Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I was involved in an auto accident 30 years ago and suffer with chronic fibromyalgia, spinal cord injury, spinal stenosis, chronic sciatic pain in both legs, different forms of arthritis, neuropathy in both feet and legs -- not to mention the constant burning from head to toe. I had to undergo many years of therapy, back surgeries, injections in neck, shoulders, back, buttocks, knees, feet, and even nerve blocks. I, too, have been having problems with the Percocet 10/325 brand not working the same as other brands. They are also affecting my breathing; it feels like my airways are getting cut off. My drug store changes my medicine a lot without notifying me and they're supposed to. Is anyone else having this problem? And, yes, the drug store's number one priority is PROFITS! Not us!"

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have three bulging discs and a big guy at 240 lbs. The Rhodes brand of oxycodone with acetaminophen 10-325 medication is absolutely useless. It's like taking a placebo or just a regular Tylenol. My doctor said that some people's chemistry binds with the body's chemicals incorrectly with the medication and makes it inert. Does zero. The other Percocet brand that starts with an M, weird name, worked to reduce pain by 50%."

"My pharmacist just recently changed manufacturers to MFG Rhodes, a substitute for Percocet, and this medication is worthless I’m still waiting on my doctor to call me back so I can return this medication and go to a different location for Walgreens anyone else having issues with this manufacturer? What does one do when the medication doesn’t work do you return it back to Walgreens and have your doctor call in a new prescription it almost seems impossible for anyone to believe you that this generic manufacture of brand is worthless when you’re in chronic pain from multiple back surgeries and knee surgeries your body knows the difference on the type of medication as prescribed"

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I just received my refill for Oxycodone 10/325. It's the Camber brand. I received it once before, and it didn't do anything for my pain. I was forced to get it again, and I'm stuck for a month! What can be done about this? Is there a way to report them to the FDA? It's obviously a sugar pill or something. Isn't this against the law? How can I report this or contact Camber?"

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have multiple painful conditions such as DDD (cervical and lumbar), sacroiliitis, sciatica, small fiber neuropathy, and have been recently diagnosed by my pain doctor with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. For years, I have been prescribed one treatment or medication after another with poor results. I am now taking high doses of gabapentin for the nerve pain and 10/325 Percocet three times a day, and this is what keeps me functioning daily and working full time. If it wasn’t for Percocet, I would most likely be bedridden and on disability."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "My pharmacy only has the brand that is round white RP's. They don’t touch my pain. My tolerance is so high, but no other drug store will give me 150 a month. I just had radio frequency ablation. Best thing ever, even after 2 spine fusions I have never had pain relief this good. Today is Thursday and I had it done last Friday. They say it takes weeks for total results. It kills the nerves and works for up to 1 year. I recommend you Google it."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "If you find that this medication doesn’t help you, it could be your liver lacks the enzyme to break it down. This medication also made me feel depressed, and I actually am a very happy person, so I knew I wasn’t depressed, but couldn’t shake the feeling of flatness. Also, this medication did almost nothing for my pain from severe facet arthritis, DDD, and stenosis. I found 40 minutes later it felt like I had to take it again. Thankfully, my doctor switched me to something that does work, but I had a genetic test done for medication and found out I lack an enzyme to break the med down to the active form. I also found out that the reason for my mood problems is because this drug interacts with the Kappa receptor, which can cause dysphoria. Not great for me, but I know many people find relief with it. If you don’t or have the above experience, ask for a genetic test for pain medication. It is very helpful."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I broke my back at 25. This drug keeps me going. It helps me with my anxiety as well, makes me more social, and I can go to the gym and workout without pain. But my doctor only gives me 75 a month. I go through them in 20 days, but he won't give me more, which sucks. The new laws make it hard for people who actually need this drug. Rappers glorify drugs, and people who need them get screwed. I get 5/325. Miracle drug for some."

"I've been prescribed a new generic brand of Oxycodone 10-325the The brand is Was by Dr Reddy Pharmaceutical and it doesn't work. It's not a brand I'm familiar with. It says "Wes 203" on one side and "10-325" on the back. I've have not felt any relief yet and I'm thinking it's a poor quality generic. Is anyone familiar with this brand?"

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I am mid-40s male and had chronic back pain, spondylosis, and degenerative disc disease for the last 5 years to where it became impossible to hardly move without being in pain. I am allergic to codeine, so the doctors tried Vicodin. I saw nothing with Vicodin except tiredness. I was asked to try Percocet 5/325 in place of the Vicodin. Not only has it helped make the pain manageable, I actually had the desire to get out of the house and do things that I have not been able to do before taking it."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "Do NOT accept Camber brand generic Percocet. They do NOTHING. I thought it was just me. It's not. There are hundreds of 'me too' on this. It's a tiny round white pill. I have used generics of Percocet and other meds for years and never had an issue. Unless enough people call corporate offices, this sugar pill will be used. DEMAND a substitute. Your doctor can write to use only XYZ brand. No substitution. It's bad enough that the government is our doctor and cannot live up to the oath they took to put patients above State. Now add insult to injury with this garbage. It is legal for any generic to have up to 20% less active ingredient. Sometimes different fillers a pharma uses can have an effect on some patients. This is not the case here. These do nothing. Unless enough complain to corporate offices repeatedly, they will not change the brand they stock."

Endocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have been on 10/325 Endocet for over 8 years. I lived in WA for 3 of those years, now moved to ND. In WA, I paid $25.00 for 224 every 29 days. My pharmacist here, as of today, is charging me $395.00 every 29 days. He says the price is going up, and if he runs it through my insurance, he will lose money. I cannot do this anymore. I've been disabled since 2009. My spine is cemented L2, 3, 4, 5 & S1; it's also got 2 rods and 8 screws. My upper spine is twisted from degeneration and fused in 2 places. I don't know what to do. I had tried different ones like Watson, but they don't make them anymore. I have chronic pancreatitis and cannot take any NSAIDs. Reading all these comments is scaring me as to WHAT DOES ONE TAKE WHEN ENDOCET GETS TOO DARN EXPENSIVE. (Oh, only 1 pharmacy will order them for me) any suggestions???"

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I've been taking the generic Percocet 10/325 made by Alvogen for years. I find it to be a very effective generic brand and have had little to no side effects, other than making me very energetic and manic. Today, my same pharmacy switched to a generic brand unbeknown to me. It's imprinted with a T194 on the pill and it's white and oblong (Camber Pharmaceuticals). This is interesting as I have never consumed this particular generic brand. I have read all the comments and I'm doing my own, non-biased review of this brand. So far it's working, but it's only been an hour since I took them. It's disheartening to read all the bad and negative comments on this particular brand, but I will be honest with my review. It does give me the euphoria that my Alvogen brand gave me which indicates to me that it's working or at least gives one the impression. I will add to this review as time goes on because people react differently to different brands."

"I have chronic pain in my back, knees, and sciatica. I’ve been on 7.5/325 mg pain relievers for 2+ years. The makers of my pills/pharmacies have changed many times. That’s when I started doing research. I’ve been taking Camber brand T 193 and don’t like the relief or sick feeling I get from them. Taking this brand has caused me to stay home most of the time now unlike a year ago when I could go to the grocery or other places. (I wish I had a list of the earlier brands that worked) I’ve found most generics come from India and FDA inspections are lacking. Found this informative link that sheds some light on generic drugs. Google search - Bloomberg culture-of-bending-rules-in-india-challenges-u-s-drug-agency. I wish the FDA would recognize that some people’s quality of life depends on medications that work instead of profits. More inspections of foreign drugs are needed."

Percocet 7.5/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I suffer from chronic back and joint pains for years now. I have been getting relief from acetaminophen/oxycodone 7.5/325 pain meds for about a year now. All started off ok, giving relief that enabled me to get out and do things. Now the generic brand Camber does little for me and leaves side effects. I never had this problem or felt bad before. The pharmacies keep switching manufacturers looking for the cheapest generic prices I guess. Why is it that some brands that I took worked much better than others if they are (supposedly all the same)? In my opinion, FDA oversight lacks on imported generic drugs. Can’t afford over a thousand dollars for the original medications :("

"This is a review on the generics of acetaminophen with oxycodone. AMNEAL PHARMACEUTICALS is the worst you can get. My pharmacist said ENDOCET was still on back order, which are the only ones that ever worked for me. I have had spinal fusion with titanium rods and screws surgery, bullet in my right leg (innocent bystander), sciatic nerve damage, and hip arthritis. I would need 3 AMNEAL 10/325 as opposed to 1 ENDOCET. I have no choice now but to wait until my next refill in August. It's horrible that so many have abused this medication and people like all of us genuine pain sufferers must use fake or placebo type medicine. I hope the FDA will realize there are many people with legitimate daily pain. Going forward, I pray everyone on this site finds relief and good health. All the very best to you all."

"I'm so glad I read most of the reviews! My pharmacy switched from Alvogen 10/325 to Camber brand acetaminophen/oxycodone, and I've been sick for three weeks! I have severe osteoarthritis in my spine, neck, and knees, and have been taking Alvogen brand for 3 years. I'm about to refill, so I'm calling pharmacies to ask what brand they carry... I sound like a junkie, but some days I can't get out of bed. There is a definite issue with the Camber brand and it should be checked by the FDA."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "It feels like there is no opioids in these pills anymore. People suffer but yet the government is allowing tons of opioids coming across the Border that will be abused and dangerous to thousands of people. But if you take them responsibly to improve your life you can't get anything decent that works"

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have spinal stenosis and severe arthritis in my knees. I have taken 10mg oxycodone for over 4 years, prescribed three times a day. It doesn’t get rid of my pain, but definitely takes the edge off. I just moved and switched pharmacies to Walgreens. As many have reported, Walgreens now uses pills manufactured by Camber, and they DO NOT WORK. I had leg cramps the first day I took them and then woke up nauseous with a horrible headache. Also, my throat aches. I feel jittery. I cannot get another prescription until my time is up with these. I am a heart patient, so I am afraid of what ingredients Camber adds that cause the side effects. I reported this in full detail on the FDA website. Obviously, Walgreens makes a good profit and doesn’t want to change. I will change to a different pharmacy."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have chronic pain and for the last 10 years have tried all pain meds and the ONLY one that works is 10MG percs. I take about 5 a day and I can work full time and live my life as it lowers the pain to about a 5. I just pray that they leave PM doctors alone with this new push to get rid of opiates. I need them!"

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "After taking Norco 10/325 for close to 8 months, I was switched to Percocet 10/325 and what a difference! I take 4 a day and I have my life back! I was injured earlier this year and fractured my patella. Even Physical Therapy didn't help as much as it should, because I was left with osteoarthritis in my knee. I'm now able to do chores, go places and enjoy life again thanks to no pain! Thank you Percocet."

"I’ve been tested for 2 months and test are negative on Camber generic Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) from publixs and Now a new generic from a private run pharmacy Rhodes brand and I tested negative again, so I want to know are they putting any active ingredients in these???. So with that said seeing a spinal neurologist and using pain meds when needed, I have never tested negative on the Alvogen generic and it seems to help 100% better than the Camber or Rhodes. There is no way on this earth I should’ve tested negative. Something needs to be done about the bad genetics."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I am 23 and have degenerative disc disease, arthritis in my lower back, and two bulging discs. It began when I herniated two discs - L5, S1, and had a discectomy three years ago. I had relief for about 4 months, and then the pain came back. I am in constant pain now on a daily basis and unfortunately will probably be stuck on meds for the rest of my life. I have tried many different painkillers, and Percocet has been the most beneficial for eliminating my back pain."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "My pharmacy changed. To percosets to ALVAGEN, brand. I had no idea because they were sent it through email. I returned them, through the mail I have a lumbar fusion and a neck fusion . I suffer unbearable pain. I had to take three. To Straighten my legs in the morning to walk . I think they are placebo's. I can't believe they actually giv these to chronic pain sufferers. It's a Shane when people really suffer in pain to give these to people j owing they can't fill their prescription again I returned to my mail pharmacy.. I ll suffer. Before you g to through all the trouble. It's not worth it I'll never take them again. Sincerely Amanda Poore"

"Been taking Oxycodone/acetaminophen for a long time for spine pain/ bone spurs/ arthritis of the spine. Got a different pill this time from Amneal Pharm. / CVS. Absolute NO pain relief and will struggle to bear the pain rather than take more than the prescribed dose. I'm over 70 and I am in such severe pain, why? These pills are clearly different than my last Rx. What can I do? Is taking them back to the pharm an option? The pill has IP204 on the surface. Anyone know anything about this "pain pill" that does nothing for pain relief? Address your response to Red, please."
