Brief Answer:
less likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your query and will help you in best possible way,


Darvocet containing propoxyphen was withdrawn seeing its side effects,
It had cardiac side effect and ECG changes even on theraupatic uses,

Many other alternative analgesic medicine with some other compounds,like
Ultracet,
Myosaz forte,
That will help with you for your neck pain,are available.

As above medication are prescription based,
I recommend you to visit your treating doctor discuss,and get medicine prescribed.

Hope this information helps.

Wish you good health.
