Bad Oxycodone N/p 15
UpdatedI am 35 and was recently hurt bad on a construction site. I've been getting 15mg oxycodone every month (the small round green ones). I've had the (M) brand the (V) brand the A 214 brand and all have been good. Tuesday I filled my script and they give me these large oval pills N/P ON ONE SIDE, 15 THE OTHER. Well they are so horrible - they are worse than Tylenol. They relieve no pain they don't help me sleep. No tired feeling or anything before I took 1. My pain level was a 10, and an hour later still a 10. They do not work. This morning I took a higher dose and felt no relief at all. 3 months ago was the first time I ever took a pain pill so it isn't me. If the pharmacy ever hands you this brand hand it right back or you will be furious.

Hello, Tony! How are you? I am very sorry bout the problem you're having.
Under the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984, generics are allowed to differ from the name brand in the amount of the active ingredient by as much as plus or minus 20%. The FDA considers that to be an acceptable therapeutic window.
However, they do not have to measure against other generics, only against the name brand, which means it is possible to suddenly get one that is higher or lower in the amount of the active ingredient than a prior one that you were taking. Most people do not ever notice a difference, but if you're sensitive to medications, or have been taking one for a long time, it could cause issues.
The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.
Is there anything else I can help with?
