Structurally Darvocet is a relative of the synthetic narcotic, methadone. It’s prescribed in two forms; propoxyphene hydrochloride and propoxyphene napsylate, for relief of mild to moderate pain. Given Darvocet’s similarities to methadone, it’s not surprising that Darvocet is just as addictive. Individuals develop an addiction to Darvocet because it produces feelings of well-being. Once an individual has developed an addiction to Darvocet they will often get multiple prescriptions from different doctors to support their addiction. Darvocet activates the brain’s reward systems. The promise of reward is very intense, causing the individual to crave more Darvocet and to focus his or her activities around taking the drug.
