Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I took Percocet for several years then stopped, and just got back on to it but with a different CO. It was like it had no active ingredients and it made me hyper and made me lose sleep. No good, like the company made fake pills."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "Every disc in my entire spine is damaged, all sorts of conditions with Chronic Pain. I've been on Brand Percocet for 10+ years with a few years on the generics. The generics suck and don't do much for pain as I had to keep switching between them (so long on 1 and then so long on the other) but the Brand Percocet does work, for me anyway. I was even reduced from 5/day to 3/day and it's still working. NO addiction and NO dependence, my strength is 10/325. The ins co wants to put me on generics again not because they care about me it's the cost. Quality of life, along with other meds, is better but far from great. Any side affects are out weighed by how good they work without getting high."

Endocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "Chronic neck and back pain from congenital stenosis and degenerative disc disease which also create bad arthritis. Started with activis 10/325 generic Percocet and worked great. About 1 year later they switched to Camber and Mallnkrodt (however it’s spelled). They are both bad. The Mallinkrodt start strong and great pain relief, but only for 2-3 hours if lucky. Found out I could request any special medication I wanted. So after I heard that I immediately googled, who had the best generic for Percocet for about 3 hours. Found out about 75% of everyone said ENDOCET was the best. And that makes sense, since Endocet is Percocets own generic (weird they’d make their own generic). And Endocet is definitely the best I’ve had and I’ve had a lot of generics, and the original, Percocet; Endocet is basically Percocet. "

Endocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "When the cortisone shots stopped helping me, my doctor prescribed Endocet. Day one, I was able to walk, sit, stand, and lay down pain-free. I do get a little bit light-headed. I'll take that any day! Previously tried hydrocodone all the way to 10/325, and I was still in pain. This really works wonders."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have stage 4 ovarian cancer and chemotherapy did not work. My pain medication was increased from 5 mg to 10 mg of hydrocodone, which was not working, and life was miserable with both back and abdominal pain. My doctor switched me to 10/325 Percocet and the difference is astounding. I cannot remember the last time I went without pain for the day, and I do not care if I stay on this for the rest of my life. What a wonderful difference to my well-being!"

"I’m on Percocet 10 for years. I was switched to the Mallinckrodt I knew they made me sick but I wasn’t told about the switch. I had to take them all month. Years ago, my father in law built a pharmacy building. I got to know the pharmacist and her son on a casual basis. I got my Percocet there one month. I asked the Pharmacist son why they carry a medicine that makes some people have stomach problems. This is what he said. “It’s strictly business. We’re allowed to purchase a pill with 100 % active ingredients but as low as 20% less.” It’s now 30% less. It is sad that Mallinckrodt was allowed to take 30 % of active ingredients out of their formula and makes us sick . Hang in there . Chronic patients . We worked all our lives and got hurt etc. and just want out of pain and a normal life. Thanks"

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "This isn't the first site I've researched for answers to my recent experience with Camber mfg. Percocet Rx my pharmacy switched to late Jan 2018. I'd say be on notice! My pharmacy switched me to Camber late Jan.2018. I thought maybe aggravation to my pain? but seemed like more pain & sooner. I had been stable for years prior. Now 2nd full refill oh my goodness I still had more pain but crazy symptoms I haven't had for years plus headaches, stiffness not the usual, extreme nausea , feels like throat/esophagus swollen. One day foggy, can't think at all another feel like I'm on speed, sometimes just weird, not like me ! I was ok before... with NO side effects at all..Now today open bottle & horrible smell like paint thinner & rot. I'm freaking out this Rx is unbearable! I'm thinking of sending to an independent lab to get tested. This smell is serious.. Are they skimming the active ingredient...going to black markets?! This is serious & harming legitimate patients."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "Only in regards to RP10325 Rhodes Pharmaceuticals Oxycodone/Acetaminophen 10/325. In chronic severe pain, I've been taking Percocet for years and it gave me back my life. I was ready to give up until I was finally told that this is what I needed and some people do need opioids when taken as prescribed. It helped for years. Recently CVS switched to the Rhodes Pharmaceuticals brand. I talked to the pharmacist and all she said was that she's out of the normal brand she gets but didn't elaborate. Is there a shortage? Or is this all thats available. The Rhodes brand feels like I'm having withdrawals as well. There is something wrong with this brand as many others have noted. As someone else suggested I sent in an online complaint as, if we don't report it, it will never change and be made correctly. I can't believe the fillers would make it not work and I'm not a scientist but my back is still hurting after taking the Rhodes brand of percocet for 2 days."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "3 back surgeries resulting in severe chronic pain. I have been taking Percocet 5/325 for over 10 years. 2 to 3 tabs daily, and it enables me to do gardening, lawn care, and other chores around the house. It really allows me to do more and have a better quality of life."

"I am experiencing the same results from the generic brand Mollinckrodt from walgreens. I have been on 7.5-325 MG oxy for my back and neck pains and chronic migraines. I know when I am taking effective medication and these are not. If the generic brands are ineffective, what are the pharmacies doing about it? Something needs to be done and the FDA needs to take note that not all people on opioids are addicts or druggies. We are in pain and need help not judgement. Please address the issues with the generic brands of oxy. Thank you in advance."

Roxicet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I too have had chronic pain after terrible accident and have been on pain medication for decades. When I take CAMBER OXYCODONE HCL 15 MG they made me sick from withdrawal, nausea, diarrhea, chills, aches, no pain relief and stuck on them for.a month - is there any active ingredient in these. Tell your pharmacy to NEVER give you that brand again. If a chain, DRIVE TO ANOTHER to find different brand and PLEASE REPORT TO FDA. I have reported this terrible worthless drug to FDA. The more reports they get then maybe they will inspect further, and hopefully do tests on how much active ingredients are in them. I have refused this brand with my pharmacy. I am so sick from them and in terrible pain - I just can't function but have to use them for this month. DEMAND FDA do something. Please please report. There is a shortage of opioids thanks to junkies not us people in chronic pain who do what we are told. But if FDA don't stop this company we may be stuck with only being able to get these TRASH, USELESS PILLS!"

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "My experience began when I was a child. I had very strange headaches, eventually diagnosed as 'ice pick migraines'. They had all the symptoms of the normal migraine you hear about, except they were so painful, my feet would draw up, my eyes would roll back, and I went almost stiff from the pain... nothing helped. When I hit my thirties, I started having issues with my spine, my pancreas, and my kidneys. Percocet is the only therapy out there that keeps me from wanting to die. My blood is thinner, and I have issues, as stated, with my pancreas and stomach, so I cannot take OTC drugs; they make me sick. Very sick. But, of course, no one believes that until they see what happens to me. It's kind of a living hell. I say if we can help, help."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "As someone constantly in pain from sports injuries and just general pain from working out 4-5 times a week, minor sciatic recurring pain in my legs, and with no options to discontinue my weekly workout routine, Percocet is perfect. Never has Percocet made me loopy, stupid, tired, or out of control. In fact, I feel more energy when I take Percocet, and I am able to not only make it to the gym but get a much more effective workout. As a 36-year-old with very low-level high blood pressure concerns, family history of heart problems, family obesity history, a history of being overweight myself, and adult ADHD, I have no choice but to workout! Percocet allows me to do so, while working and living a normal life. Thank you, Percocet."

"My regular white oblong oxycodone 10/325 helped me go back to work and be able to get up in the morning without assistance, still a lot of pain but my med made it tolerable. This month Walgreens gave me a round yellow pill, I called and asked they said it’s the same but a different brand. It is NOT the same. These are in no way helping like my regular AT ALL. Now I know why I’ve been nauseated, headaches and lots more pain. This is awful. I will change pharmacies before I take these again, now I have 3 more weeks with these. How awful this is!!! It’s NOT the drug it’s the MANUFACTURE Alvogon . I’m in so much pain after taking these like I took some aleve or something ."

Primlev (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "According to my pain Dr, companies have a 20% allowable variance in the active ingredient. That is horrible ! ! ! So they put me on a brand of oxycodone / acetaminophen, called PRIMLEV 10/300, and it has been AMAZING ! It actually works. Have tried all the other manufacturers and this one blows them all away"

"I've been taking Oxycodone 5mg for 13 years. For pain from car accident and other medical conditions. Anyways, I normally go to CVS to get my prescription filled the pills are normally marked with a 512 and they are white and round BUT now when I go to CVS the same one that I have been using for years always has the excuse, Sorry sir we don't have enough to honor the prescription or sorry sir we have to order them and it will be a few days. I started going to a MA-PA Pharmacy across the street, they do give me rough time about filling a prescription 2 to 4 days early and they always have the medications I need. But the pills I get from them have an ALV 196 when I take them they do not give me the relief I would get from the other Oxy pills that have 512 on them. I thought they were all the same thing? Am I wrong? Appreciate any feedback. Also feedback from anyone if they have similar issues with CVS giving you excuses about not having your pain meds."

"This T 194 (Camber Pharmaceuticals) pill claims it is oxycodone/acetaminophen 10/325 however it definitely does not feel like it. I would have rated it a zero on a scale of 1-10 but it made me choose a one as the lowest score. I have taken many various brands of percocet over the years and have never once felt like I did with this pill. It did absolutely NOTHING! How in the world can this be okay? It's not like buying these off the street like heroin and don't know whats in it. This is a prescribed medicine people are getting from their pharmacy. How is this happening? Who checks/regulates this stuff? Does no one check to make sure these ingredients are really what is being put into the pill? I can't believe that this could happen until I got on here and started reading all these comments other people put about the same problem. Is there something that can be done? This is just plain wrong. Any advice would be great."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I think it's ridiculous that uncle Sam would attempt to limit the use of this drug simply because people MAY form an addiction to it. Percocet is really a life saver because it's probably the only drug available to control chronic pain for those that suffer through it. It's like too many things these days where people will figure out a way to abuse something and then the powers that be limit it or completely outlaw it's manufacture and use for those that rely so heavily on it. Why should the innocent suffer simply because another person intentionally puts something in their bodies that isn't good for them?"

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have many spine health issues and, as a result, experience the joys of chronic back pain. This medicine works well for moderate pain for me. I did build up a tolerance for it pretty quickly, however, which is typical for any pain medicine. Bad side effects I experienced were debilitating nausea and hot flashes when it was taken on an empty stomach. Also, the all-over 'itchies' when I first started taking the medicine. Both of these can be prevented by eating with the medicine and taking an antihistamine with it."

"Started going to Walgreens for medicine because it's preferred by my insurance. I was getting acetaminophen with oxycodone through CVS but a different brand other than Mallinckrodt and they were working halfway decent. These from Mallinckrodt with 10/325 and M523 on the other side are like taking a placebo. It takes more than what I was taking and I was starting to lower my dose down for breakthrough pain. I'm not getting as much pain relief as I was before on the other brand that was white and round carried by CVS. I've had a bilateral mastectomy for breast cancer with complications that left me in chronic pain. Then I got thyroid cancer that required thyroid removal that increased my pain. I've had problems breathing with feeling like my throat is closing. I thought it was just me until I came here. Report it to the FDA!"

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have been on Percocet for 16 years I started out with low-grade Vicodin I have taken name brand with no problems when they switch me to generic I had some problems with the way they affected me they didn't seem to work as good but when they switch the generic brand to another generic brand I had an upset stomach and a very bad rash sometimes you have to take the name brand instead of generics even though they say the generics are the same they are not I could tell the difference but I have tried Oxycontin and had a very bad itching and a rash so I guess I'm stuck on then I have days I take more than I'm supposed to in the morning and do with out later but the pain is so bad it's almost suicidal"

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I am 68. I have pain in my back and legs every day which is worsened by standing or walking, so I sit almost all the time in my recliner. I go to a pain clinic and have tried Morphine, Fentanyl, and Dilaudid. None of these helped. In fact, at higher dosages they actually made the pain unbearable. Percocet is the only med that works for me, and when I first took it I felt like it was a miracle. I am prescribed Percocet 5x a day, Tizadine for spasms and Tramadol for breakthrough pain. I can actually garden outside again and have once again become active. I jjust hope I don't develop a tolerance because the doctor said this is as high as I can go, and I don't know where else I could turn. Percocet has truly given me my life back!"

"I’ve never looked up a medication before but I have chronic arthritis of the spine and it’s only getting worse. I didn’t look at my medication I just assumed it was the same as usual. I always take a half dose in the morning and half a dose approximately every three to four hours through out the day. I only need 25-30mgs a day to get me through my day. Well today something was off. I started feeling so much pain, I had stomach cramps, my spine and shoulders could barely move. I couldn’t believe I was taking another half a dose within another hour and a half. Then I felt nauseated. I took the bottle and looked at the pills and saw they were not the same. I am a half a dose away from my full daily dose and feel NO EFFECTS from this medication. I just took an entire pill, something I haven’t done since my spine surgery 5 years ago. I can barely move and my legs are starting to ache. I thought they gave me placebos so I looked them up. I will no longer get my prescriptions at CVS."
