Darvocet Withdrawal
Structurally Darvocet is
a relative of the synthetic narcotic, methadone. It's prescribed in two forms-
propoxyphene hydrochloride and propoxyphene napsylate -for relief of mild to
moderate pain. Given Darvocet's similarities to methadone, it's not surprising
that Darvocet is as addictive as it is. Individuals develop an addiction to
Darvocet because it produces feelings of well-being. Once an individual has developed
an addiction to Darvocet they will often get multiple prescriptions from different
doctors to support their addiction. Darvocet activates the brain’s reward
systems. The promise of reward is very intense, causing the individual to crave
more Darvocet and to focus his or her activities around taking the drug. The ability
of Darvocet to strongly activate brain reward mechanisms and its ability to chemically
alter the normal functioning of these systems is what produces an addiction
to Darvocet. Darvocet also reduce a person’s level of consciousness, harming
the ability to think or be fully aware of present surroundings.
