Camber Pharmaceuticals Generic Percocet (Page 2) (Top voted first)

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?

Hi, do you know why everyone has the camber mfr? I'm familiar with the pharmaceutical company. I have a bottle of pain medicine from camber that has 100 pills. The pharmacy pays $20.00 a bottle from Actavis that has 100 pills, but they have to pay $117.00. This is why everyone has camber on hand. It's all about the money they can make. They don't give a crap about how many people are in agony because their pain is no longer controlled!!! I'm very afraid for myself and all the people who suffer from chronic pain. We are all screwed!

Oh I so agree. I have been on Percocet and generics for this medication for years from crushed bones in leg and back from accident. It takes a long time and alot of test ,xrays, etc to get a very good Pain Management doctor and I found a very good one 4 years ago. My body is changed forever, my life, but I have been looking on the positive side, managing the best I can. Now?? The last week I have been in bed everyday not being able to hold my head up from these "CAMBER" posion pills. I looked and found the INSERT, but took me forever and I see the amount of medication we are getting. Barely over 8 mg. of the 10 mg,.. but the worst part are the fillers and binders. I have never in my life ever had a few of these in my other generics. I do my homework because I want to know what I am putting in my body. This is insane! One of them closest to the top is an alcohol used in MOTOR oil for our cars. it says on the insert,...what it doesent contain but does say contains... ALCOHOL. I have been so sick as all of you. My headache is explosive, my eyes are sensitive, everything hurts, severe stomach cramps, very nervous to the point I cant sit without shaking visibly. Also there is NO PAIN RELIEF at all. These is something very wrong here. Now it will be a month, before I can refill again, and Im scard to death to take another one of these. I dont know what to do? It makes me feel like I need to be rushed to the hospital. Never had an experience like this in my life.

I'm desperately trying to pretend that life is easy breeezy one two three just put the pain out of my head and get on with life, do the ordinary, put laundry away that has been sitting in baskets, do dishes, back on couch again, the pain is relentless, tears rolling down cheeks, take one of these pain pills that have the word oxy. Yeah right, sure, it's going to work this time change attitude, be positive and hope, hope that maybe in this prescription there is a mistake and I will get a pill that gives me relief, still waiting, so much misssery this small little pill has caused, the lies, the sickness, the swamp we are being thrown into, I'm at my end, I'm not one to throw in the towel, been through more than any human should endure, but this one is to big to conquer, this one is taking me down a road that I'm sure isn't the outcome that "They" perceived, or maybe they did, maybe just maybe conquering this epic opioid crisis included throwing chronic pain people down the drain, oh wait, you don't want to give up your pain pills, pills that are killing you. I suggest you get psychological help. You must. Don't you know that depression causes pain! Hmmmm I thought pain causes depression, my head is spinning my spine is screaming, psych. Ok call psych. Dr., do you think that my mommy and daddy have something to do with the stabbing pain running down my back. I can't seem to get relief, my pain pills are a ghost of something that used to be real, dr, am I imagining that my personal pain management is spiraling out of control due to the laws put on dr's to reduce opioids and not the pain. Am I imagining that people in chronic debilitating pain are being treated like drug dealers/ addicts / criminals who pray on the innocent, who reading this has been treated with understanding and compassion? Who reading this is doing so from either bed or couch? Who reading this would love one day, just one to go shopping, hold hands on a walk, make plans for a evening out, clean up your house? Remember back in the good old days when your pain medication abled you to kinda sorta do that? I haven't been here for some time, I apologize for not returning a timely response to some of you that have asked, but as you all know, pain in its chronic state is not a good friend to anyone, bless you all. Thank you for caring.

Re: Susan (# 35)

The is something called "The prescription monitoring program" (keeps track of your usage according to the dosage on the bottle) that the pharmacist checks. Once due to lack of communication, the doctor wrote my script for immediate release oxy; instead of percocet. I didnt notice and had a bad reaction. It was the weekend and the Doc told me to go to the ER and take the pills. He gave me script after checking my record (pmp). He said just give the pills back to the doctor and he had no problem giving me 15 until I got to the my next doctor appt. I went and got it filled but had to pay $30 for 15 pills. The doctor even called the pharmacist and notified the insurance company that it was an error and he had approval. They refused to pay. So it had nothing to do with control. They just didnt want to pay. I even tried to fight it but they made such a federal case out of it, I gave up; just like they hope you do. If your doctor is willing to take the pills you have and write a new script (note on it early refill), you should be able to fill it but may have to pay. Lots of fun and games.

Think about this, what if your pain got worse legitimately and needed more and the doctor ordered more. The insurance should pay. Out one breath If you ask the insurance company if something is covered; they say it up to your Doctor. These lousy insurance companies look for any excuse not to pay.

Re: Mark (# 321)

That's an excellent post, Mark! Thank you for speaking the truth about what this country has become, as it is only through recognition of what's happening that we can all make a shift to a better reality and future for generations to come.

Presently, pain patients have to submit to this austerity or resort to natural and alternatives means of relief/therapy in an effort to not buy into and fund big pharma's oligarchy every time we fill a prescription or visit a mainstream doctor (puppet).

The writing is on the wall for all to see. I just hope we can all work together for this common cause and realize who the real enemy is. It's not our pain; but our society's passive approval to support the flawed infrastructure of this country in our daily lives has allowed corrupt organizations/corporations to flourish. We vote with the way we spend our money and if something doesn't work (such as Camber Percocet) then hopefully more patients will stop buying into it as well as this theory that the medical industry has our best interests at heart... At what price?

Hi all,

I started this thread asking a simple question and have been shocked by all of the responses. I foolishly thought one or two. So sad to see so many of us in the same boat. Chronic pain, and we are at the mercy of drug stores, pharmacies, insurance companies and the govt. On twitter I started the #patientNOTaddict. I still use walgreens after a discussion with the regional pharmacy rep about how I felt I was being treated like a JUNKIE. It's a lot better limping into the store now. I have tried to contact class action law firms regarding a suit against Camber. So far NO firm wants to touch it. WE HAVE to stand firm and hound our do nothing politicians that chronic pain cannot be cured with one motrin.

Re: Big red balloon (# 371)

Big red balloon,

Hugs...from my couch to yours. I see you've been to the dumpster today. Me too. Words like you have spoken come from despair (the dumpster, down in the dumps). Now if we'd just get some stinking help for our depression, we wouldn't be meeting like this....at the dump. Lol. Sorry, a bit of dark humor on a dark day. They, the professionals, have this soooo back-assward! So they want us to get off our couches to come to their couches. Talk about "it". Our need for love, our lack of fullfillment, our present hopelessness. And then....we won't need all those nasty little pills. Because, it's not pain, doncha know? It's depression. Funny, some of us have never truly known real depression. Well.....not until they quit treating our chronic pain. Then......when a few poor souls decide to end their lives, due to unrelenting pain,.....tadaaaaaa! You see, it WAS depression. Untreated....DEPRESSION! Oh my, what a world we presently find ourselves in.

Big Red, I am so sorry you are in such a world of hurt. You and many others. You are so not alone, but many lack the words to describe despair, as you have. My participation in the world around me has everything to do with being able to control the beast. The one in my joints, my head, my neck, my feet. That beast. The one we all know so well. So, maybe we ARE getting to know that other beast (depression), but that is due to doctors who are (rightfully, in many cases) afraid to treat our pain, for fear of losing their liscence. And THAT is due to dogooder politicians, who end up doing no good for people like us. Abusers will still abuse. But at least they can say they've done THEIR part, by golly. See how many fewer pain pills that are being perscribed? God help us all. Please.

We have to outsmart the idiots who are running our control and playing Doctor.

I meant the idiots who are running our Country and playing Doctor. Sorry, I do get worked up when I talk about this. Oh, but how I love to expose them anymore. The hell they put people through and could care less. The health care system is broken, broken, broken. Anyone who thinks they are looking out for us should do some research. Its allllll about profit.

People say they want single payer. Do some research or go to the DMV and wait in line for 3hrs for a simple transaction and you might change your mind about the government running your health care. If they ever accomplish single payer; you can bet our politicians will not have the same. They will have 5 star health care, just as they do now. Our veterans get poor health while the powers that be discuss free health care for non-citizens. Free is a word used to pander for votes. Dishonesty about deaths caused by prescription opiods gets votes. Not that Im fond of the person that said this; "Fake News." I think our politicians and media consist of a bunch of hateful, narcissistic juveniles. Anybody who is honest, sincere and has common sense is voted out.

Just got switched to Camber and had the same problem, only with ringing in my ears and a stomach issue with no pain relief. The Rx can't be changed. I walked away trusting it would be ok. Wrong! Our pharmacy is following orders over them. There are those who care but the buck don't stop with them. What do we do? Remember where funding comes from. I pray we all get back to being pain-free which seems like a whole lifetime ago. Be safe and well.

Just filled my monthly script yesterday at Walgreens for Percocet 7.5. Last night I took the first one at 6p. Noticed they were not the same manufacture. I've been on Percocet for 3yrs for spinal stenosis and severe scholios. The manufacture I'm used to is Activis. I can take my last dose at 6p and make it thru the night. NOT last night! So this morning at 9a I took one and I feel like I haven't taken anything. In fact I feel like I'm having withdrawal symptoms. I can't afford to increase my dosage and then come up short at the end of the month. The smell when I open the bottle is very off putting. I will not be filling my script at Walgreens again if this is the manufacture they will be using.

Re: Lildarlin (# 43)

I would like to know where you found the insert/ingredients. I Had to use the poison for 22 days and my symptoms are the same as yours; stomach burning, now neck and collarbone pain, shakiness, extreme tiredness, blurry vision, on and on. My palliative doctor gave me a new script; because Wallgreens in my area got a supply of the Actavis back. What hassle it was to get it approved. The medicaid insurance denied the script at first. I called them and went ballistic. I said people are suffering. I threatened that if they didnt do something, I would find the strength to contact someone who would. I told them I had heart attack symptoms with this poison. Very upsetting. The next morning she called the Doctor and the pharmacist and it was approved. WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS. IT'S CRIMINAL. Anyhow I have been back on the Actavis for only 4 days and the side effects are still bad. The only relief I've had is not as much gas but still burning in my stomach and everything else this poison has caused. I'm concerned about permanent damage. I see my primary care Monday (if I can make it) and she really cares. She is MD/Do doctor. Some doctors should take lessons from her. I would love to know how you found the ingredients before i go. I tried and the pharmacist dont know. It's despicable that they distribute medications and we dont even know the ingredients. We can read the ingredients on every over the counter drug our food but something as important as ingredients in our prescription meds is hidden from us. My pharmacist said (sarcastically); I know you dont want to hear this but we're supposed to trust the government. He already knows that I DON'T!

Walgreens filled a prescription of Percocet that is a new generic manufactured by Camber. Blue with a T 192 on one side. I've been on and off pain meds for twenty years, and have never had any side effects. Especially, constipation! I've had too many side effects to list over the last month. The technician at Walgreens told me they used that new generic, because of a nationwide shortage of the other generic Percocet. REALLY? C'mon, MAN!

I devolved a problem with my stomach lining from taking to many Dulcalax. Threw up the first night I took them. Was nauseous for 3 weeks until I quit taking it. My general practitioner and PA with my pain doctor couldn't even find the med for 10 minutes on the Internet. Both thought there was weird "ingredients" in the med. Does anyone know if alcohol is an "ingredient"? And, a form of an antidepressant? I've never had any problem with my stomach or intestines, but had to have a special cat scan on my stomach at an ER. Two trips to an urgent care and a visit to my GP. So, Camber cost me a lot of $$$$$! And, three weeks of my life I won't get back!

Is anyone else tired of the government propaganda classifying EVERYBODY who's prescribed opioids as a DRUG ADDICT? Most of the opioid overdoses are from an opioid called, Fentanyl. Not Vicodin or Percocet. And, I believe, it's probably easier to get illicit drugs off the streets than it is to get a prescription for opioids today. It's so closely regulated that most dentists and GP's won't even consider prescribing opioids. So, if anyone can inform me of the chemical makeup of the new generic Percocet by Camber I'd greatly appreciate it.

P.S. My pain doctor is switching me to Vicodin. Hopefully, my physical health will return to normal.

I got the Camber brand from Walgreens on Jan. 3rd. I got a rash on my hands and arms for the first 2 days. I had to take Benadryl around the clock. Along with that, I was very nauseous. I am prescribed Zofran 8mg which always prevents me from vomiting. Well, not this time!!!! I had to literally run to the toilet to throw up. I felt so weak and thought I was going to faint. This feeling lasted for a week and a half until I finally stopped taking it. For that entire week and a half I felt absolutely no pain relief whatsoever. I am prescribed this for Severe Atypical Intractable Headaches (daily that never go away since age 5, so, 31 years) as well as bulged discs and facet joint arthropathy following a head-on collision 14 years ago. I can not stand up for more than 20 minutes without getting severe pain. As soon as I started the Camber, I felt all of my pain, all at once, and I was stuck with this med for 30 days. I didn't ask for it to be refilled because, you know how that goes. I suffered. I should have gone to the ER, but, I was afraid they wouldn't help me and I would just feel worse after being there for hours and hours. The pain has been unbearable. My symptoms were most likely a combination of withdrawal and allergic reaction, on top of the full blown pain that comes with all of my conditions- all at once.
After 30 days, I finally picked up a new script, but, I was smart and requested a one (1) week script instead of 30 days. I knew that I would be getting another unfamiliar brand and could not take the chance of being stuck again for an entire month with something so awful. That turned out to be a great decision because I was given the Rhodes brand and I am still in severe pain. After 25 minutes, I thought I felt it starting to work, but, it just made me drowsy and kind of spaced out for about a half an hour. I tried to move around but then I felt all of my severe pain. Thank God I only have to wait another 5 days for the next batch. I am going to try Mallinkrofdt for the first time, as I have read a lot of good reviews. If that doesn't work, then I will special order either Endo (which I hear works great), or my old brand, Actavis, that I was on for years with no issues whatsoever.

So, as of now, I am on day 31 of severe, unbearable pain. I have barely slept at all in 3 days. I have had the heating pad on and off for a month. That is somewhat soothing, but, does not ease the pain at all. I take Baclofen every night, which I thought had been helping the bulged disc in my neck for the past 3years of being on it. Well, obviously not because, since starting the Camber, I have not been able to turn my neck, I feel random popping sensations followed by stabbing pain. The same thing has been happening in my back at least 10 times a day. When on my old brand, this would only happen maybe once a day-a few times a week. And I have gone months in a row without having problems with my neck while on my old brand. I had been able to go back to work (with very minimal physical activity, but, still!) I have been working now for 6 months. This past month, however, I showed up to work 2 days a week in tears. I was excused from having to do anything, I just had to be there. But, with the way I feel now, there is no way that I can make it into work this weekend. I am in so much pain that I can barely move. I have my boyfriend bring me non-perishable foods and leave them by the bed when he goes to work in the morning because I have not even been able to walk to the kitchen to make anything. Except for dragging myself to work 2 days a week, I have not left my bed in a month. Plus, I have only made it to work because I know that I can lay down when I get there. I am a CNA and my patient is asleep during my shift so I can lay down. Driving home last weekend, I had to pull over because I couldn't turn my neck at all. I sat there, pulled over for a half hour crying in pain.

It has taken all of this for me to realize just how much this med has improved my quality of life. But, now, that has all been taken away. I am not the only one suffering. What these companies are doing to these generics is taking away any quality of life and we are suffering. It is CRUEL. A month straight of non-stop, unrelenting severe pain is true torture. If "they" want to make weaker meds to stop people from getting addicted, that is fine by me, and, probably a smart decision. However, for patients who have a well-documented and clear history of severe chronic pain, have been on this med for years, pass all U/A's, and show accurate pill counts, we should have access to a med that truly works and has 100% of the active ingredient prescribed. The 20% differential allowance that I keep hearing about will make no difference to someone who is taking it for the very first time, for only a few days, following an injury or whatever, BUT, it makes a major, major difference to people who have been on it for years. We feel it. I have not changed my dose or monthly quantity in FIVE YEARS. Now, all of a sudden, it is not working anymore? I am not buying it! My tolerance has not changed. The med has!!! Sorry for such a long post. I would recommend to everyone that you ask your Dr. to write you a shorter script (5 days) that way, while searching for a new brand, you don't get stuck with a month long supply of a med that is not helping your pain and only giving you severe side effects and allergic reactions. Take care, everyone.....

Re: MeJane (# 109)

I'm very scared as to what's happening to my body. There hasn't been one day that I haven't been so sick to my stomach since Jan. 23, 2018. I don't know what it's like to be comfortable in the way of not feeling so sick. My pain is soaring because I believe the inactive ingredients override the effects of pain relief. I am shaking uncontrollably. It scares me as if my nervous system is damaged. I don't know what my pain mgmt. Doc is going to say if I'm having a very shaky spell. My phenergan was called in for nausea but it doesn't help much because it makes me so sleepy. I just take it at bedtime. The rest of the day I'm so very nausea and right now my head feels like an axe is stuck in it. I want us to all be well and no lasting side effects. I'm scared for us. We need to start a petition but I don't know how to do that. This company may say NJ, but it's out of India. India sends their medications. I don't like that. So NO means nothing. Everybody there speaks Indian and I can't understand them. We are America. Why are we buying foreign medicines anyway? I'm just so scared the way my body feels. I'm not the same person I was before Jan 23, '18. My muscles are wasting away!! Something is causing that. It's visible in some places. My stomach is making noises like it's growling but I think it's my stomach trying to reject this camber oxycodone/apap. I don't know what to do. Please help me. I'm so scared and in pain I can stop crying. I feel like I'm losing my mind!! :(

The suck a.. government we have has got on the band wagon with a few influential peoples, relatives or friends that overdosed or abused opioids. Im sorry for their loss but people with abuse tendencies show signs and when they show these signs try to help them don't try to hurt people who need opioids to live some what of a normal live because of chronic pain. Opioids only stop about 25% of pain its the euphoria filling that it give you that makes life livable for people with chronic pain. So now that they have put blockers in pain medicine to stops that feeling you are left to deal with 75% of your pain. Doctors and pharmaceutical co. know this! This is the governments way that they think they can stop opioid deaths. If people cant get that feeling that opioids give you to cope with pain then abusers want seek them so will protect them and hurt chronic pain people. (is this the new American way) hurt me because of something someone does? I personally think this opioid crises is nothing but like I said a few influential people that lost or had a friend or family member that abused opioids.They don't care about people with chronic pain nor does the government. The governments just want these people off their backs. What I don't under stand is why do people with chronic pain have to suffer for the actions of people who choose to abuse opioids, People abuse a lot of thing from twinkies to alcohol are we going to stop put alcohol in beer, liquor and wine "hell no" every one on capital hill would go crazy without a drink to get through the day. So MR GOVERNMENT put the opioid pills back the way they were and hold people accountable for their on actions and not other people, stop playing blame game these are grown ass people.
