Darvocet is a mild to moderate narcotic analgesic that works by affecting the brain so that we do not experience pain in the normal way.

Darvocet High

As with all narcotics, some people misuse Darvocet to obtain a high. The drug should not be used for this purpose and should never be snorted.

Effects of Darvocet High

Patients who have taken the drug have reported that the usual effects are confusion, unsteadiness and clumsiness. Others said they felt restless and nervous. Many people who tried it for the purpose of getting high said it gave them a drowsy, "stuck to the couch" kind of feeling.

Using Darvocet to try and get high is dangerous, both because it contains propoxyphene, which is an addictive drug, and because it depresses the central nervous system and respiration.

Propoxyphene's most common side effects are constipation, dizziness, drowsiness, lightheadedness, nausea and vomiting. Its more serious side effects damage the heart and can cause death.

Darvocet also contains acetaminophen, which when taken in excess can cause the following:

• Abdominal pain
• Loss of appetite
• Coma
• Diarrhea
• Convulsions
• Irritability
• Upset stomach
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Jaundice

These early symptoms may recede, but liver damage then begins to occur. Symptoms tend to be more severe in persons with liver or kidney disease.

Darvocet is addictive because of its active ingredient propoxyphene. Doctors and patients must use caution when stopping the drug to avoid withdrawal symptoms, which can include runny nose, muscle aches, stomach craps, anxiety, fatigue, nausea and weight loss.

Contact a Darvocet Abuse Lawyer

If you have suffered any of the side effects of Darvocet or have become addicted to the drug, you should contact a Darvocet abuse lawyer to find out if you qualify to seek compensation. The drug was recalled in November 2010 due to its harmful effects.
