I had a kidney stone over the summer, and the dr. gave me Propoxyphene, which is generic for Darvocet.
I am on a MAOI, Imipram, I thought you couldn take darvocet if your on a MAOI (anit-depressant).

Right now I am having really bad stomach pains, and I want to take a Darvocet, but I dont know if its ok to take one. I mean the dr. gave it to me, it SHOULD be fine, but I thought you cant take it if your on a MAIO-Imipram!

So is it ok to take one?(darvocet)?
someone plz answer this ASAP!!
thanks a lot

Charlie... Now I have no experience in this area but I just googled darvocet which brought me to an page on this site which says you should not take darvocet if you have had an maoi in the last 14 days.. Since I had no idea what an MAOI was, I googled THAT and it gave a list of common ones but Imipram was not on it.. Are you sure imipram is an maoi? Are all anti-depressants MAOIs?? I have no clue, but if it is one, I would check with your doctor before taking the darv.... Good Luck
