On November 19, 2010, the FDA announced a Darvocet recall, saying that the relatively weak painkiller’s health risks outweighed its limited benefits. The recall came after the FDA determined that side effects of Darvocet were linked to irregular heart rhythms which could sometimes be fatal.

DARVOCET LAWSUIT STATUS: Darvoncet lawyers are reviewing potential claims for individuals throughout the United States who may be entitled to compensation through a Darvocet lawsuit for injuries such as:

  • Heart Arrythmia
  • Heart Attack
  • Suicide
  • Overdose
  • Death

OVERVIEW: Darvocet (generic: propoxyphene with acetaminophen) is a weak, yet addictive, narcotic painkiller that is often prescribed after surgery or to manage pain. It contains a combination of acetaminophen, which is the active ingredient in Tylenol, and propoxyphene, which is the active ingredient in Darvon.

DARVOCET RECALL: Darvocet side effects have been linked to thousands of deaths and other serious injuries. According to data from the Federal Drug Abuse Warning Network, deaths linked to the Darvocet, Darvon and generic propoxyphene drugs accounted for over 5% of all drug related deaths between 1987 and 2006.

Although an FDA advisory committee voted to recall Darvocet in early 2009, the FDA did not move to pull the drug until November 2010, when the agency identified the risk of Darvocet heart arrythmias. The FDA then determined that the risk of heart problems from Darvocet, combined with the drug’s ties to suicide, drug addiction and potential overdose, were the final straw in deciding that the drug’s risks outweighed its benefits.

In Great Britain, health authorities required Darvocet to be phased off of the market in 2005. They cited hundreds of deaths associated with the drug, and limited benefits provided when compared to other available pain medications.

The FDA said that the first calls for Darvocet to be recalled went all the way back to 1978. In Feburary 2006, the consumer watchdog group Public Citizen filed a petition with the FDA urging the U.S. drug regulators to recall Darvocet from the market. They cited thousands of deaths from Darvocet since 1981, the fact that it is highly addictive and that it is no more effective than safer drugs like ibuprofen and acetaminophen.

According to Public Citizen, most of the Darvocet deaths occurred because of cardiac depression caused by the drug converting into a metabolite that is highly toxic to the heart. Side effects of Darvocet include interruption of heart transmission of electrical impulses, slowing heartbeats and decreasing ability for the heart to contract properly.

FIND OUT IF YOU MAY HAVE A DARVOCET LAWSUIT: Free consultations and claim evaluations are provided by lawyers who are reviewing potential Darvocet lawsuits and Darvon lawsuits throughout the United States. As a result of the drug makers’ failure to adequately warn about the risk of problems with Darvocet and Darvon, individuals may be entitled to financial compensation through a Darvon settlement.

I want to know how much was the settlement that was settled in Kentucky districts. My attorneys has been lieing to me. I found out it was a settlement in 2016 by judge of Kentucky districts. They didn’t tell me anything. I guess they were planning to keep my money. Does anyone knows. If so let me know. Thank you

I started taking them in 1984 arm pain in neck surgery I had my arm ripped off buy a hayBaylor and have been taking them since 1981 actually when They pulled them off the market I’ve had bleeding stomach pains the heart problemslost my small intestine anal bleeding you name it depression it’s sad that our government can do such things and we can do nothing about it I’ve been out a lot of money over it I stoped taking the Darvocet and the bleeding stopped my kidneys are messed up really bad over the damn pills and they say they’re not responsible then who is

I am sick,and have been for 20 lousy years. I have atrial fibrillation,I have a implanted defibrillator, I take lots of meds. I am on a paltry disability of 720 a month+or-. I have been sick since I was 30 years old;life has passed me by. Never in those 20 years was I able to do the activities everyone else enjoyed. I have lived in fear of death,and hospitalization, my life is a sad depressed hell, [Hell no do I want their poisonous anti-depressants]. I was happy ,and healthy until I took darvocett. I could not prove it ,but I knew back when all the hell started that it was related to darvocet,but the doctors ‘poo-pooed’ that. Now all these years later they know the truth! But guess what? The original hospital records have all been discarded, the pharmacy records are gone,yes everything. You know they know if you had a damn parking ticket in 1958, but they do not keep your medical rcords! So no atty. Wants my case,and I cannot blame them! All I hope is that the filthy sociopaths at eli lilly and zanodine,go to jail then hell where thieves ,and murderers belong!

Does anyone know what the latest update is on the darvocet litigation requirements. Is it all going to be class action. Have there been any settlements. I had a pacemaker installed at 45 due to Darvocet also have multifocal pvc’s and three leaky heard valves. My attorney have not updated me on anything.
gary

I have a new health problem to add to a long list and it’s a resting heart rate of 44. Stress test and sonogram to follow. Just like many of you I’ve head electrical impulses in the heart, panic attacks, numbness, digestive issues yet undetermined that seem to involve blockages. And most recently severe heart pain that spread down left arm, up the neck and down left side of torso and lasted 7-10 minutes. I didn’t go to the ER because I wrote it off as fibromyalgia symptoms. Those of you that have incurred heart damage- I’d bet a million bucks you have a MTHFR gene mutation that renders you unable to produce glutathione to detox. I do and it has wreaked havoc on my tiny body in 42 yrs. Anyway this is why there are people that have no problems with the drug but others like those with the MTHFR gene defect don’t detox so it is building up in your system. 40% of the population has this defect. It isn’t uncommon at all but because it was only discovered in 2002 many Dr’s know nothing about it yet. There is supplementation that can help you detox and battle addiction and depression. It’s a simple blood test. If you have it your children likely do and knowing can change the course of their health for a better life than ours. mthfr.net is the best source to start learning. Good luck.

My Mother took DARVOCET for yrs. On the morning of July 10th 2007 she had a massive heart attack & Died. I believe Darvocet played a HUGE PART in her Death !!! I also believe the FDA should make these Companies do Much More Testing before releasing Meds. & othe divices use by Doctors and prescribed or used in Surgery !! Why isn’t the FDA held accountable as well ?!

FIRST OFF IM SORRY TO THE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ARE MAD THAT THEY TOOK DARVACET OFF THE MARKET AND I KNOW THAT YOUR DOCTORS CAN FIND YOU ANOTHER MED. MY MOTHER OF 60 WENT IN FOR DOUBLE KNEE REPLACEMENT ON NOV. 3, 2010 AND DIED NOV. 6, 2010. NOT DUE TO A BLOOD CLOT OR ANYTHING DUE TO THE SURGERY. IT WAS THE DARVACET AND I KNOW IT BECAUSE AFTER AN EXHAUSTING 6 MONTHS OF WAITING ON THE AUTOPSY THE DEATH CERTIFICATE STATES THAT HER CAUSE OF DEATH WAS ‘FATAL ARRYTHMEA’ . SHE SUDDENLY LEFT BEHIND 3 CHILDREN AND 9 GRANDCHILDREN. ALL SHE COULD TELL ME AFTER HER SURGERY WAS THAT SHE WAS READY FOR ME TO TAKE HER BACK SHOPPING TO THE FLEA MARKETS FOR THE BARGAINS. I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT AND WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO. SO TO ALL YALL BELLY ACHING PEOPLE THATS WANTS IT BACK THEY SHOULD GIVE IT TO YOU AND WHATEVER HAPPENS TO YOU HAPPENS. MY MOTHER DIDN’T HAVE THE CHANCE THEY TOOK IT OFF THE THE MARKET THE SAME MONTH SHE DIED. SHE JUST WANTED TO STOP HURTING AND BIT THE BULLET TO DO THE DOUBLE KNEE REPLACEMENT HALF SCARED OUT OF HER MIND JUST TO FEEL GOOD AGAIN AND TO LIVE LIFE TO HER FULLEST. I DONT WANT YOUR SYMPOTHY, I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT THE DRUG ‘DARVACET’ KILLED MY LOVING MOTHER. OUR LAST MEMORIES OF HER THAT STICKS IN MY HEAD EXCEPT FROM THE FUNERAL, WAS TALKING TO HER FRIDAY NIGHT PLANNING ON SEEING HER SATURDAY AND THEN GETTING THE PHONE CALL AND WALKING IN THE ROOM AND SEEING MY MOTHER DEAD IN THE HOSPIAL BED. THATS WHAT I THINK ABOUT EVERY FREAKING NIGHT!!!!!!!!! AND ITS COMING UP ON A YEAR. DAM DARVACET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Linda
Why would the Supreme Court rule that FDA wouln’t be responsible for the generic DARVOCET/PROPOXYPHENE??It doesn’t matter who made it nor if it is name brand or generic.If the company approved by FDA isn’t responsible THEN THE PHARMIST,DRUGSTORE,AND PHYSICIANS SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. Thats like the oil spill in the Gulf!! All the sleeping! All the Chestpains! All the High Blood Pressure Problems better yet CHRONIC HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE! All the Kidney Problems, trying to FILTER THIS POISON FROM YOUR BODY! All the time spent in doctor’s offices, E.R.s, and hospitals! and Emotional and Mental Stress put on each INDIVIDUAL’S FAMILY! And on EACH INDIVIDUAL! Now we get into the PERMANENT HEALTH PROBLEMS!!!! FDA and SUPREME COURT do you think these LAWSUIT and SETTLEMENTS you are QUESTIONING IS FAIR AND JUSTIFIABLE! SUPREME COURT YOU NEVER RULED FOR FDA or THE PHARMACEUTICALS NEVER TO COLLECT PAY or to REDUCE THEIR PAY SCALE!! How do you think we feel knowing YOU WERE PUT IN PLACE TO UPHOLD THE LAW OF THE LAND AND CREED OF JUSTICE ON OUR BEHALF!! All the OATHS TAKEN! And the SEAL FOR JUSTICE STATING JUSTICE WOULD BE FOUND NO MATTER WHERE OR HOW DEEP IT MAY HIDE!!

My hubby was given Darvocet for almost 4 years and 5 operations he could not handle the pain and it seem to work for him. but in being of 2007 he started complaining of side and chest pains… the on july 23 of 2007 out of the blue he killed himself…. I feel that Darvocet had a lot to do with it… cause he depended on the pills too much….

I injured my spine over a year ago and was prescribed Darvocet. I took this prescription from 04/2010 up until my surery (ALIF at L5-S1 level) on 09/2010. I began to experience very bad chest pains as if my heart was about to just pop!!!! I was rushed to the emergency room on two occasions, but was told I had hypertension (high blood pressure). On the last visit to the ER, I was at my local cvs and told the pharmacist I was having chest pains, He sat me at the BP machine and took my reading twice, my BP was 199/109 and he told my wife to rush me to the ER. once there I was rushed to the back, given a EKG and asked to lay down while a doctor read the results. An hour went by and no doctor had read the results so my wife asked what was going on, the ER staff informed us that my file had been misplaced some how and they could not track it down. I informed them that I was leaving, so I went home, still hurting. I informed my surgeon/treating physician of my problems and asked for a referel to a physician whom could treat it. I was told my injury/surgery has nothing to do with my hypertension and I was only borderline/pre-hypertension, but my chart on that visit showed a reading of 170/108.I began monitoring it myself at home and would see days where I would reach readings of 201/120. I also informed my physical therapist of my chest pains during exercises and he began monitoring it himself as well. He informed me on every visit that I needed this issue addressed ASAP. I have never had prior issues with my BP prior to taking this medication. I have taken well over 9 DOT physicals in the last four years due to my occupation (Truck Driver) and never had a reading over 132/88 with documentation to back it

I took only a short term of Darvocet, but it could have had a lfe ended in just a matter of minutes. It only took my heart and caused the electrical impulse within my heart to backfire. Which there could be long term effects from it.
Ricky
I took davorcet for pain at age 35 years old for a very short moment, and had a deadly Heart attack. I almost died from taking this prescribed drug. They had to fly me to a bigger hospital that had a cardiology crtical care unit in order to save my life. I almost didn’t get the chance to be with the ones I love so dearly . Darvorcet is no joke it is very Dangerous at normal dosage and can be deadly.
Catie
I was prescribed Darvecet for almost two years, between two knee surgeries. During the second knee surgery, I was told my heart had stopped a few times. When I woke up, I was on oxygen and had a heart monitor on me. The nurse told me that I should see a cardiologist because of what happend. My surgeon was very upset because of the potential complications a heart problem was during surgery and him not knowing it. I never got addicted or dependent on Darvecet, as I stopped taking them as soon as most of the pain went away and my knee healed, but now my heart skips and flutters often. I also get chest pain and dizzyness with off and on high blood pressure. I am a healthy woman with a history of low blood pressure and am very active and fit. Now I wonder if Darvecet has affected my heart to where I might die before my time.

For all those people who are mad that they took darvocet off the market….admit it, you are addicted!
Bob
I was taking darvocet for headaches in 2003. I had a heart attack at 43 years old while walking in the woods. I have yet to have another one since. I always thought the meds had something to do with it. So I stopped taking them. I am now convinced this drug contibuted to it. Once you have a heart attach its a tough road finding jobs and getting insurance. Makes you mad when companies continue to sell a product with these side effects.
rufus
I HAVE BEEN ON DARVOCET AND GENERICS FOR 20+ YEARS.I HAVE A HEART BEAT PROBLEM AS IT SKIPS THE 2ND OR 3RD BEAT..AS I GET OLDER MY CHEST PAINS INCREASES..WITH VERY LITTLE EXERTION MY CHEST PAINS INCREASE AND MY SHORTNESS OF BREATH INCREASES.MY HEART HAS BEEN CHECKED MANY TIMES WITH RESULTS OF NO TROUBLE FOUND.
charlene
I was taking darvocet off and on for the past 10 years never assocaited that taking them could have been the cause of my depression and suicide attempts go figure and afte all this time the FDA decides that now they want a recall
LINDA
have been on darvocet for at least 15 yrs without increasing my daily intake. i do not want to overdose myself. it helps, does not completely eliminate, the pain. no heart problems. am trying to switch to tramadol and cannot sleep. the darvocet has a different way of helping me sleep. i am very upset that they would just remove it and leave us hanging. i could switch to a deadly drug like vicodin but don’t want to. may be forced to do so. i think there should be a lawsuit to sue those demanding its removal to pay us for suffering in the transition which might be a long transition. anyone else want to get in on a class action to return darvocet to production? is there an attorney out there who wants to create a class action to product those of us suffering with a transition?
Linda
I was prescribed Darvocet after fracturing a vertibre in my back I took it for several years and then felt I was becoming dependent on it. Spoke with Dr. at time and he advied if I’m in pain take it, and renewed my script I myself took the script and weined myself off of them and never went back to the Dr. I’ve been living with a steady pain but yet I feel more attentive in life. Now I’ve been diagnosed with depression I feel like I’m so fragile and I’m only 52 The Drs. say I’m so out of wack.
sandra
Have taken darvocet about the past three years until dec 2010. April last year i was told i had arthyim. Have not had to receive treatment yet but i can tell it is getting worse. Darvocet could have caused this condition.
Wallace
I was prescribed davocet on november 11 2010 there was a recall on november 19 2010 my doctor prescribed 60 pills to be taken 1 to 2 a day for pain as needed so thats a thirty to fourty five maybe sixty days worth so why did’nt he contact me of the recall it caused me a lot of things I was not shure of an I was on public assistance so I thuoght I had to just deal with it I feel as though he put my life in seriuos danger because I kept having thoughts of suicide if it was’nt for my girlfriend I don’t know whta I would have done?
Sharon
I took darvaset for pain and still have some in my medicine bottlr. I had a stroke and wonder if its from.that.please contact me thanks
Theresa
In October of 2008 I had a severe blood clot in my femoral artery. I was 28 years old. I had been on darvocet since the age of 15, for numerous things……..Could this medicine have possible cause the blood clot? My vascular surgeon said that it was non-pro vocable blood clot, meaning that no matter what I did could have caused it. Has anyone ever heard of this medication causing blood clots?
Julie
My brother passed away on October 17, 2009. Results of his autoposy point to side effects from the use of Darvacet. He had an accident a year prior which resulted in back and knee injuries and was taking Darvacet for pain management. He was 39 years old. I wish they would have pulled it sooner.
Gina
I have suffered with migraines for the past 18 years. As treatment I was placed on Darvocet every 4-6 hours at the onset of the aura. I am still suffering with migraines but now I have irregular heart beat that I was treated for within the first year of taking Darvocet. I was told that my body could be sensitive to the pain medicine. Today these 9-10 years I have been on other pain medication, I have not had any reaction to the medication. The Darvocet after the time I used the medication caused me to seek the recommendation from a cardiologist and at that time I was placed on Metformin for the heart palpitations and the increasing issue I had with high blood pressure. As to date, I get extremely short of breathe, when my heart rate becomes irregular and the palpitations are just scary. I have been hospitalized for migraines and high blood pressure. I have experienced several bouts with bronchitis and severe asthma. Never has the link been made that Darvocet could have brought on the heart, breathing and blood pressure issues that has changed my life. I am 45 years old and NEVER dreamed that I would not be able to physically work at this point in my life! I have filed disability and was denied. I simply do not know what I will do financially at this stage in my life and to think it could have been eliminated by a prescription. How sad ! I feel that medication is distributed to the public long before the appropriate testing has cleared all the dangerous side effects. Any , I truly mean any help that I can receive financially, would be a blessing. Thank you .Please contact me should you need additional information.

I was an avid excersise person, 5’3 129 lbs no heart attack family history or any other medical problems. On 9-27-08 I not only suffered a haert attack but the surgeon cut an artery. I will never be the same person again. Due to extensive blood loss and the Doctor trying to locate where the blood was coming from, I cna not longer remmember things in my past. I also have short term memory loss. I have pain at the site where the clips hold my artery together. And yes I had been taking davacet for over 8 yrs for fibromyalgia.

I have been taking Darvocet for almost 5 yrs for Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis. In that time I have had several attacks where I become dizzy, severe pain in my chest (to the point of calling 911), shortness of breath, and major depression. My Liver and Spleen are in really bad shape, my liver enzymes are high and my spleen swells to the point I look 6 months pregnant. About 4 years ago I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I have a record a mile long from the doctors office of all the things that has happened in this period of time. I am seeing someone for the depression and my doctor for everything else. About a month and a half ago I had a mini stroke that really scared me. I am 52 years old and my quality of life has become the search for quantity of life. Is it all related to the drug darvocet? It is really sad, I have 3 grown children and 6 grandbabies that I can’t enjoy like I would like to, due to the dizzy spells and the pain that I am in daily. But most of all I don’t ever know when I am going to have a spell of chest pain, dizziness, stroke or just being so depressed I don’t want to get up! I went to the doctor and he gave me another script for the generic of darvocet, I went to have it filled the next day and the pharmacy wouldn’t fill it because it was taken off of the market. HOW in only a day did my doctor not know of this? I don’t want a stronger medicine to get addicted to. Darvocet helped take the edge off, but the fact of the whole matter is, I have had all of the side effects that they are stating since I have been taking this drug and yet my doctor did not take me off of them, but at the same time would not give me anything else for pain so I wouldn’t become addicted. Now I have to live the rest of my life this way. Life is to short. Good Luck to everyone who is in the same situation as I am.

I HAVE BEEN TAKEING DARVOCET- 100 TAB FOR A WHILE AND HAVE BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL AND ALMOST DIED TWO TIMES
Terri
My mother took Davacet for many years for her arthritis. She was admitted to the hospital for surgery on her hands and died of heart failure in 1994.
Barbara
I have been taking Darvocet (Proxyphene) for years. At times when my pain is greater, I will take 3 or 4 a day. When it is less (most of the time), I can get by with 1 or 2. There is no withdrawal. I am 70 years old and naturally have other probems. However, I don’t attribute them all to Darvocet. I smoked for over 50 years and have COPD and emphazema. This is not due to Darvocet but to my smoking. I don’t want to take anything stronger or more addictive. I wish I could buy Darvocet somewhere else. I do know the risks, but sometimes quality of life is more important.
paulette

I was rear-ended by a hit and run drunk driver in Sep 2009. Doctor prescribed proxyphene which I took until Oct 31, 2010. 3 days later I was in the emergency w/afib. This happened 3 different times. Up until then I had never had any heart problems nor do I have a family history of heart problems. I am now looking at having an ablation and a pacemaker. My heart if healthy – just have rapid heart beats that make me pass out, dizziness, no energy, chest pains, sweating.

On my post above I mentioned something if you think Darvon n Darvocet is a good pain med to look up Darvon/Darvocet..Then go down to “Without Darvon/Darvocet WHATS A PAIN SUFFER TO DO” its very interesting..
L
THIS IS GETTING SO LAUGHABLE. EVERYONE THAT HAS TOOK A DARVOCET OR JUST SEEN ONE IS REMEMBERING PAINS ALL OVER THEIR BODY. THEY SMELL MONEY. ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN SO FORGET IT. YOU GOT TO HAVE PROUF FROM AN HONEST DOCTOR. AND FOR THE PHARMASIST YOU KNOW DARVOCET IS A GOOD SAFE MEDICINE. I THINK YOU DO..ALL OF YOU THAT WANT THEM TO PUT IT BACK ON THE MARKET,GOOGLE DARVON/DARVOCET AND LOOK FOR ,WITHOUT PAIN MEDICINE WHATS A PERSON TO DO,.THAT MAY NOT BE THE RIGHT WORDS BUT ITS LIKE THAT.ITS IN THE WALL STREET JOURNAL READ IT ,ITS VERY INTERESTING.

With all the recalls I should have been dead a long time ago. Darvocet is a safe pain med..It is not strong like the FDA wants our doctors to put us on now..Many people including me have been taking it for a long time with no side effects. I have tried so many meds but darvocet has always helped me till some people that don’t really know about it took it off the market in one day. I have read some of the comments and people are saying wow I had chect pain last night and I took a darvocet last week.Or other stuff like that. Some people may have already had heart problems before they took any darvocet or darvon.What people don’t understand is that a class action law suit is that the attorneys get most of the money.The ones that file for it only get a little bit. They have to have proof.And they have to wait a long time to get anything if they get anything at all..I have read about this. So don’t get your hopes up that you are gonna get rich. Ive always been told you dont get something for nothing. If it was proven that you did have a heart problem from darvocet thats different. But you have to have honest doctors that have proof.You have to go through alot.Im my experence with darvocet it is a good safe drug. Why did the united states wait till the UK took it off to take it off here. Why did the attorneys know about it before the doctors and the patients know about it.The UK fased it out over 2 years but the US took it off in one day.Now thousands of people are back in BAD PAIN. I know the med my dr gave me is awful. It put me out of it and made me sick. Darvocet never did that. It was not strong and so addictive.Something is not right ! ! ! .It looks to me like the FDA and the attorneys are working togather.Darvocet has been on the market since 1957..Just how many people have died from an overdose from strong meds like vicoden.ect…

My husband was healthy and very active rarely sick he NEVER had high blood pressure or NEVER had high cholesterol, and NEVER over weight so to develope heart problems was a shock to us. Here’s what happened back in Oct 08 he was put on Cymbalta and generic Darvoset (4 times per day) for Fibromyglia by Christmas he had lost 30 pounds that he didnt need to lose. Had a complete physical liver function was elevated but nothing else Doctor unconcerned over weight loss he continued loosing without effort another 20 then By Feb’09 he developed shortness of breathe and was very tired…….. another echo nothing showed, In March he was given 2 rounds of Zpack treated for bronkitis /shortness of breath and another echo cardiogram. Then to lung specialist, and his primary care doctor they could find nothing all listened to his heart ect. Then near end of April ’09 he could barely walk 2-3 steps and would have to rest he saw a new rheumatoligist who listened to his heart/lungs he thought it was a lung problem and sent him directly to the hopsital there we saw several specialists They ran many many tests and put him on many medications to get fluid off his lungs they determined heart problems due to an irregular heart beat his lungs had filled with fluid causing him not to be able to breathe he could breathe but the amount of fluid was unreal It was very very serious we learned his heart problem could cause sudden death it was a very very scary situation.After 2 days he was transferred to a hospital who specialized in heart problems he had Atril Fibrillation, Cardic Myopathy, and Heart Failure. At the new hopsital they did lots more tests including a heart cath and no blockages they said his doctor was thrilled and said they dont see that very often. He could not explain what caused any of this to happen but told us my husband would be monitored and on medication the rest of his life. That was almost 2 years ago We were concerned about Tylenol’s effect on the liver so he really reduced his intake of the Darvoset since having the heart problems one bottle has lasted 6 months so you can imagine how suprised I was Today I went to fill his Darvoset and found it had been taken off the market …. due to heart problems….. jwe wonder why we were not notified it was RECALLED ????? and we now wonder if taking it caused his heart problems. My husband always believed that Cymbalta was the cause or attributed to his heart problems, I think it was the combination of both. We hope Cymbalta is taken off the market and should not be given to people who are NOT depressed. He’s told me he felt different and I saw his reactions and personality change while he was on it. He did and said things that were not like himself.

My wife took propoxyphene two times for pain from cancer and died that night in her sleep. Lawyers won’t touch the case because of no autopsy. Strange that she was improving and got raving reports on Mon. and died in her sleep tues. night after taking 2 pills-one at 4:30 and one at 10:30. If there is anyone out there that passes taking this medicine, make sure you have the autopsy done. I just don’t want anyone else injured or worst by this medication. I got a letter of recall 5 weeks after she passed.

I was taking darvocets for a little over 20 years for pain on left side of body. Over the last 5 years I started developing heart problems associated with shortness of breath. Went to the hospital numerous times and they couldn’t pin point the problem. This is really unbelievable about the recall.

I was first given darvocet in 1995 after a major surgery it worked great after a while it seemed like I couldnt sleep without it.I wold feel really tired and my heart would race.I went to my doctor and to my surprise I had to be given a eco gram for mt heart which seemed to be skipping a beat I was then 26 year female have never smoked or drank.Years later I was told I had fibro and placed back on darvocet that was in 2002 and really noticed the fummy feeling of passing out after I took the darvocet my doc said to just take 1 a day at bed time since then I have developed stomach issues in 2005-2007 I was sent to a gasto and he had to do a colon job on me he told me I had diverticoltis got the pictures showing the tears in my colon he took me off all pain medicine and has tried to treat this in 2008 until now I have been takinfg darvocet for chronic back pain and have developed issues with my heart I just turned 40 lasy year took myself off of darvocet when I saw the news last month IM feeling better and have since been given a different pain flexril by my doctor

To all of those who think that these lawsuits are out of greed should think about others and not just theirselves. In 2004-05 I was prescribed Darvoct N 100 1 tablet 3 times a day as needed for a back injury I got at work. Most of the time I did not even take the recommended dose and usually got by on 1 a day. In June 2007 at the age of 35 I was diagnosed with complete AV block and had to have a pacemaker placed. Now you may think that I am greedy for wanting a lawsuit against the manufactur but I have to do 2 telephone checks for my pacemaker that are $600 each and 2 visits a year with an EP MD which is well over $600. So you tell me should I be responsible to pay for this for the rest of my life because of the fault of another.

I have been taking generic darvocet for 14 years. I have heart palpations, depression, chest pain, and blurred vision. Sometimes I wake up feeling like my heart has stopped. I use inhalers for breathing problems but is it asthma or reactions from the med?! At times I am dizzy or plain just don’t feel good.
