Rediscovering Life without Darvocet
Darvocet is a brand name for an analgesic opioid that consists of a combination of dextropropoxyphene and acetaminophen (aspirin). It was prescribed as a mild pain reliever and local anesthetic but has been taken off the market by the FDA due to concerns about fatal overdoses and heart arrhythmias.
Side Effects of Darvocet Use
Darvocet can be a very dangerous drug and can cause side effects such as the following:
- Constipation
- Itching
- Drowsiness
- Sore throat
- Impaired alertness
- Confusion
- Serious or fatal heart rhythms
Dangers of Long-Term Darvocet Use
Prolonged drug use can negatively affect many aspects of your life. Beyond the physical and psychological toll, drug addiction can lead to financial struggles, due to a willingness to place access to the drug above financial obligations. It can also cause major strains within your relationships. Wives, husbands or significant others may decide they are better off without you. Family members and friends may try to distance themselves from you and your addiction. Often these scenarios only serve to strengthen the vicious cycle of the abuse.
Professionals Can Help with Your Darvocet Addiction
The best thing you can do for an addiction is to seek professional help from a treatment center. Professionals at a treatment center will be able to tailor a recovery program to your specific needs. A rehab center should offer much more than simply a physical detox. They should also offer individual and group therapy and be able to address any underlying issues that may have led to the addiction in the first place. They should also offer an ongoing program of aftercare to lessen any chance of relapse.
Life without Darvocet
Addiction can take over your life and cause you to rearrange all of your priorities and miss out on so much. Beginning a rehab program can be the first step toward breaking that addiction and beginning to get your life back. Getting clean will allow you a chance to start over.
