Actavis/watson Percocet (Top voted first)

Both my mom and I are chronic pain suffers. I have had 3 back surgeries and she has had 1 and has osteoarthritis. Actavis percocet are really bad. No good for pain even at 10/325. She was taking Lortab 10/500 and since the switch she has had hives, nausea, ringing in the ears. We believe it is the pain pills causing the problem. Anyone else having these type problems?

ACTAVIS MAKES PEOPLE SICK. Have taken Percocet (generic) for years since back surgery. Got normal refill one day...within an hour I was projectile vomiting and dizzy for hours. Now can only take Amneal because also have always been allergic to the fillers in Endocet (which bought Percocet so now makes both Endo and Brand but Endo still makes me sick)..so I have to find usually grocery stores to give Amneal which helps 50% but at least doesn't make me sick. This is awful.

This is great info, my hubby and I are both chronic pain suffers. He's had ringing in his ears, hives and SEVERE itching from Actavis. We have been repeatedly told that there is no difference and this is unrelated. I have noticed the ineffectiveness myself in the 10/325, and you are absolutely correct there is such a stigma with pain meds nowadays it is so hard to get people to believe you when you tell them,'it isn't working correctly' or 'it isn't working well like it was'. I thought possibly it was a build up of tolerance and it may partially be, but seriously I am so glad I looked into this.

Hello Reba! How are you both doing? I am very sorry about the problems that you're having.

Rather than taking Percocet, the doctor could still prescribe something with Hydrocodone in it, if that's what works better, it is still available, just with the lower amounts of Acetaminophen.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.
