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

Acetaminophen / propoxyphene "Darvocet has been helping me with back and fibromyalgia pain for many years. I take it sparingly and only when absolutely necessary. It has minimal side effects, and since I take it only at bedtime, I do not have drowsiness in the morning. I sleep well and have lessened pain for about 2 - 3 hours in the morning. I am lost without this help. My MD gave me Ultram, which does not help and causes dizziness in the morning. Everyone is different."

Acetaminophen / propoxyphene for Pain "Darvocet and Vicodin make me really sick and dizzy, but if I start out taking 1/2 of a Darvocet and up the dose as needed and as handled, then I can use Vicodin if the pain is that bad, and I won't get sick. Sometimes I also take a Reglan at the same time, which usually cures the nausea for me."

Acetaminophen / propoxyphene for Pain "I just got my wisdom teeth out, and I'm allergic to codeine, so the doctor gave me Darvocet. It doesn't make me sleepy, but I am dizzy and find complex problem-solving difficult. It helps ease some of the sharp pains in my jaw, but I still have a dull, throbbing pain that keeps me from sleeping. If only Vicodin didn't make me vomit."

For Pain "I recently had surgery to remove my gallbladder. I was surprised by how effective this medication is. I have taken other painkillers before, like hydrocodone, and they didn't seem to do much for me. Darvocet is really good for controlling pain. I was told to take two if needed, but one works just fine. I even felt a little dizzy from them."
