Question Dr. Galbraith, I read your answer in response to the question about darvocet and sexual side effects, i.e., delay in ejaculation. I have also noticed the same effect, and my girlfriend and I actually like that side effect. In fact, I asked my doctor for darvocet to deal with tension headaches that I get, and he said that he didn't want to prescribe that because darvocet has side effects and it's addictive. I told him that I actually like the side effects, and he prescribed Viagra.
The more insistent or persistent I was in asking for darvoceet specifically, I assume that made me look like a patient with drug-seeking behavior. How can I get darvocet prescribed for pain and these side effects?
Answer Dear Robert
Darvocet, while being similar, in some respects to morphine is much less addictive. Addiction is relatively rare and the euphoria usually short-lived if it occurs at all. In fact addiction in Australia is exceedingly rare and it is available but I do not know of any black market in it which shows its abuse potential is low. You’ll just have to try to persuade your prescriber or change to another more sympathetic ear to see if you can get a prescription. I do not advise buying over the net as they are very expensive and usually fake. You are better flushing your money down the toilet.
I find it strange that he prec4ribed Viagra – I see no reason to.
Regards
