per milligram it is about a quarter of the strength of codiene.

so your 100 mg darvocet is almost equal to 30mg codiene.

i cannot remember what the N is for but do remember that it is irrellevant.

I also believe that drugs may have "salt" forms like napsylate, HCl (hydrochloride), bitartrate, sulfate, etc. that are chemically used to regulate how fast the particular drugs (molecules) they are attached to will dissolve and be ready for absorption into your system.  Some of these salt forms make the drugs less or more soluble than others.

if you havent been taking any meds for pain stick with darvocet.youll hear allot of smack talked about darvs but iv been taking them for a couple of years,and my grandmother has for like 17 years and i picked up most those scripts. people say they suck or their dangeraus or both. like i tell my freinds stay on darvocet as long as you can befor "upgrading" to vicoden or percocet. the pain releif they provide is really good and they are in no way a "placebo pill" simply takeing one on a completly empty stomuch will disprove eney placebo or asprin like nonsence.youll understand exactly why their a narcotic, tho a milder one.i think the dangeraus stuff comes from abusing them,650 of tylonol each comperd to 325 can make the diferance. in my opinion those "no better than asprin" studys were paid for by people who have an intrest in you taking a much more habit forming medication. percocet,vicoden and so on.if you look at people who say they dont work they are often people who have been taking pain medication for a very long time and have high tolerences to much stronger pills,and for them im know they are truthfull when they say they do nothing.if you go long enuff, one percocet will do nothing. i have both darvs and vics but but i chose to take darvs. after time you will have withdrawl if you stop but its nothing compeird to vics or percs. i think vics are 35% better for pain but 350% more adictive.personaly unless its absolutly needed i wont commit to vicoden. and believe me if its long term it is a commitment for better or worse.iv had plenty of freinds prove that to me......i know allot of people disagre with me and if you do please send me a comment,unless my new spine specialist tells me to swich ill be on darvs for years to come...i have ddd, athritis and im only 27.
