FYI for those who were on Darvon

[Guest guest]

Hello all

I was on Darvon for pain. The FDA has pulled it any form if it from the market.

This put me in a very sticky situation. I am allergic to Loratab, Vicodin,

Oxycontin, Percocet, etc. I become violently sick and praise the porcelain god.

I tried tramadol and Tylenol 3 with no results. With research on both my doc

and me we decided methadone would be worth a try. WOW!! does it really work!!

Now I know every drug acts different with each person, but if you find yourself

in the same situation I was in, here is something to talk to your doc about.

Hi Marie.....I was on darvocet but now have an appt in January with my

rheumy. when I see him, I'll ask about another comparable med for darvocet.

I do have some tramadol my pcp gave me (50mg) but only a few till I see my

rheumy.

Glad the methadone works for you. I am sure my dr will try me on

oxycodone or something else similar. glad you found something you weren't

allergic

too.

Hugs..a

Oh how I wish I could try that but I am one of the few who can't. So far I've

managed to keep my part-time job of driving a dump truck. I'm in a consortium

for drug testing. Methadone is one of the drugs that cannot be in your system

and still be legal to drive. My rheumy just took me off my Orencia infusions and

put me on Diclofenac. Think I spelled that right. It's a strong NSAID. That one

has side effects- gas, constipation, gas, diarrhea, did I mention gas? I drove

my kids out of the living room last night because of it!

Anyway, I'm so glad that you ARE able to tolerate it and that it is helping you!

Merry Christmas!
