| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR DARVOCET-N 50 | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 2 | ovarian cyst pain/dysmenorrhea | I got dizziness and nausea, drowsiness, and a feeling of relaxation. The normal dose is about 100 mgs, though I had to take almost twice that to get any analgesic benefit. Also had to take dramamine with it to prevent severe nausea every time. It's also WAY too slow-acting when you're sitting there in pain waiting/hoping for it to work. And you have to take it several times before you get any pain relief at all! | Propoxyphene is not good for pain control. It knocked out maybe 20% of my pain, and made me drowsy, lightheaded, and a bit loopy. I ordered this drug online as it is Schedule IV and pretty available, and for good reason: It doesn't work. Worth taking for placebo, I guess, or to treat the stress and anxiety that result from not having access to a more effective pain med. However, it is loaded with acetaminophen, so watch out. This is what you are stuck with if hydrocodone makes you sick, or if your doctor refuses to treat your pain properly with a better med. This drug is like alcohol, having little medical application and so limited value beyond abuse. A few shots of vodka will have more effect and probably be easier on your liver! Bottom line this has all the hazards of an OTC NSAID and is no more potent, but is still addictive and will produce withdrawl. I would advise to avoid unless you literally have nothing else to take. | F | 29 | 14 days | 10/24/2006 | 5 | Oral Surgery | drowsy sometimes but not with each dose. | My doctor switched me to this drug because the Vicodin was making me vomit. This drug really took care of my pain and didn't make me loopy like the narcotics do. | F | 39 | 1 weeks | 10/2/2006 | 5 | broken foot | It made me very relaxed and I slept very well that night. | Took pain away. | F | 19 | | 8/26/2006 | 4 | shoulder tendonitis & root canal | slight relaxation & sense of well-being | Darvocet-N 100 helps with mild to moderate pain. Takes the edge off when I need just a little more than advil. | F | 43 | | 8/26/2006 | 2 | yes | intense itching, drowsiness | i couldn't take vicodin because it made me nauseous, so i had to take darvocet. the itching happened to me the last time i took it (for another surgery), but i thought maybe this time it wouldn't. i was wrong! | F | 24 | 3 days | 7/16/2006 | 4 | torn meniscis | Mild nausea but worth the relief. | First full night of sleep in two weeks. | F | 54 | 3 days | 6/23/2006 | 1 | neck pain | none whatsoever | didnt do anything for pain managment. better off to have a few glasses of wine | M | 53 | 2 days | 6/8/2006 | 1 | neck pain | none whatsoever | didnt do anything for pain managment. better off to have a few glasses of wine | M | 53 | 2 days | 6/8/2006 | 5 | Tooth Extraction | Occasonal "Wooziness," occasional sleepiness | Having taken almost all forms of pain meds available for migraines & more throughout the years, I have to say Darvocet N-50 is for people who normally don't take pain meds and have very mild pain. I use it to take the edge off so I can go on with my day - like most take tylenol. (Length of time = current time use only) | F | 42 | 1 weeks | 6/3/2006 | 1 | nerve damage lower back | None that really stand out in my mind. | I would never take this again. My Dr. had me taking this med and after I kept telling him "It's not touching the pain" over and over again he then gives me another "form" of it. That stuff isn't helping either. One time he gave me Vicodin and that took away the pain and I could walk upright again. I tried for 2 weeks with the Darvocet to give it time, like my Dr told me to. Still Nothing! I'm going to flush my Darvocets down the toilet, that's about what they're worth to me. Best of luck to everyone living with pain! | F | 14 days | 5/30/2006 | 4 | fibromyalgia | Some times I itch however I get relief from the itching with benadrill75mg DAarvocet n 100 is the best pain reliever I have found to work for me I am able to work full time if I take my meds I take 4 pills a day and have for over 7 years I feel that with out this medication I would be in a wheel chair and not able to work or play with my 2 year old grand son | this is a great medication for the pain from fibromyalgia I also take paxil | F | 53 | 7 times | 5/16/2006 | 3 | Lower back pain | Pain went away, especially with a weak bull shot (vodka and Red Bull) but late that night I was very dizzy when I stood up to use restroom. Once in a while okay | M | 39 | 1 days | 3/6/2006 | 5 | surgury and then knee pain | knee felt well enough to participate in a hard phyical contact sport with no pain during or after the night. | it takes about an hour to an hour and a half to eliminate the pain(arthritic). I am using this instead of Vicodin so that I am not risking addiction. I use it about once or twice a week but only when I am doing the sport. No side effect noticed. | M | 65 | 500 days | 11/23/2005 | 2 | minor foot surgery | made pain tolerable, but stomach side effects were so bad I was throwing up. | F | 46 | 2 days | 11/12/2005 | 5 | broken wrist | none to speak of...helped sleep | Much much better than vicoden, which made me throw up for an entire day | F | 55 | 8 weeks | 7/8/2005 | 1 | Lower back pain | No side effects....no effects at all | I got as much pain relief from the water I used to swallow the tablets. Took 2 every 4 hrs and got no relief at all. | M | 57 | 5 days | 7/6/2005 | 3 | Pregnancy complications | Paranoia, Insomnia, Anxiety | This helped with the pain but the side effects were rather unpleasant. I tried Vicodin before but it just made me dizzy and very very irritable. | F | 25 | 6 weeks | 5/27/2005 | 3 | trigenial neuralgia | itching (not as bad as with Vicodin), spaced-out feeling, restlessness, anxiety, and insomnia. It does help alleviate pain, however. | Overall, this is a better pain reliever than Vicodin, with the exception that it causes restlessness and insomnia. | F | 31 | 10 days | 3/29/2005 | 3 | Knee injury | Slight drowsiness. | I found Vicodin (hydrocodone/acetaminophen) to be more effective. | M | 42 | 5 days | 2/22/2005 | 2 | knee pain | retaining water, and extreme kidney pain, so bad i couldnt walk very far, a few hunderd feet before i had to rest | helped me sleep if i only took a half of one, but i really didnt get un foggy until the middle of the next day | F | 45 | 5 weeks | 1/31/2005 |
