Darvocet-N 100 (acetaminophen/ propoxyphene): All this hooplah about the dangers of Darvocet. I used to take Tylenol 8 hour, but had to take it more than once or even more than twice a day and it did not take away the horrible muscle spasms I was getting, especially at night. I take Darvocet at bedtime, one time and it gets me through the night and the entire next day. It works for me and I'm not changing.

Balacet (acetaminophen/ propoxyphene): This stuff works just as well as vicodin and the rest of its family without the loopiness. It gives the extra edge you need to feel better not sedated.

Darvocet-N 100 (acetaminophen/ propoxyphene): For me, this is only slightly better than Tylenol, but it is what my doctor prescribes for me, so it is definitely better than nothing. I have no side effects from it, no sleepiness, upset stomach, etc.

Wygesic (acetaminophen/ propoxyphene): really helped, worked fast. I took it with food, without food gave a sour stomach. Helped me to sleep, too.

Darvocet-N 100 (acetaminophen/ propoxyphene): It will for sure help with the pain. Mine is a toothache, but it makes me soo sleepy. I sleep wonderful, but find it hard to want to wake up.

Darvocet-N 100 (acetaminophen/ propoxyphene): It's working for me also. I'm using it for some heavy duty pain and it's working but not 100%. I don't think there is much you can do to take the pain 100% away. But I thank the makers of Darvoset.

Darvocet-N 100 (acetaminophen/ propoxyphene): This is the only drug that eases my arthritis and doesn't cause me a lot of side effects. I've been taking it for several years and hope I never have to give it up.

acetaminophen/propoxyphene: The best medicine there is. You can function and feel no pain and at the same time sleep well. I have also been prescribed other medicines, which are either too much or not enough. This is just right.

acetaminophen/propoxyphene: I have a herniated disk in my lower back and I also suffer from migraines. With vicodin I was relieved from most lower back pain, but if I has the slightest bit of a headache the vicodin just seemed to intensify the throbbing in my head, but with the darvocet I am able to cope with the back pain and not have to worry about it triggering a more severe headache.

Darvocet-N 100 (acetaminophen/ propoxyphene): I have horrible monthly cramps and this is the ONLY thing that works. I can still function and pain is gone when I take it. I also get migraines - this works great for them.

acetaminophen/propoxyphene: Allergic to a lot of pain relievers, they gave this to me after my c-section with my 2nd child. Couldn't stand percoset, so this was a welcome change. Worked great, only used it when pain from scar hurt too much. Definitely take with food, will make you dizzy/tired.

Darvocet-N 100 (acetaminophen/ propoxyphene): I use Darvocet for severe headaches if/when ibuprofen won't relieve the pain. I can take Darvocet and not have to miss work because of the headaches. The only (minor) side effect is a bit of drowsiness, which goes away after I drink my morning tea. The added benefit of the drowsiness is getting additional headache relief by sleeping (if I am at home). I hope and pray that the FDA's recent recommendation to withdraw it from the market is reconsidered. I would be lost without my Darvocet - I use it infrequently, and only out of necessity, but I wouldn't take any other pain prescription to stop my headache pain. Saying that acetaminophin is as effective as Darvocet is a JOKE; tylenol NEVER relieves my pain when taken alone.

Darvocet-N 100 (acetaminophen/ propoxyphene): I have been taking Darvocet for a while now. I take it for cramps, my horrible migraines, and now my horrible herniated disc which is pressing on my nerves and giving me terrible pain in my legs. I can't sleep without taking it and find it truly helpful to get me through the day. This back pain is the worst and I'm just happy I have something to help. I can't imagine having to go on without it and be in this much pain.

Review by ChrisN21:

acetaminophen/propoxyphene: Taking this has helped with the pain, but if I take the full dose I become so sleepy that its hard to stay awake. However unlike vicodin it hasn't made me sick to my stomach or "loopy".

acetaminophen/propoxyphene: I like it better than Lortab. Doesn't make me sleepy, but helps when I am asleep. Pain from a Root Canal and I tell you what, I have no pain now.

Darvocet-N 100 (acetaminophen/ propoxyphene): I have a herniated disc and a bulging disc. I've taken Darvocet for over a year. I can't take Vicodin - it makes me throw up constantly. I have no problems with the Darvocet. Some days I take none, some days up to three. I have no problem not taking it (no addiction). It does not work for my migraines. I take Midrin for those, but they are rare. I am able to function perfectly at work taking Darvocet, and if it weren't for the Darvocet, I might not be able to work full time.

Darvocet-N 100 (acetaminophen/ propoxyphene): I was prescribed Darvocet for a back injury and moderate to heavy pain in the lower back. It takes the edge off the pain with few side effects.

Darvocet-N 100 (acetaminophen/ propoxyphene): Darvocet is a good pain reliever with just enough narcotic to make it effective. But trust me, it can become addictive like anything else. I just went through withdrawal symptoms yesterday and part of today and didn't know what was going on until I looked this up on the computer and then took some to relieve the symptoms. But I believe all in all it's a safer alternative than other narcotics.

Darvocet A500 (acetaminophen/ propoxyphene): I have Anklosing spondylitis, arthritis in many joints, fibromyalgia and diabetic neuropathy. I'm taking 8 of these 500mg pills a day and it is not cutting my pain.
