What do you think about Darvocet painkillers being pulled from the U.S. MARKET?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Friday that it is pulling off the U.S. market the prescription painkillers Darvon and Darvocet because of new scientific evidence they can damage the heart, even at recommended doses, or cause fatal cardiac abnormalities.
Crack was my drug of choice. If I had an extra $10.00 in my pocket it was to be spent on crack and crack only. Darvocet however was something I would ingest whenever I found it in someone else’s medicine cabinet.
Yes, people really do scavenge through other people’s medicine cabinets. If you haven’t stored your prescription pills in an alternative place, you should because someone is going to rummage through your medicine cabinet!
I knew there was something wrong with this drug. Once I had taken a handful in someone’s bathroom and the next thing I knew I woke up with my head in a wall. Not because I had taken a handful at once but because something about Darvocet made my heart skip a beat. Literally! Yes my head was actually stuck in someone’s bathroom wall. Trying to explain that was almost next to impossible! The point is it most certainly affected me in the negative way that the FDA now claims that it can.
So my question is: Do you suffer from pain and are being prescribed Darvocet? And if so, do you think you have become addicted to them? What are you going to do now in light of the recent FDA decision? Switch to something else or are you ready to give up pain killers all together?

About me: I am Super Star (yes, that is my legal name). I have earned that name – and accomplished what many people would consider impossible – because I chose to stay sober one day at a time. I left the crack houses to mingle with Hollywood’s elite, ending up working with all of my childhood musical heroes, and have now found my purpose in life after surviving an almost 15-year battle with the disease of addiction.
Currently, I am an advocate for kids in recovery from substance abuse (and prevention as well) in Malibu, California, as well as from my home in Chicago, a sober companion to many, director of a non-profit that helps those struggling with recovery, and passionate speaker to kids about the issues of drugs and addiction.
I am also an author and musician. I am currently finishing my work on the book, “The First 30 Days to Serenity: The Essential Guide to Staying Sober,” which can be pre-ordered here. I have also just wrapped up the recording of Serenity, a first-of-its-kind CD created in conjunction with my twin brother Rock Star solely to combat addiction. “Serenity,” was produced by a Grammy-winning producer and features many of our musical heroes, who have come together to help us tell our story in an effort to help others through their own addiction struggles. Guests on our CD include current and former members of bands such as Kiss, Heart, The Goo Goo Dolls, Dokken, Trans-Siberian Orchestra as well as many more. It rocks – musically and inspirationally – and can be found here
