| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR DARVOCET-N 50 | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 3 | Breast lift & reduction | Racing heart, mild sleepiness | I only took 1/2 a pill as I am very easily effected by medications. It took away the pain, but I hated the racing heart. That started about 25 mins. after I took it and lasted an hour or more. | F | 35 | 3 days | 6/21/2008 | 1 | Back Injury (compressed disks) | Nausia, dizzy, feeling as though I have to throw up, shaky, cannot concentrate, loss of breath, cotton mouth, kidney pain, and so on... | Darvocet N-100 is what I was taking, did not help with the pain but gave me a whole list of other problems. would not reccomend it to anyone, use caution if taking already!!! I would rather deal with the pain than deal with all the other crap. | M | 24 | 5 days | 6/17/2008 | 3 | wisdom teeth extraction | Sleepiness, slight disorientation | I had some pain from my surgery, but not alot. The Darvocet helped ease what pain I had and let me sleep much better. I can't tell how well it works on more severe pain, because my pain has been very mild. | F | 27 | 4 days | 5/29/2008 | 4 | Back pain, arthritis, leg pain | None, except for occasional leftover drowsiness if I don't get at least eight hours of sleep after taking it. | I take this periodically at night for back or leg pain. I never use it during the day, due to the slight sedating effect. It seems to work better than most painkillers I have tried for my chronic back problems. Unless I am really hurting a lot, I will take only one pill per night; otherwise, it will sedate me too much, and I won't want to wake up early the next day. Still, even on the rare occasions that I have taken two of these, they didn't cause me as much grogginess as one Tylenol PM would! | F | 54 | 14 months | 4/19/2008 | 2 | hand surgery | cried all the time, felt very sad, got depressed in a matter of a few hours after surgery. Feelings of despair over nothing. | It must have worked well for the pain as I had none, but I cried for 3 days not realizing why I was so sad over nothing. I was beginning to become depressed when the thought occured to me this feeling might be side effects. I switched to ibuprophen that day and within a day all sadness-crying ceased. Now I know why my father becomes depressed and cries alot for no reason. His Dr took him off NSAIDS for his arthritis and put him on Darvocet 100. I knew it made him talk silly, but did not realize it caused his sad mood. | 52 | 3 days | 4/12/2008 | 1 | lower back pain | Darvocet-N 100: nausea, dizziness, headache, short-term memory loss, sluggish | I was prescribed Darvocet-N 100 to relieve mild back pain experienced while lying down. All I wanted was a good nights sleep however, this drug did not deliver. Besides not relieving the pain, side effects were unbearable. I found much needed relief with vicodin-500mg. | F | 29 | 1 weeks | 4/6/2008 | 1 | Knee Injury | vomiting every time I took it, hallucinations (thought I had a bunch of animals running around in my house!), always in a "foggy" state of mind, cold & clamy followed by streaks of hot flashes, depression & sever mood swings | USELESS ..... MORE HARM THAN ANYTHING! Didnt even dull the pain. Stopped taking after a week since I didnt feel anything like my self | F | 25 | 1 weeks | 4/6/2008 | 2 | broken hand | drowsiness....pain that just didn't go away | sorry to say this drug did nothing for me. I broke my hand in three places and they gave me a darvocet and it felt like it never kicked in, just made me really sleepy, but I could barely even do that b/c I was in so much pain. The next day I went to another hospital and the ER doctor laughed when I told him they gave me darvocet and his exact quote "Darvocet is pretty useless, isn't it?" seriously. He then gave me Vicodin and I was feeling sooo much better...definitely took the edge off and didn't even make me as sleepy. Bottom Line: Darvocet feels like one step up from tylenol (which isn't very good w/ pain anyway...better for fever). | F | 21 | 2 days | 3/24/2008 | 2 | Neck Surgery; Malignant Tumor | Darvocet-N 100: edginess, slight anxiety, racing heart, general feeling of unease, and frustration at lack of pain relief (if that counts) | I had a very large mass in my neck, which my doctors discovered was a malignant tumor. It had metastasized extensively, so surgery lasted for several hours (their goal was to remove as much of it as they could without keeping me under for too long). I was given Vicodin ES post-op, and then given a prescription for Darvocet-N 100 (I-II p.o. PRN 4-6 hrs.) upon discharge. Surgery was 3 days ago, and I used the Darvocet-N 100 exactly 2x before throwing it away. My PCP prescribed regular Vicodin (5/500) (I p.o. TID) this morning, and just the ONE 5/500 Vicodin works better to lessen (not exactly relieve, but lessen, which I *am* grateful for) my post-op pain. When I phoned the surgeon to explain that the Darvocet had not helped, I was told to take OTC Tylenol (after them cutting away at a major area of my neck and a 5" incision)! I already have Motrin 800 mg., which would certainly work better than the Darvocet, however it can cause excessive bleeding if the incision is not fully | 29 | 2 times | 3/19/2008 | 2 | corneal abrasion | a teeny teeny bit spaced out | useless, my eye was hurting from an abrasion, I think the doctor prescribed this just to piss me off, it totally did nothing for the pain and I never take pain killers, so I have zero tollerance | M | 1 days | 3/17/2008 | 4 | Reumathoid arthritis | great pain reliver (took Darvocet-N100),but many side effects:euphoria,problems with concentration,sleeping problems,hallucinations (which led to paranoia!!!),lack of appetite- | M | 33 | 9 months | 3/13/2008 | 1 | Endometriosis and ovarian cysts | None, except that it didn't work and that made me cry. **sniffle** | It'll help with headaches (at least it's helped my mom). It doesn't work with moderate to severe pain, though. | F | 22 | 10 weeks | 2/21/2008 | 2 | Neck and back pain/headaches | Horrifying nightmares | Hardly took the edge off..generic naproxen sodium helps more than this stuff. Garbage. | 24 | 4 days | 2/9/2008 | 1 | migraines | upset stomach...dry mouth..nausea | Took for migraines did not work at all took the edge off but migraine seemed to come back stronger less than three hours later. | F | 21 | 1 days | 1/30/2008 | 4 | menstrual cramps/breast pain | Mild euphoria/dizziness. | This is the only thing I've taken for menstrual cramps and premenstrual breast tenderness that has worked for me. Tried naprosyn which did nothing. Darvocet has been the only thing that has eliminated my menstrual cramps. | F | 32 | 60 days | 1/21/2008 | 4 | 4 wisdom teeth extraction | slight dizziness, light headed, no concentrating. | It works good but you never really notice it working because the pain just kind of disappears so you just feel like you. | M | 16 | 3 months | 1/21/2008 | 5 | migraine | none | I take n 100 for migraines w/o auora. Takes a good 30 - 45 min. to achieve pain relief, but it does get rid of the pain with no side effects. For migraine with auora, I am fortunate that feverfew (herb) works for me. | F | 36 | | 1/11/2008 | 2 | migraines | my head felt really cloudy, doesn't help | I'm taking n-100 for migraines. It takes about 1.5 hours for the darvocet to start working, and then it only takes the edge off, which usually is not enough for any kind of relief. This is a safer drug than vicodin, which I was on before but started to take more than I should have, which ended up raising my liver enzymes. But, I am really not getting enough pain relief from the darvocet. | F | 20 | 1 weeks | 1/3/2008 | 2 | Wisdom teeth removal | None, other than it not working good. | I was in serious pain after having four wisdom teeth removed. Hydrocodone made me nauseous so my doctor gave me Darvocet. It sucked. I was still in serious pain, even with taking the Darvocet. It lessened the pain a little, but it was still unbearable. My doctor thinks his patients could be druggies so he doesn't prescribed us the good stuff. Boo. | F | 22 | 2 days | 12/29/2007 | 3 | painful periods | doesnt really AFTER YOU TAKE IT FOR AWHILE | really no side affects | F | 30 | 2 years | 12/21/2007 |
