Darvon--is it just me.......

...or does everyone find this stuff to be about as weak as aspirin?

Also, because I'm allergic to OTC analgesics, I'm wondering about Canadian Hycodan (just contains hydrocodone). Could a U.S. doctor write a prescription for this stuff that I could get filled at an online Canadian pharmacy?

Yep... it sucks. Propoxyphene is actually a less effective analgesic than asprin.

Most of the online Canadian pharmacies I've seen won't sell any opiates, benzos, etc., even with a prescription -- i.e., anything they think has any chance of being abused. I'm not sure if this is a liability issue, or has more to do with U.S. import laws. There could be exceptions though; I haven't researched this thoroughly.

Hydrocodone with no other ingredients is a schedule II drug, same as oxycontin, whereas mixed with tylenol (vicodin, lortab, etc.) it is only schedule III. You can get it in the US if a doctor will prescribe it for you. To be filled, you must go to a 'compounding' pharmacy. They can measure out the drug and put it in capsules.

Yeah,I hate Darvon. Barely does anything for pain.

Codeine on the other hand works great for me. Go figure!
