"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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?"

"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 have 2 torn discs in my lower back and Lumbar Facet Syndrome (joints). My job is extremely physical. I've been on EVERYTHING! Nothing works as well as this. I'm able to do my job and play with my kids."

"I suffer from severe neuropathy from my diabetes and have been on several pain medicines in the past. The last one was Lortab 10/500mg and did not take away all my pain. I was hurting after 3 hours of taking it. I was put on Percocet 10/325 by my doctor and I could not believe what a difference it has made in my life. I feel like I have my quality of life back. I can get around better and do not stay in bed most of the day from the pain. I was so depressed from being in so much pain. Now I am up and moving around better than I have in 2 years. I thank God my doctor has taken the time to listen to me and finally put me on something that works. He left me on the Lortab as well for breakthrough pain medicine but I have not had to use it."

"I have Multiple Sclerosis and I have chronic back and legs pain along with headaches and I have tried about everything else in the book and nothing seems to work except this. Take 1, 15, 20 minutes later it kicks in and pain is gone for a while (about 5 hours)."

"As a sufferer of chronic pain for 15 years, I finally feel better. Recently, I blew out my shoulder and have severe neck issues which unfortunately I need surgery for both. Don't know if it's just me but Mallinckrodt pills with the imprint M 523 have finally been the medication that has and is saving me from a deep dark depression. Thank God there are the means to do this now with insurance benefits from work because had this been 9 months ago, I'd be totally screwed. This is on top of all the chronic pain I've suffered for so long. Went through it the past 6 or 7 years without medication needed. These 2 newer injuries are absolutely kicking my ass. These pills in particular have been godsent so much so that my pharmacist promised that these pills that I'm speaking of, M 523, would be what they give me from here on out. Strongly recommend these for sufferers out there."

"I have had 3 back surgeries by the time I was 25 years old. I have degenerative disc condition and on top of that, I was involved in an accident at work which resulted in a herniated disc. I went through a discectomy, a spinal fusion, and a correction surgery. Needless to say, I have A LOT of hardware in my back! Percocet was wonderful. It made my recovery bearable and living a somewhat normal life. Unfortunately, I'd been on it for 3 years and then my doctor cut me off cold turkey and told me to take Tylenol extra strength. The withdrawals are awful and I'm still living in awful pain, but I had 3 years with mild to no pain with Percocet!"

"My pharmacy changed to this manufacturer. Wow. What a difference in strength. I thought it was me, too, till I read the reviews! Now what do I do. I’m stuck with 30 days of meds. More expensive, too."

"After being on for 10 years or more I find now even my pain management doctor as to cut my meds thanks to the new FDA guide lines ,the FDA is so worried about overdose on opoiods because other people has abused them but have forgot about those who do need pain meds. I've heard it all in the last three months from my doctor I even had to change 3 of my other medications because I can't be on them if I am taking pain meds To me ever since that most states made Marijuana legal the FDA as turned to people taking pain meds guess they can't control the other un legal stuff out their so they try and put the focus on pain meds even though the FDA says that we would not take pain meds away from Those who need it .. guess what FDA you have !!!! get your facts FDA"

"I’ve had 5 major spine surgeries and well over 30 spine surgical procedures. I’ve currently been diagnosed with 7 bulging thoracic discs on top of my hardware repaired cervical spine and hardware repaired lumbar spine. My pain was managed adequately with 10/325 of Percocet from Mallinckrodt. I have noticed without a doubt the difference between Camber, Amneal and another which have no effect on my chronic pain. My pharmacy was out of 10/325 for a week, and when I finally was able to pick up my prescription I didn’t even question wether it was a different manufacturer. Upon looking at the medication I immediately noticed the difference. Needless to say it has absolutely no effect on my pain. It’s an absolute outrage that our government(s) allow these foreign companies to get away with this and allow legitimate patients suffer for no good reason."

"I'm an aka amputee with severe neuroma's & phantom pains. Also had Carpal tunnel surgery from being on crutches for 25 yrs. I've been on 3-5 a day Percocet 10/325 for a few yrs. Now its a life saver. It allows me to better quality of life! Sometimes I have to have break through meds when the pain gets above a 9. But the Percocets really do work well. I've tried Vicodin, methadone, Diluadid none worked as well as the Percocets!"

"This is a comment directed at one specific manufacture, Camber Pharma. 31722 I have been on this strength medication for a couple of years and manage fairly well until my insurance insisted this manufacture is all they will allow. I now get headaches and upset stomach and do not feel it is as effective for the pain as Percocet in non-generic form. This formula just does not work and is not worth the side effects."

"It helps. I need 2 in the AM to function without serious pain issues. Later , if I am hurting, I take one more. It gets me through the day. I get an Injection about every 4 mos. I'm 78 yrs old and in good physical shape ( not over weight, etc.) I had 2 operations about 2 years 16 years ago for spinal stenosis issue. I was litrerally crawling up the stairs to my home and in excruciating pain. 2 operations later, I was out of pain for a few years. The lower back pain came back a few years ago; MRI disclosed 2 spondys in my lower back (L1-L5). Three neuro surgeons agreed that I needed a total back re-construction ( 10 screws and 5 rods);there was no guarantee that I would be out of pain. I did not agree, found 10/325 and it works"

"My pharmacy ran out of my usual brand of Percocet and gave me this one in its place. It is awful. I did not get one bit of relief from my pain with this brand. There is no narcotic in this at all. I even took 2 at a time and nothing. It only hurt my stomach and made my heart race for a minute. I am not happy and now have to wait 28 days until I can get another prescription."

"I went for a over a year of burning and stiffening pain in my neck & shoulders. I was put on Hydrocodone to help with the pain. Finally went to a neurosurgeon & he ordered an MRI, found out I have DDD and 2 collapsed discs c5-c7. I was scheduled for ACDF surgery in February. After my surgery my pain doctor & my neurosurgeon agreed to put me on Percocet 10/325 & along with Tizanidine 4mgs (to help with muscle spasms) & was so thankful they did, it really helped ease the pain. 7 months post-op and I'm still on both meds because I'm having difficulty with the fusion taking hold. Going in for another epidural & trigger point injections. Hope this helps!"

"Must admit, that I only read a few comments. Only because I'm tired. But, I am astonished that I haven't read (or missed READING), what I consider to be the biggest problem. Not the only one, but from my experience the biggest. Doctors very routinely advise you to "STAY AHEAD OF THE PAIN". Now there is a presciption for addiction, if I ever heard of one. How, pray tell, do you know when the pain has run it's course and there is no longer any PAIN TO STAY AHEAD OF?"

"This has been a miracle drug for me. I had a severe knee fracture, followed by OA. The pain can be unreal! This medicine allows me to work, do my household chores, well..to have a life again! When severe flare up's begin, it lowers my pain to a 2, seriously without it, I would be spending most of my time on the couch. It has truly been a blessing for me giving me my life back."
