Group Seeks Federal Ban on Darvocet

Darvon, Darvocet and related painkillers should be phased out and eventually banned, a watchdog group said Tuesday in a government petition that cited the accidental deaths of at least 2,110 people between 1981 and 1999.

woah.

how well do you tolerate codeine or vicodin? Not well? darvocet always felt more gentle to me, though I know others who reacted horribly to it.

What IS this with the FDA banning drugs willy-nilly? First TNH loses her narcolepsy scrip, then they pull Celebrex (sob!), and now Darvocet because in close to 20 years, slightly over 2K people died. Accidentially. What does "accidentially" mean, anyway? Were they using it recreationally? Did they accidentially sprinkle it on their Cheerios or what?

I'd like to have the ability to make a decision about which meds I can take. Is that too much to ask?
