Possible Ban of Darvon is Good News for Seniors -- Even Those Who Take It!

I use darvocet from last 1 year. i am 40 year old and I pruchase it from buydarvocetonline.net pharmacy and i found no side effects yet. according to your post, this medicine has many demerits, but i didn't recognize any of it.

Just got home from ER with 89 y/o mother who has fallen twice since starting Darvocet after a fall slipping on a banana peel- I thought that only happened in the cartoons. Anyway, after the banana peel incident, her physician put her on Darvocet resulting in dizziness with one fall in bathroom with lots of bruises, and then today's fall in the refrigerator (yes, she never has been the most coordinated or lucky) with cut on the head needing 6 sutures. ER doc adamantly said to toss the Darvocet..."probably the worst choice for her age" and started low dose vicodin only at bedtime so she can sleep...all consistent with this article. I'm sending this link to her physician...if we keep him. Sometimes I feel they just make stuff up without really thinking through the problem! $%#^

I didn't know Darvon could be responsible for my mom's bouts of disorientation and dizziness until a hospice nurse told me -- I wish more people talked about this!
