Anyone use this for chronic pain? How is it compared to meperidine (demerol)? I used to use an electric wheelchair. Nerves pinching off in neck etc. hands drew up.. Through faith & devotion to God (daily) & finding good Doctors (myopractors, accupuncturists, some kinesiologists& chiros) using Zanaflex for spasms & demerol (mild dosage) for pain I am making tremendous strides & there is no crazy high feeling. I can function & get about now fairly well w/ only a cane & daily devotion to the Lord & simple isometrics. Good Luck & God Bless your healing ## Was able to dig up some information from the manufacturer's label for Talwin Nx (Pentazocine + Naloxone). Talwin is a potent analgesic and 30 mg is usually as effective an analgesic as morphine 10 mg...

circlur.lineinthemiddle.orange ## is using Talwin similar to using Demerol for pain? I have used demerol for years & have never had to increase my dosage..Is Talwin the same? ## what is Talwin Px vs Talwin?

I was cleaning an old rental of mine and found a bottle of round, pink tablets. One side has a T/ 21 and the other has a cursive W. Talwin HCL maybe???? These are in an old bottle. Old printing Rx. Help. ## Possibly a darvon compound-propoxyphene that's no longer sold in the US. ## Please throw these pills away. Medication deteriorates with time. Some meds become poisonous. Powder them with a hammer, mix with dirt, put into trash. DO NOT TRY THEM !!!
