In reply to Concurrent use of Darvocet-N with Tegretol, etc., posted by KimberlyDi on March 25, 2004, at 11:36:09
> Along these lines of thought... increasing or decreasing effectiveness... I went to the emergency clinic for a deep cut on my foot over the weekend. Without asking what medications I was currently taking, they prescribed me Darvocet-N 100mg for the pain. I am on generic Tegretol 200mg x 2, Imipramine 100mg x 1, and Trazadone 100mg x 1. I don't know if I can believe everything that I read on the internet, but is this combination really that bad? I've cut out my meds until my foot is better but I'm feeling the loss of my meds and would rather take them.

> Thanks, Kim
>Darvocet contains Propoxyphene. Imipramine + Propoxyphene = the possibility of serotonin syndrome. Can you get your doc to give you something that isn't a serotonin reuptake inhibitor? Oxycodone would be good, Percocet or Percodan.
