Darvocet
Will they be removing Darvocet off the market ? I think it is stupid to do so. If it is taken off, then another will become the drug of choice for overdosing,so on and so on. it is the acetomenphen that kills, a toxic dose is around 4 G,,It would take around 8 tablet of Darvocet with 650 mg of acetomenaphen to reach this level.

Inneffective Pain Medication
I understand Darvocet may be taken off the market because of related deaths due to overdoseage and depression leading to suicide. I can fully understand these reasons, but I think we must look further. A medication that provides little to no relief of pain, such as Darvocet, may lead to depression and suicide may be the only way to stop the pain for some individuals. I understand this, I am contemplating suicide if I cannot get relief for the pain I have due to what may be a compressed cervical nerve root. Overdosage may not be related solely to the desire for the sense of euphoria, but to the desire for pain relief. I developed pain from T-1 across my left scapula and radiating down my left arm, with severe muscle spasms - at times it looks like someone stluffed an egg under my skin. I am a home health nurse and work from my car, the pain is particularly excruciating when I am driving, bending over, sitting or doing anything at all - there is no relief and Darvocet, which has been prescribed to me to be taken 1 every 12 hours is a joke, to say the least. I am starting to feel as though I may have to take to the streets to find medication that will provide me with pain relief - I never thought as an RN I would have these thoughts. Darvocet should be banned and physicians need to stop writing prescriptions for this useless medication. If a physician does not want to treat a patient for pain then he/she should refer the patient to another doctor or pain management center. I have written to the FDA and provided them with my thoughts. I hope to see this drug banned very soon. Isabelle, R.N.
