 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

 5  Acute Rhumatoid Arthritis None, this is a great drug. Was taking codine, which made me a mean bastard. Even I knew I was being a bastard but couldn't seem to help it. Then started taking darvocet, which worked on the pain but I was taking almost 3 grams of acetaminophen along with it. My liver was getting fried. I asked my DR for straight darvon because it had more of the propoxyphene (100mg) and no acetaminophen. I take 200 - 300 mg day, and feel great. Slight euphoria 1 hour after taking it, but not stoned by any stretch. M 43 1 years

 4  Migraine None Darvon N has helped me to control my migraines for years, without "rebound headaches" or stomach upset. I am able to take it while I am working, which I could not with other medications. What works for some people, does not work the same for others. It is very important to find a doctor with some training in pain management, and whose job is to relieve patients' pain, rather than live in fear of the DEA. M 51 5 years

 3  facette joint damage, deg. disc de mental foggyness, poor concentration, anxiety, nerviousness, cronic fatigue, paranoia, lack of interest in almost all activities. want to be alone....Really changed who I "was" at best I would say it "dulled" the acute pain, but how I explain it... "The pain is still there, I just don't care" because I'm stoned, but I also can't do anything because I can't focus on anything. M 43 3 years

 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

 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  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

 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

 5  Lower back pain Slight dizziness sometimes I found this very good. I got an ulcer from anti-inflammatories and then was switched to codeine based medication, which made me sick. I find Darvon N great. I never feel sick and it very effective for me. My doctor (who has been practicing for 50 years)says that people either find it fantastic or like water. F 30 2 years

 5  Moderate arthritis in hip None I have read all this about Darvon not working any better than aspirin and that is totally not the case with me. It works like magic. I get a slight euphoria from it for about 1/2 hour, but not to the point that I can't concentrate. It takes the edge off my pain so I can walk without a limp and pain. I am getting a hip replacement in a year or two....so this is holding me over until then. I have had no side effects and so far no addiction. I take about 4 pills per day. I have tried everything else and this works the best without the mental confusion the other drugs caused me. F 36 6 days
