Extreme overdose may lead to unconsciousness and death.

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 and avoid withdrawal. 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. Darvocet withdrawal symptoms
may very in intensity depending on the length, amount, and frequency of abuse.
Darvocet withdrawal symptoms
include but are not limited to:
- physical craving
- anxiety
- loss of appetite and
weight
- fatigue
- nausea
- diarrhea
