Talwin (pentazocine) is prescription painkiller that is in the narcotic analgesics class of drugs. It treats moderate to severe pain, and is often given before or after a surgery or as part of the general anesthesia before a surgical procedure.
Talwin is sometimes mixed with ritalin (a medication used in patients with ADHD) and other drugs, and marketed as a recreational drug under the street names "Poor Man's Heroin," because it may produce a "high" that is similar to the effect of heroin.
