Just got Camber Pharm generic Percocet at Walgreens instead of the Actavis brand. It's giving me an upset stomach and causing me to feel weird. Has anyone else had a similar reaction?

I'm so glad you are getting some relief. I was in a hurry this morning getting ready for an appt and forgot to say that. Also, Im very sorry that Wallgreens treated you like that. It's so infuriating and emotionally traumatizing to suffer while the rich get richer. Then on top of it, the people responsible pretend like they dont know; when really they dont give a damned. I recently picked up a script for zofran (generic of course) and didnt check but it was a different manufacturer. I dont need it often. The pills were so bitter, they made me gag. I complained and the pharmacist gave me a bottle of the glenmark manufacturer that I had before. However, he informed me that the other brand would be the only one they have in the future. Now I have to find where I can get that. I asked about the price to buy the name brand Zofran. $365 for 30 pills. This generic drug business is nothing but a racket. No one can tell me that generics are the same nor is the purpose to lower the price of name brand. Im sure our president and all of our representatives dont use this generic garbage.

You can't find any pharmacy that has the Actavis? Someplace other than Walgreen's?

Guess I am lucky because my Walgreens has brought it back in after many complaints.

I filed a complaint to the FDA. My primary complaint was the dye. I have an allergy and their website and initial allergen information had this drug listed as "dye free" yet listed the dyes in the ingredients. Luckily I read both sections. They use a different color for each. I was taking the 5/325 prior to my surgery which Camber's version has blue dye. Luckily i took screenshots of everything because after filing my complaint, Camber me an email stating their ingredients and allergen info did call out dyes. They had changed it. And more than just the dye free issue. I sent them the screenshot and called them out on it. I'm just thankful my allergy is not life-threatening. But it's scary because if they're careless with listing allergen info they could kill somebody. From what everybody has been writing I'm pretty sure these pills are full of everything except the medication they should contain.

My stomach is still having major problems. The camber caused my stomach to be one huge ulcer that I had breeding from. Medication for stomach is very slowly helping and since I was back on actavis, I have no upper stomach bleeding but it's healing very slow. I've never had anything to cause my upper stomach problems in my life. I didn't need this on top of all I'm already going through with severe pain from lots of broken bones and some things can never be fixed. I've accepted I have to live with extreme chronic pain as most if u all here but again, I did not ask for my stomach to be turned inside out. Percocet camber made me so sick, on some says I ate baby food. Yes, baby food. That's all my stomach could handle. My diet when on camber was mostly sugar free ice cream. Out of the 30 days I was on the camber, I was out of bed only 4 days. That is not pain management. Pain management is to help us live our lives and do the best we can. Not stay in bed. That is not me. I have about 25 camber pills here locked up in a safe after I was told they smelled like "hard apple cider" and not take another one from a professional and i didn't. The pharmacist (second professional) backed up the strong vinegar cider smell. It was like pouring hard cider on my stomach. I can't imagine ever putting one if those back in my stomach and I never will. We all should never be looked down on, and we must be treated with respect in the drug store. After all my scripts are written by one of the best, the strictest PM doc and I like the pill count and drug panel every 30 days. And believe me...he's very smart. Ones who don't like it do not have true chronic pain. Common sense. Didn't mean to get off topic. Accent and camber called me. They were the third ones who told me NOT TO TAKE THEIR CAMBER BRAND AND TAKE THE LETTER TO MY DOC AND PHARMACIST. THEY KNEW HOW SICK IT WAS MAKING ME. ACCENT PHARMACUTUCLES MAKES THE PERCOCET FOR CAMBER. I have the letter. Wish it could be posted but it can't. God Bless us all.

Do u know what pain management Is? I'm lucky to have one of the best. Pill counts and drug panels every appointment. Happy it's like that. Weeds out the wrong people. Let just say I followed orders. What I did right led me to the actavis I'm taking now. Hope that helped. Best advice I have is always follow your doctor's orders along with communication.

When your in pain management.. there comes rules. I would never break the rules if my life depended on it because I want to be a patient of my p.m. doc for as long as he sees patients as myself. Many rules on his part, many rules on our part. I do not complain at all for my monthly pill count and drug panel. Frankly I like it that way. Bit of advice... Never Never Never seek out another doctor. You will lose what doctor u have right away and I would never on my life take such a stupid chance. That is just so stupid. The ones that do that are not truly serious about their pain management therapy. I'm not a fool.

I think Google is not our friend when we’re searching for negative effects on certain items if their cheeping out and screwing us on the active ingredient in the generic and filling it with crap what’s to stop them from paying off Google to not show the negative side effects? I'm surprised people found this in the first place, by this I mean the thread that I started on medschat.

My normal pharmacy didn't have enough to fill my prescription for the first time in about 6 years. Since I've always went to same pharmacy got the M ones I can't remember the manufacturer I didn't think twice about what generic I'd get or how different they would be somewhere else. So off I go to Walgreens since they were closest and I had to get to work. Well I got the Cambers and they are definitely ineffective and cause side effects. I will say the side effects have lessened over the last 10 days and I take Pepto about 20mins before my perc dose time but never again will I go there and never again will I not first ask what mfr they use. These Cambers are bad Something def not right but luckily for me as of now I think I can make it through to my next fill without too much trouble. I do think taking the Pepto helps somewhat though to minimize the stomach issues.

I've have been taking 4 different kinds of 10/325 oxycodone and they all have been changed. Yes they help some, which is better than nothing. Opioids have a 100 yrs of notoriety in the US. The effects of opioid agonists is nothing new; HARRISON NARCOTICS ACT 1914. As I am typing this, a bill is up to vote on that will stop medicare/cade from paying for pain meds, then Insurance will follow. Check out NATIONAL PAIN REPORT. These Dr's that have a couple of cysts on their backs and think these cysts are wings sprouting are making money off the government and Insurance companies from LETS MAKE AMERICA SOBER AGAIN bs clinics. They know opioids are the only way to stop pain and that's why they still make opioids without the blockers in them for hospice patients and hospitals. Reports that says 12 yr olds are doing opioids is nothing but BULL S***... Where would a 12yr old get the money to buy it and who would sell it to a 12 yr old? This is being used by the fake news and the people on this crusade to stop opioids from being used for pain relief. More than likely they had a relative with a mental issue that didn't know any better be caused they didn't get the medical help they needed. Mental health problems are overlooked because no one wants to think their child or loved one needs it. It's just like these school shootings, taking the gun away isn't going to stop it just like taking OPIOIDS away isn't going to stop people with MENTAL issues from taking their lives or someone else's life. People want to blame something other than putting the blame where it should be, MENTAL problems, but they cant except that.
