Darvon Abuse & Addiction Help

Darvon is a painkiller that blocks the nerve receptors in the brain from communicating pain to the body. Although Darvon can be used to successfully treat mild to moderate pain it is a highly addictive drug because of the physical and psychological effects it has on a person. When Darvon enters the brain it stimulates dopamine and serotonin receptors which are two chemicals that are believed to influence mood. The result is a relaxing or euphoric sensation for the user that they may try to recreate by taking more of the drug. Over time, the body's tolerance for pain will lower considerably and the user will need to take more Darvon to experience the same initial "high." This cycle is the reason why a Darvon addiction can be extremely dangerous.

Dangers of Darvon Addiction

Some of the most common symptoms associated with Darvon abuse or addiction are:

  • Nausea
  • Sweating
  • Agitation
  • Restlessness
  • Problems with the respiratory system and internal organs, especially the liver
  • Perception difficulties including confusion and the inability to operate a vehicle or perform a simple task

The risk of overdose increases dramatically if a patient takes too much Darvon in too short of a time frame or if it is mixed with alcohol or other substances. An overdose from a Darvon addiction can cause serious medical problems and even death. The best treatment for a Darvon addiction is a detox program that will rid your body of the drug and minimize the unpleasant withdrawal symptoms.

If you are suffering from Darvon addiction or abuse, please call 1-866-99-DETOX (1-866-993-3869) to locate treatment programs in your area. Addiction treatment professionals are available 24/7, and all calls are confidential.
