have a problem later in life like with failing kidneys or anything, has anyone had any experience in this. These doctors will tell you it's fine and then in a year or two when something goes wrong they will say Oh we should'nt have been doing that because it causes this, this and this.

Kind of like the things with Vioxx, Celebrex, Bextra etc. So far there is nothing on Darvocet. Only take as directed by a physician. Anyone could over dose on any meds and create problems.

just don't drink heavily with it! other than that you will be fine. it's just a smidge more difficult for your body to pass it through than most fast food products! i just worry about addiction. i was hooked i think because after i stopped i was irritable as hell an cranky for like three days! do as the instructions say and you will be fine! eat healthy!

You will be fine. Most doctors know, and the pharmacist would know as well.
