How is a Darvon cocktail made and used?

Question

First, let me preface this by saying: I am NOT interested in actually trying this!

I'm writing a screenplay where a character is suicidal and tries this. Answers from an actual doctor on the methods and (more importantly to my story) effects of the Darvon cocktail would be greatly appreciated.

Darvon is commonly used to commit suicide in a combination of others drugs, known as a Darvon cocktail. Dextropropoxyphene (Darvon) is used as a pain killer because it is an opiate. Given this, it lowers blood pressure and suppresses breathing. Therefore, when taken in a Darvon cocktail, the person will fall asleep until eventually they stop breathing. An over dose of the drug will stop breathing anyway so you dont need anything else...
