 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

 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

 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

 3  tooth extraction Slight dizziness, feeling of euphoria, sleepiness My oral surgeon prescribed this drug for me because all opiate derivatives such as hydrocodone make me violently ill. It helped for the 3 days of intense jaw pain I experienced and I did not feel nauseous or vomit from it. F 45 3 days
