It's still is around and is a very effective analygesic but it got a bad rep years ago as an abuse drug. It was known as "T"s and "blues"- for Talwin and Ritalin mixed together. Supposed to be very simular to heroin. They added naloxone to the tablets to keep the junkies from shooting them (they would go into immediate withdrawl) but the drugs reputation was shot already. I did hear it used to come in an injectable form but have never seen it.
