Darvocet-Addiction-Abuse
The primary effect of Darvocet is pain relief, and individuals typically begin taking it for this purpose.
Darvocet does not produce the euphoric high like some stimulants do nor does it provide an intensely pleasurable, relaxing sensation like depressants do.
However, it may cause mild relaxation which contributes to its appeal.
What are the effects of Darvocet addiction and abuse?
Darvocet can be habit forming, and taking Darvocet in larger than the prescribed doses or more frequently than prescribed over a longer period of time than the doctor has prescribed may lead to dependence and eventually addiction.
People dealing with Darvocet abuse usually take it orally, chew it, crush it to a powder and snort it like cocaine or even dissolve a crushed tablet in water and inject the solution.
It is easy for people in the process of Darvocet abuse to indulge in an overdose of the drug.
What are the side effects of Darvocet?
Side effects of Darvocet include dizziness, light-headedness, drowsiness, upset stomach, vomiting, constipation, rash, difficulty urinating, difficulty breathing and mood changes.
What are the withdrawal symptoms of Darvocet?
