   What are the side effects, dangers, etc. of Darvocet -100? I suffer from sinus
   headaches and my doc always gives me Darvocets. I’ve been taking them for some
   time. Probably 20 a month. They work much better than regular Tylenol, Advil, e
   tc.
   

   I’ve tried looking up some info (at library, Physicians ref, etc.) without much
    success. Does anyone (reading this) have any first-hand knowledge, research,
   etc.

   It was mainly introduced as an alternative to the opiates because it
   supposedly doesn’t have as much abuse potential.  But Darvocet has never
   been proven any more effective against pain that Tylenol or Aspirin
   alone!  As for abuse, it’s a widely abused drug whose "therapeutic" level
   is very close to the toxic level (especially with alcohol) and accounts
   for lots of emergency-room visits.  Taken as directed, though, it’s
   neither particularly effective nor particularly dangerous. If it works
   for you, great!
