I was on Darvocet when this came out.  I asked my doctor if there was a

darvocet

without the tylenol.  He said it was Darvon and started giving me that.  If

you

do not want the tylenol in vicodin then ask your doctor if there is a pill

without the tyenol but has the other drug in vicodin.  We all take enough drugs

that kick the heck out of our liver already.  We all dont need one more.
