Darvocets: do they really suck that bad?

I just bought a good bit from my friend from really cheap, and I did some searching and everyone here says they're worthless. However, the other day I took three of them plus a 50mg Demeral, and I felt damn good. I remember a long time ago I took 4 at school and I got really fucked up. So is everybody over exaggerating or does my body actually like Darvocets?
 
Yes..they suck. However I will say when I first had them at 17 and was opiate naive, they gave me a well being buzz. They went very well with cigarettes. the buzz was very very mild. I wouldn't even touch them today for any reason.
 
most people here and IRL will say they are trash, but they say the same thing about tramadol and i fucking love tramadol. so maybe darvocets just like you better than most.
or maybe its because you havent tried any other opiates and have nothing to compare them to, but i cant speak for that.

I've done lots of opiates, including heroin, but not that often so my tolerance isn't too high. For me darvocets make me feel veeeery warm, but feel dirtier than most.
 
tramadol actually has something that will bind to the mu1 receptor; darvocet doesn't.
 
i remember i got some after a "minor surgery" & they gave me those... i was stupid and took like 5 at once, they fucked me up alright but not in a good way. my vision was distorted, couldn't walk straight, not much fun.
 
yes they sucked and i almost killed myself by consuming 20 13000 mgs of apap in one day
 
Darvocet gets a bad rap, but it is a genuine opioid. About 3/4 the potency of codeine in my experience. If you're opioid-naive or have abstained for awhile, you'll definitely catch a mild but pleasant buzz.
 
Dude that shit is terrible. Do not attempt to get fucked up on it. You would OD or get posiend or suffer bad side effects before you felt euphoria. It is worse than tramadol.
 
Darv's blow. I can get them all day long and wont even touch them when Im WDn. Thoese things must be made with the hair from the devils ass or something.
They just dont do anything good.
 
"Darvocets: do they really suck that bad?" - Yes.

Yes, they do, they really suck that bad and even worse, they will NOT alleviate real pain, and THEN if you're at all sensitive to massive assaults of acetominophen upon your stomach & liver, you'll even get a bonus bullshit effect - major fuckin' nausea, and a thick, ugly overall body malaise feeling which will dog you throughout the 2-4 hours that crap remains coursing through your system. Utter horseshit, that drug. I'd love, love a private word or two with the crackie chimpanzees who decided to put this farce of a medical product out here. And I'll (imaginarily) punch any smarmy shitheel doctor in his beady little eye-hole if he or she EVer tries to shuff off a Darvocet script to me, when I'm in severe pain.

FUCK Darvocet! Seriously, Advil and/or even Aspirin Back & Body (no tylenol in it, shitloads of caffeine & aspirin) are far superior drugs, Darvocet shouldn't even be on the damn market, never mind a controlled drug. It's fucking worthless shite. I loathe Darvocet. If you want both to cure your pain and feel wonderfully fuzzy, steer clear of propoxyphene and keep the side-eye on the milligrams-levels of acetaminophen in any pill you pop.

In lieu of pussy-ass useless Darvocet, I'd personally rec. Percodan, Oxycontin, Lortab or Vicoprofen, and a little at a time will do the trick with these genuine, no-bullshit old-school opiates so don't go berzerk off the bat. But Darvocets, you cannot take more than 4 at a time without suffering major sickie nausea allllll damn day afterward, and you will still NOT get a buzz, or if you do it'll be completely drowned out by the nagging nausea from 2,400+ Mgs of poisonous Tylenol slugging through your exhausted liver.

Anyway...

Baby, I've done LOTS, and lots of opiates, as well, including heroin, and Darvocet has always been the #1 worst, WOrst controlled pain "reliever" (enhancer) I've ever taken. I really hate snorting Mexi Black Tar heroin and dealing with the miasma of assorted baloney that goes along with this messy drug, but I'll take heroin AND post-heroin-use dopesickness over fucking around with Darvocet, any day. Or, I'd just throw the both choices out and go forage up some Oxy's. Fuck all that other noise...
 
yes they blow hard. i found they helped to relieve some mild wd symptoms when iw as doing ocs but that was about it.

If darvocet doesn't bind to the mu receptor, then why do docs script it? That means if sucks for pain. Is it a K-opoid agonist?

According to this article, dextropropoxythene is an opioid agonist as well as a 'weak, non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist'.\

ETA: And this source, apparently the world's 'definitive, encyclopedic reference on headache', says that dextropropoxythene is a mu-opioid receptor agonist; so I'm guessing Ham means that it binds to the μ2 receptor.
 
Darvocet has 0 recreational value as far as I'm concerned. It also sucks ass for pain. At least tramadol can be used for recreation and/or pain if your tolerance is low enough.

The only thing I can think of using darvocet for is helping opiate withdrawals but I suspect it would be crap at that too, not much better than loperamide or something.
 
They are only recreational if you have pretty much zero tolerance to opiates. I've never experienced some of the horror stories I've read though, for me they just don't do much of anything at all. Maybe relieve some pain or headache I'm having.

There's a reason it's prescribed, because some people can't handle real pills.

they worked for me when i had no tolerance. i had to take a large dose, though. any higher and it would have been dangerous. i def noticed the respiratory depression. also, they are kidney (or liver? i forget which one) toxic

400mg was the dose iirc, and that would normally be considered dangerous itself..
 
The acetaminophen it is combined with can be toxic to the liver. Dextropropoxythene itself can cause CNS depression, cardioid problems, pulmonary edema and seizures.
