Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Dose is too high and acetaminophen is reducing the ability to form clot.
2. Subcutaneous petechaie are being formed so your are finding them as patches.
3. Propoxyphene, another drug in darvocet, is addictive.
4. He needs to get into rehabilitation for de-addiction purpose.
5. Acetaminophen should be reduced, and drug needs to be changed to another anti-platelet drug.

Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
