hello there, chemist here....darvon (and related darvocet) is a mild narcotic pain reliever (propoxyphene, usually as the hydrochloride salt)....it is a non-opiod and looks quite a bit like methadone (structurally). probably given post-root canal, or if you sprained your wrist, that sort of thing. it's a schedule IV drug, and is not on the radar for extensive abuse, as far as i know....i think that a 25 year period is long enough to discount any present maladies, unless you were taking handfuls of the stuff and washing it down with booze for a pretty long time, in which case there might be some liver trouble.....in summary, it is pretty far down the list of youthful indiscretions that persist a quarter century later......be well, chemist
