Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "Generic Percocet 10-325 Alvogen seems to be the best generic brand. I suffer from herniated discs in my neck. My neurologist wants to operate on them. My cardiologist and GP both agree that my heart could not withstand the operation since I have aggressive coronary artery disease, bypass, and 23 stents. My GP and pharmacist both treat me like I’m some heroin addict, living under a bridge. Very embarrassing and uncomfortable, to say the least. They give you these medications to relieve your pain and make your life more manageable. Then they tell you that you need to stop taking them. The stigma alone of a person on these medications is enough to create unnecessary shame and guilt. So, I was recommended Suboxone. Suboxone is a terrible medication. It may work for people with high addictions. No one asks to be an addict when they are children. I have nothing but empathy and sympathy for such people."

"I am a highly active person but my condition for the past 20 years has been advanced arthritis. Imagine reconciling joint pains with the desire to remain healthy. So, my treatment has been opioid medication for the past ten years. Does it work? Pain relief is accompanied by mild euphoria. Nevertheless, if I stop taking it, severe pain in the joints ensues, notwithstanding risky withdrawal symptoms. Being pain-free and feeling good about it, however, is a source of stigma by pharmacies and family members. So, according to my Dr's advice, I don't tell anyone. Care must be taken to avoid abuse and enjoy this healthy life. Gratefully, I've found something that works. I hope one day our cohort of bona fide chronic pain sufferers will no longer need to endure such social restrictions and stigmas."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "This drug is a miracle for me, but the government has made my life miserable. I get pain relief only on this - no high, no low, no sleepiness, nothing but pain relief. I was on 75mg total a day with extended release and breakthrough, but they have forced me down to 40mg a day of only breakthrough. I spend half my day sitting or lying down in pain until the pills kick in for about two hours. I will be seeking medical marijuana now."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I've tried absolutely everything from nerve pills to antidepressants to help my pain, and this is the only thing that works. Of course, my doctors want to take it away after 11 years because of all of the recent headlines."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have 4 herniated discs was prescribed Percocet which took the edge off. I never went above prescribed dosage then drug store switched generic company to camber acetaminophen/oxycodone I felt sick, headaches vomited. I never knew you could be sold total garbage from Walgreen’s so never will go back there. Instead I will go to mom and pop drug stores mallinkrot maybe spelt wrong but they do work better"

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "Been taking 10mg oxy/325mg acetaminophen for almost 3 years. I was unable to walk for 4 months awaiting surgery for microdisc as I could only afford what I had in savings. After relocating nerves and removal of partial disc, the pain went away. It lasted only 6 months and my back, legs, and rib cage became extremely painful again. With no help at hand, out of money, I ended up on Percocet (10mg oxy/325mg Tylenol). It works for the most part but needs a boost at times as it wears off in less than 5 hours. I am almost 100% disabled now as I am a prior Desert Storm Gulf War vet finding out recently I was also in contact with ionizing radiation. The Percocet is the only way I manage the 24-hour pain. Thanks Uncle Sam."

"Are they looking into acetaminophen / Oxycodone 10 because they do NOT work. This is a scam and they are trying to fool us. If you're really in pain then you know this doesn’t work. They are fooling us and putting something else (or nothing) in these meds. Can someone please investigate! "

"I’ve been on Actavis brand of acetaminophen/oxycodone for years now then Walgreens changed to the Camber brand acetaminophen/oxycodone and can’t take it. Now they gave me Mallinckrodt! I am so sensitive to change in meds, does anyone else feel a difference?"

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I'm a survivor of Crohn's for 48 years now. My Crohns has advanced greatly so the pain has also. I'm in pain every day of my life even though I'm on biologics. My experience with generics, pharma companies, and pharmacies has been pure hell. Mallinckrodt is the only generic for 10/325 that actually works but CVS doesn't use them, instead they go the cheaper route to Rhodes. Not only is Rhodes barely effective but they use the lowest amount of the main ingredient they are allowed and their fillers can be quite toxic to those with sensitive systems. As a nurse I was able to get these lists, Rhodes was up there with others the law allows them to make the 10/325 and other meds, with the barest minimum allowed and no checks on fillers used. I'm sorry as hell to see where we've evolved with pharmaceutical companies, labs that make our meds, and our government not taking note of all these issues. My dog has better pain relief."

Endocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "Work-related injury 20 years ago followed by 5 back surgeries, fusions at L4/5 & L5/S1. The spinal cord stimulator worked for a couple of months until my body formed scar tissue and pushed the electrodes out of place. From here, I went to prescription therapy, even tried CBD, but that was useless. Over time, we (my doctor and I) settled on Percocet and 10/325, 120 tablets. My pharmacy was low, so they mixed Percocet (100 tablets) with Endocet (20 tablets). I was told it was the same medication. During the month, I noticed that the Endocet was not working as well as the Percocet. (Percocet is white, Endocet is yellow). The next month, I got all Endocet because it's all the pharmacy had available. It's not that Endocet doesn't work, but it only gives me about 60% relief instead of the 85-90% that I get with Percocet."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have been on multiple pain meds for scoliosis and a previous break. This works better than the fentanyl patches, and way better than the MsContins I was on. They don't make me feel groggy or have an upset stomach. Highly recommended."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "Been on these meds for 9 years due to a severe back injury. Each MRI was worse than the previous. W/O these meds I cannot function. The mfg(Rhodes)was changed to KVK Tech. KVK gave me severe diarrhea. My dr said that was impossible. She said I most likely had diarrhea because I’m selling them instead of taking them. I'm on 112 of the 5mg every 14 days and I’m having withdrawals. I found out the KVK brand has an extra inactive ingredient, some kind of lactose something, I’m lactose intolerant. My dr. cut the quantity in half believing I was selling them. 2 months on the KVK brand severe diarrhea non stop. One morning the pain was so bad in my leg and back I couldn’t walk and was taken to the hospital and was admitted. MRI revealed a benign growth on my spine and was now pinching nerves. My dr called it arthritis. Years of Rhodes (oxy) seemed to work. Mallinckrodt also worked ok. I just filled 10/325 of camber will see if those work. KVK absolutely does not work for me."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "Percocet is indeed a wonder medicine for pain. I take up to 5 a day and still have some pain, but at least it is dulled to a point of making my life worthwhile. I am in my late 70s, and doctors have told me that back surgery at my age and my condition (Severe stenosis, herniated disc) is risky. I thought my later years would be enjoyable, but back pain has made me lose interest in all the things that I looked forward to, like travel, etc. It has placed a heavy burden on my wife to take care of me in my pain mode."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I WAS HURT ON MY JOB AND I HAVE HAD A BACK DISORDER FOR 15 YEARS NOW AND HAVE TAKEN JUST ABOUT EVERY CHRONIC PAIN MEDS AVAILABLE! BUT WHEN MY DOCTOR (who is one of the best pain management doctors in my area) STARTED ME ON OXYCONTIN 40mg 1 TABLET EVERY 12 HOURS IT DIDN'T WORK ALL DAY, SO HE THEN PUT ME ON PERCOCET 10/325. FOR IN BETWEEN PAIN. IT DOESN'T TAKE AWAY THE BURNING AND STABBING FEELING, BUT IT DOES TAKE MOST OF THE PAIN AWAY FOR AT LEAST 2-3 HOURS. SO I WOULD SAY THAT I REALLY LIKE THE PERCOCET 10/325 A LOT. I HAVE TO LIVE THE REST OF MY LIFE LIKE THIS...BECAUSE THERE IS NO CURE FOR MY BACK PROBLEM!"

"Camber T 194 white oblong pills, supposedly generic Percocet, 10mg Oxycodone and 325mg Acetaminophen but I'll bet ten grand it's not. It will make you wish you'd gone to the street to get your prescription filled. For $599.00 I can have it tested and am compelled to do this as I've had numerous generic brands of Percocet in the past ten years and NEVER did they make me sick, completely useless and give me explosive diarrhea. I only took a half of a pill to see if I'd have an adverse effect as it happened once before (NOTHING like this though) and if I'd have taken a whole one I'd be at the ER right now. Also, the T194's on the Camber website are a light green in color in their photo but mine are white. ??? Is Camber trying to kill legitimate pain patients???"

"Please report camber meds if you think they aren't working or are bad!!!! The FDA needs more complaints to investigate. I have filed a complaint. These pills have left me very ill. These are not oxycodone and I am not sure if they are they are using the correct formula when making these pills. The FDA NEEDS TO HEAR FROM YOU. https://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm095859.htm"

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I tried every pain medication for my back pain, it did not work. When I got in pain management, he put me on Percocet 10/325; that's the best thing that ever happened. Now I get to sleep at night, play with my kids, go workout at the gym, cut my grass, and I have no pain. This was a blessing, thanks to the people who made this medicine."

"Been taking pain medication for many years. Some have helped and some not. Recently I feel the pain meds are lacking the main ingredients that help. It is so frustrating that people who are really needing pain meds can’t get them without being made to feel as if you are an addict. I believe that pharmaceutical companies are cutting back on ingredients because of so much overdose cases. That has really hurt the people that really good pain medicine. This company that my prescription was filled through Alvogen pain med company must have forgotten to put the main ingredient in the pills. All the pills did was gave me major constipation. Little relief from my back pain. They made a lot of money for selling people false medicines. Help Help Help"

"Been in pain management for 10 years. I’ve tried them all and can say they are all different! Please respond to Bigmike in your first words since this review doesn’t allow responses. Been loyal to WALGREENS this far. The A333 brand was the BEST! I then was swapped to the T194, which was good, then yellow then the M523 (Mallinckrodt) then switched to the T194 Camber brand. M523 Has been the worst for me! I am lazy and “ spaced out” only on these! Never had I’ll side effects like others describe but feel dumb and unproductive, compared to energized and euphoric on all the others. Anyone else? I’ve had a 3 week sore throat on the Mallinckrodt M325 too. Anyone have any alternatives as I can’t continue to live like this?"

"Approximately 4 months ago, I was switched from Camber pharmaceuticals generic yellow Oxycodone/Acetaminophen 10/325mg pills to white Camber pharmaceuticals Oxycodone/Acetaminophen 10/325mg pills and my symptoms began! I experienced feeling shaky, feeling like I can’t breathe, terrible sweating episodes, SEVERE anxiety, heart troubles, it is absolutely awful!! Immediately, after a particularly SEVERE attack this morning, I called my local pharmacy and spoke with my pharmacist and explained what was going on. He told me that as far as he was told, “all the manufacturer did was remove the dye.” I hung up and immediately called Camber pharmaceuticals in New Jersey. After hours and hours of waiting- nothing. Something is VERY wrong with the pills and the FDA isn’t doing anything! I’m going to ask my local hospital to test the pills because I KNOW something is VERY wrong here! If your going through this, Please start complaining!We need help and the FDA is ignoring us!"

"My Walgreens switched my acetaminophen/oxycodone 7.5 to Mallinckrodt 2 months ago and I do not seem to get the same pain relief. I am also experiencing headaches, nausea and I just feel lousy with this new brand. I am going to fill my next script at a different pharm so I can get another brand and see if it helps. Maybe it's all in my head? I don't think so because I get more relief from my old scripts that are 5 mg ( I still had some left over). I am reading many people are having similar issues with Mallinckrodt. I wish I had a magic wand so I could wave it and help you all with your pain."

Percocet 5/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "Before surgery, stayed in bed (neck), took two pills when I got home, what a relief! I can at least walk around now. I would recommend this to anyone in pain. DEA, please stop making this pill so hard to get when people like myself really need them."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "Ended up trying these new Camber 10/325 as my usual pharmacy switched manufacturers without my knowing, and needless to say, here I am writing a review or should I say warning? I have been on long term pain meds for a completely disintegrating spine for 10 years now and have always had decent pain control by mixing OxyContin with Percocet however I recently have experienced the craziest reaction in all of my 10 years. First the taste of these things are very odd, almost perfume like. I didn’t think much about it until I lost all pain control, became debilitatingly weak, headaches, nausea, bone-racking pain, pouring sweat 24-7, feeling like I wanted to jump out of my skin, and basically felt like I had a bad bad case of the flu on top of it all. THE WORST. Something is really wrong with these pills and I submitted a complaint on FDA Medwatch. I find it very interesting that other people have been experiencing the same."

Endocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "After a few on the job injuries, 2 lumbar spine surgeries & 7, (yes I said 7), cervical spine surgeries over 15 years, I have tried every narcotic & non-narcotic pain reliever going. I am in constant pain since 2 of the neck surgeries were failures ! My pain management Dr. is a Saint in letting me play guinea pig since I wanted less narcotics. After almost 20 years of 24/7 documented pain & surgeries, Endocet does the best job ever ! (Percocet is aces but who can afford it !). I’ve been on 10/325mg Endocet for almost 15 years now and haven’t needed anything stronger, nor have I needed to ask for any more than my normal 150 quantity. If the pain gets unbearable I am to take 2 every 4 hours which works pretty well for me. Not many side effects, every 2nd or 3rd Rx I may get ‘the itchies’ an hour after taking them, it sucks but does go away. Thank you for Endocet 10/325"

"The acetaminophen with oxycodone doesn’t seem to work like it use to. I am in pain all the time, it is like they took the pain killers out of pill. I read that other people are having the same problem. How am I suppose to go to work in pain. I feel wronged not only did they cut me from 6 a day to 4 a day I am sure the stopped putting the active ingredients out of the pill"
