on darvon, or darvacet.
it's an oral pain reliever.

FYI:

"gov't medical advisers friday recommended a ban on Darvon, a prescription medicine that's been used to treat pain for more than 50 yrs but left a trail of problems such as addiction and suicide."

"an FDA advisory panel voted 14-12 to recommend withdrawing Darvon after a daylong hearing examing its risks and benefits. the FDA is not required to follow the recommendations of its advisers, but often does so."

"Darvon was first approved in 1957 when there were few alternatives for treating pain except aspirin and powerful narcotics. now mainly marketed as Darvocet, which includes a dose of acetaminophen, the drug remains one of the top 25 most commonly prescribed medications."

i just read this in my newspaper today and wanted to pass it on.
of course always check with your dr when it comes to something like this.
don't stop medication on your own.
