Percocet And Generic Apap / Oxycodone Ingredient Changes (Page 2)

Have noticed an extreme difference in the effectiveness along with suddenly, after as a legitimate chronic pain patient for 15 years with no problems, horrible side effects, no pain relief as if I’m taking a sugar pill. This has seemingly been done behind our backs. We have a right to know what we are dealing with here.

You need to find out the manufactures of the kinds of generics you’re getting look at the bottle or call the pharmacy and ask. And I’ll try to help. I know this all is a hot mess. Trust me it’s done one hell of a number on me as well. I literally tried out the Rhodes/Perdue generic again from saved and that has been the biggest part of my crazy tremors that is not normal I’m not one who gets any of the rare side affects at all I’m not delicate at all I’ll get the most common maybe but a lot of times I won’t even get that so it’s the drug . I said crazy sciatic nerve pain as a way to describe it but it’s tremors . Save all of your bottles. Honestly don’t go down the opiate path if you are not well off money wise and can stick with only brand and even then I feel there’s definitely an opiate agenda going down. Or kratom powder it’s natural and in the coffee like family but most strains don’t even give you jitters . Then I capsule it myself. They are trying to scare people but at the worse case you get a slight headache no bad side affects at. Usually I’d say take controlled as least as possible but the more of a drug list you have being filled the more likely they are also to give you a bad generic because if you are taking several drugs who’s to say which is doing which. And thats awful I know but the first thing they are gonna ask when you report a crappy generic what else are you on what symptoms or health issues do you have. Say with everything going on with the endless amount of third world less monitored poor quality controlled generics being poured through you only feel comfortable taking one drug at a time period. Unless you know meds very well and manufactures this is the wrong time to be new to pharma cause even us ones in the Game a long time and no a lot they keep throwing us curveballs. And doing endless amounts of changes both to the insurances and the medications Serious changes. I literally would give you my number I need to catch up on somethings but I don’t want anyone in this world to go through what I’ve beeb through several endless cycles and single with no kids and I really know the medical system but managed Medicaid and the changes got us all even the drs . I had to spend 24/7 reading and researching everything from diet to tolietries to water air etc and those are very big factors no one is really looking out for us ! Like they should we have chemicals in our food and tolietries that can cause our pain and mental health to be thrown even cooking with foil yet we put it in our arm pits! Had you told me this years and years ago I’d be like okay get out of here with that 60s hippies love guru hug a tree go green vegan mess lol but it’s facts! Nuero toxins mess up make us have pain and dementia. And the more of it we take in the worse off we are . Now on to the Xanax most drs are not gonna let you have an opiate and benzo together but for me I said benzo alone before an opiate alone cause opiates alone can make you on edge . Bacoflen was decent bsck in the day same with skelaxin and yes eventually muscle relaxers stop working but for me personally so many things that used to have a mild groggy or slight tired affect now have a huge groggy affect . If you got crazy chronic pain it ain’t gonna do much Try and reserve it for when your pain is so so and see if it does much for you taking it alone . Best of luck . Take me serious on going through your diet and tolietries and good drinking water and no Flouride or aluminum no nuero toxins for pain people period !!!

Re: Aguywhocaresaboutothers38 (# 20)

Thank you ! You know so much! With my brain injury, I feel like they could pull anything on me and I wouldn’t know what to do because my processing is a bit slow. So, what should I do? I was already messed up with The use of Reglan for my Gastroparesis. This has been only a 6 year process for me, and I don’t know how you guys can take all the issues with meds. It started with what they said was reflux in 10/2012. Then they said it was my gallbladder, took it out and I woke up with the worst gi symptoms I ever had. Then I was just so gi sick that I was totally dehydrated, passed out in the shower and landed on my head and when I woke up I still had the gi issues, and now had the worst headaches I ever had which gave me the dx of migraines. My brain injury symptoms got worse and worse so they said I had a diffuse atonal injury. Then my gi issues turned them to a specialist who diagnosed me with Gastroparesis. I took the Reglan while in the physical rehab hospital and I was just barfing all the time, every meal. So then I had lost so much weight, I had to get a feeding tube, then a port, now a picc line. Then suddenly I got lock jaw and then crazy muscle movements so they said no more Reglan. But then the symptoms laid somewhat dormant for a while. They came on full force last spring and I was put on IV Cogentin which with the Xanax ER, was trying to erase my memory. Now I take the Baclofen, and it helps a lot but I get breakthroughs of the bad dramatic body twisting dystonia and they seem to come between the doses of Baclofen...I take 10mg in the am, 5 mg in the afternoon and 10 mg at night. Is that a really low dose? I also take ropinorole for restless legs. I just need help. I’m so afraid of all these meds, but have also experienced relief from many of them. We are pretty sure when they removed my gallbladder, they injured my vagus nerve which can reek havoc in a body as it travels all around in your torso. So lots of abdominal pain, lots of muscle and joint pain, migraine pain.......help?

Re: Mejane (# 11)

I'm sure physical pain is challenging, but at least there are meds to make it go away. Listen when I say that there is nothing worse than treatment resistant depression. I was 38 when it started and at age 60 my doctor found an off label med that worked. For 2 years I had my life back. But no one will help me now that I need more than the recommended dose - which is for narcolepsy. So I'm 62 and back in the black hole. As bad as physical pain is, depression is so much worse. Especially when there's no treatment, or someone decides how much you can take. It is cruel and inhumane to do this when someone is suffering.

Re: Diane (# 24)

Please you need to actually give kratom a shot order it and capsule it and take 1-3 tablespoons

It works plus there are other things just until you can get what you need but trust me it’s strong for natural and detoxes you from chemicals that make the pain worse.,

I no longer take Percocet. I do take 10 mg Norco made by Mallinkrod. I know many don't like them, but I haven't noticed any difference between it and other brands. I hope those of you with Percocet issues get it straightened out. Some seem to have issues with CVS. Why not check out other pharmacies?

A bit off topic but still informational.

Sacramento, CA – A new bill calls for the end of pharmaceutical companies ‘pay-for-delay’ tactics regarding patents.

California’s Attorney General Xavier Becerra partnered with Assembly member Jim Wood (D-Santa Rosa) to introduce AB 824. The bill would stop pharmaceutical companies from pocketing billions in profits by using a “pay-for-delay” practice that results in an extension of their patents on brand name drugs beyond what Congress intended in the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984. That practice typically allows brand name drug manufacturers to pay competing generic drug manufacturers to delay bringing a cheaper version of the drug to market.

For example, Becerra shares, “Take the case of the drug Cipro. It’s a common place antibiotic manufactured by Bayer. The pharmaceutical company held a patent on the drug that was set to expire in 2003. So, what Bayer did was it reached a deal with many of its rivals, paying them $400 million dollars to keep their drugs off of the market for six years.” He added that during those years, Bayer raised the price of a single pill to $5.30. Once those agreements ended the pill’s price dropped to 17 cents.”

Re: rammsteinfan (# 7)

Absolutely 100% agree! I’m also on Norco and Oxycodone and when the “Opioid crisis” began my meds no longer worked. I’ve said it for years I think their messing with the meds. I’ve been a chronic pain patient going on 18 years and my meds always worked, then one month it stopped and I know damn well it’s not tolerance. I work in a pharmacy and always hope to hear something about it but no of course not!

BIGY pharmacy has been giving me (2) different containers, claiming that some are from one manufacturer and the others are from another.
They look exactly the same but one of the containers is a weak-version.
I think they are trying to trick me to believe I am getting the same med.
I can barely move when I took the ones in the container with less pills.
Obviously, not as effective but who would test them to be sure?
I have 9 levels TOTAL fused between my lumbar spine and cervical spine.
Arachnoditis from a cerebrospinal dura tear during 1 of 3 fusions.
