First my antibiotic is in short supply, so they change my drug. Now they want my painkiller. IIIIIIIEEEEEE! Cthulhu comes!

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.

I want credit for the fifty or so high school students I didn't go postal on while taking this drug applied against the people who died while using it incorrectly.

That's only fair.

You have a very good point, but not sure they'll go for it. Perhaps we could run the numbers of how much income we make and money we spend back into the system versus our being on SS disability. That's going to be part of the letter I'm about to write my Governor, Senator, etc. about hounding Lyme Literate medical personnel out of the state.

I need to go double-check what my Ex's disability would be--as I understand it, if you were married longer than 10 years, you have the right to choose the highest of the two for yourself (or half the higher income, can't remember which...)

Just tried to renue my perscription for Darvon and was told it is now unavalable

Darvocet is avalable only by special order in bottles containing a hundred pills. Cost wil be about $100.

It's just not fair.

I can't get my cough syrup, I can't get my painkillers.

I'm not a junkie, I'm just a person with occasional serious pain and occasional serious cough (it took me four years to go through my last bottle of codein cough syrup and six years to go through my last bottle of Darvon).

I'm hoping that as the boomers age, people will realize that drugs are not the enemy.

Crap. I'm just gonna have to go to Mexico.

Canada is good, too. I just renewed a generic of Darvocet-N . . .Propoxy-N/apap 100-650. Will it work for you? Costco filled it.

I sure hope I don't have to go to a pain management clinic just to get the meds my specialist usually gives me. High deductible insurance, me.

I'm typing without my left index finger today--thank you for Celebrex and Darvocet-N! And the freedom to take double Celebrex for one dose, when needed badly . . ..

I've got the propoxy. It works OK, but not as well as the original. :(

Normal people can't be trusted with drugs, money or politics in this country.

It does feel that way sometimes.... Thank heavens for books and cats. They both help.
