heartburn like reaction. Never took it again. It did nothing for the pain. | Patient should keep track of what works and what doesnt and let the Dr. know. | M | 46 | 1 times | 9/6/2002 | 1 | Lower back pain | flu like symptoms. | F | 31 | 3 weeks | 11/27/2002 | 3 | | 1/23/2003 | 1 | severe spine damage | i felt like i was outside my body, very dizzy, almost called 911 i was so scared. vomited horribly, and was absolutly sick until drug wore off | it may be just my reaction, but i'm glad i can share it with others so they know when talking to thier doctor about pain management | M | 33 | 1 days | 11/13/2003 | 4 | I have a blatter disease called IC | Dry mouth It also makes me stay awake. It doesn't make me sleep. It wires me a little. | Darvon-n does help me I have had this disease for about six years and since this is a cronic disease doctors don't like giving pain medication. This disease is very very painful. Though Darvon doesn't take away all the pain it does help. My only conplaint is that their is not a genaric so my insurance doesn't pay much of the cost. | F | 35 | 3 years | 5/4/2004 | 4 | shoulder pain | itchiness | worked well and didn't upset my stomach | F | 54 | 3 days | 5/9/2004 | 3 | Ovarian Cyst ruptured | -Tiredness/Fatigue -Gitters/Shakes -Upset stomache (due to the fact that I am having problems keeping anything done) | My doctor switched me from Tylenol 3 w/cod, as the stomach upset was unbearable and the pain was still quite intense. | F | 29 | 4 days | 5/10/2004 | 1 | | 5/18/2004 | 5 | I am a post-polio | I get a little sleepy, but after you take Darvon-N for awhile it wears off. | I would say that Darvon-N is the best pain pill out today. When I was taking Celebrex (and I took it for almost 3 years), I felt good but I was getting blood in the stool. Celebrex does this. It is a damaging pill. That is why I switched to Darvon-N. I read so much about it and then asked my Dr. if it were a possibility to change to Darvon-N. She said OK and I have been using it ever since. I feel better just knowing that I'm off Celebrex - a medication that can give you bleeding ulcers and who knows what else. | F | 75 | 2 months | 8/12/2004 | 3 | | 10/21/2004 | 1 | Migraine/Headache | Zero. No effects after taking 200mgs. | 6ft 200lb male, prescribed 100mg tabs with 1-2 to be taken every 6 hrs for pain relief (migraine). First time used, I felt absolutely no effects while experiencing a horrible migraine and having consumed 2x100mg. | M | 26 | 1 days | 10/25/2004 | 1 | Back/neck pain | Nausea, motion sickness, panic attacks, severe gastric distress | This medicine is absolute garbage. Two regular strength aspirin work better on pain than this crap. Way too many side effects and it can easily kill you via an overdose. It should be taken off the market | M | 33 | 2 weeks | 1/17/2005 | 1 | For HA | No side effects that I could notice | Many doctors and dentists prescribe propoxyphene (Darvon, Wygesic, Darvocet) for pain. As a dentist myself who experiences debilitating migraines 1-2 times a month, this drug is no better than 650mg of aspirin and this has been proven. When I prescribe a pain pill I generally use hydrocodone (Vicodin, Lortab, Anexsia) which is far superior to codeine and propoxyphene. I have also head success with oxycodone (Percocet, and Percodan), and pentazocine (Talacen). Talacen provides excellent pain relief and is under utilized in the medical profession. I also use butorphanol (Stadol) which when used properly gives excellent pain relief. Honestly, I rarely have had anybody who gets relief from propoxyphene. As a side point many doctors and dentists have been using ketorolac (Toradol) for acute pain. This medication is not only usually ineffective for neural pain, but can destroy the kidneys. It is extremely toxic, avoid it at all cost. Doctors are afraid to use narcotics because of addiction but they must think its alright to destroy their patients kidneys!, L Sanderson, DDS | M | 30 | 1 times | 2/23/2005 | 5 | Low Back Pain - 2 Buldging discs | None. | This drug is very helpfull with controlling my pain. Works as good or better than Ultram and Darvocet, without the stomach ache that those others give. I personally Take 1 every 4 hrs. and this lets me continue my day to day activities. | M | 38 | 1.5 years | 2/28/2005 | 1 | Knee pain due to loose ligaments | Feelings of euphoria when taking more than prescrcibed or mixing with alcohol | This drug SUCKED! I was taking them for knee pain, but they weren't working. I was taking so many that I was getting high! My Dr. switched me to Percocet, and now I only have to take one every so often when the pain gets really bad and I can't sleep. | F | 26 | 8 days | 3/21/2005 | 1 | neuropathic pain | Nausea, anxiety, gastric distress, vomiting, headache | was first given this for my chronic neuro pain when doc did not want to give anything stronger. I had such a bad time with it I thought it was going to kill me and I only took 3 pills. I have since been moved on to roxicodone 30mg and now pain free. | M | 33 | 2 days | 5/24/2005 | 2 | e4w44 | fw tbtre t44 4 | rhh | M | 75 | 5 days | 7/14/2006 | 3 | M | 30 | 90 days | 8/11/2006 |
