Darvocet Overdose: Structurally, Darvocet is a relative of the synthetic narcotic, methadone.
It is prescribed in two forms- propoxyphene hydrochloride and propoxyphene
napsylate -for relief of mild to moderate pain. Aside from slight differences-the
napsylate (or N-form) of propoxyphene is more slowly absorbed in the body
and so has a longer duration of action-the two drugs are identical. Darvocet
when abused is taken orally, chewed, crushed (then snorted like cocaine),
or crushed (then dissolved in water and injected like heroin). A Darvocet overdose happens when you consume more Darvocet than your body
can safely handle. Darvocet abusers are constantly flirting with a Darvocet
overdose, and the difference between the high they're seeking and serious
injury or death is often quite small. An extreme overdose of Darvocet may
lead to unconsciousness and death. Symptoms of a Darvocet overdose may include:
