I also want to mention that they just took darvocet (or darvon) off the market.  So not sure where he's getting them from but I believe Dr.'s are not supposed to prescribe this med anymore.

Please do talk to him.  You have to start there.

Putting one pill in his body would be too much if he isnt prescribed the meds......I would be talking to him immediately.

I found these pills in my teenage sons bedroom. I looked them up and was confused at the potency. I know w oxycodone or hydrocodone the perscription are usually 5 to 10 mlg a dose. the dosage was 650/150 its a pink oval pill that says 5114  v. how many would he be taking to "get high" im worried about how much he put in his sytem.

Yes, and yes.  It is a weaker opioid.  Darvocet or Darvon are just brand names of the same thing.
