Absolutely not within 4 hours of each other. They both are high doses of TCA's and pain relievers. when used together, they act as a major dose of tranquilizer.

I personally am prescribed darvocet for pain. and daily, amitryptaline for sleep and stress.

I accidentally took them too close together, about 2 hours apart, and had convulsions. this is not a good idea.

They can be used outside of a 4 hour period, in the same day. But if you're using amitryptaline, do not take in the day time or unless otherwise prescribed.

Can you take ambien Darvocet flexeril at the same time?

This is a bad idea. You do not want to take three sedative medicines at once. My advice from looking at the list is for you to take care of your pain. You don't NEED a tranquilizer like Ambien - that is for nights when you have tried to get to sleep on your own and not been able to. You can take the Darvocet and Flexeril together as a pain killer + muscle relaxant combination. Taking too many sedatives at once can make you pass out and even have trouble breathing.

How long after taking Tylenol should you wait before taking Darvocet?

Since Darvocet has Tylenol in it, you cannot take them within 4 hours of each other. Try alternating Darvocet with ibuprofen - take the ibuprofen every 6 to 8 hours, and if you need Darvocet, take it at least 3 hours after the ibuprofen. That way, you won't get too much Tylenol, but it will relieve your pain better.


Is Darvocet an anti inflammatory?

No Darvocet is not an anti inflammatory. It is an opioid pain medication (analgesic).


Is Darvocet an anti-inflammatory drug?

No. Darvocet is a pain relieving drug, not anti-inflammatory. Darvocet contains codeine, which is meant to relieve pain, not so much for inflammation. See if you can get some 800mg Motrin instead. Even for a pain reliever, Darvocet isn't very strong....seems to work well as a mild pain reliever for females though.


Which is stronger Darvocet or Vicodin?

vicodin... darvocet is like strong tylenol. vicodin contains hydrocodone as its active ingredient, making it a pain killer. darvocets active ingredient is naproxen which is a pain reliever.----Darvocet, while it may not be much more effective in pain relief as naproxen, is NOT the same thing. it is a synthetic opioid analgesic (propoxyphene) combined with acetaminophen (Tylenol). It is a very weak painkiller. Vicodin is a combination of the moderately strong opioid hydrocodone and acetaminophen. While Vicodin is much stronger and more effective at relieving pain than Darvocet, they are both narcotics.


Does Darvocet contribute to constipation?

Are percotocet and Darvocet the same type of narcotic?

NO! Darvocet is a much weaker narcotic pain medication mixed with Tylenol and perco-'s are a type of oxycodone mixture with either Tylenol or aspirin that is much, much stronger. They are both technically "narcotic" but darvocet doesn't give me a head change or and barely touches my pain while percocet had me flying high, feeling NO pain! On the flip side, percocet has more potential for abuse and addiction.
