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

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.

Also, who here gets all of a sudden crazy Sciatic nerve like pain? Anyone here on medicaid or managed medicaid or Medicare?

Time to get together and bring attention to this madness they need to pay for damages done and hope no permanent damage has been caused to us but this surely will kill people.

Crazy adverse side affects? Yeah come on, we all know a small percentage of people can have rare side affects, but too many meds doing the opposite of what they're supposed to. When people have had no issues other then maybe strengths varying over 10-20 years, and now all of sudden we’re addicts or mental LOL. Generics based on your coverage instead of everyone getting the same generics that that store happens to have on hand at that moment. And they did this whole managed Medicaid thing to make like it varies per insurance, not that it’s strictly a Medicaid and Medicare thing. But for all folks on opiates, no matter what coverage I think they're doing this. Then enough complain to the FDA and they switch up to another manufacturer, but who’s calling everyone’s lucky if they even get anything, and petrified to complain to the FDA and pharmacy. Or make too big of a deal or they’ll get cut off.

I already went through crap to get the right meds, then dropped all the weight, crappy non-controlled ones. I busted my behind hiking everyday for miles to get my body back, and then boom I got it back, and they started this managed medicaid stuff. Dropped having any kind of pain management pill. Dr who was the only one, and because of my improvement and weight loss of 90lbs, in 3 months, my primary Dr said I will continue you on them. He himself is shocked at all my knowledge.

I’m telling you the whole medical center is so slammed no one knows what I’ve learned. It’s so evil. Just think of how many people have 5-6 different things causing them adverse side affects all at once. They are probably wondering how am I even still alive lol. I am so glad when I confronted the CSV lady and said "look, I know I have a long list of meds but I’m only taking two things", and she came clean. She was friends I think with my mom and transferring stores. Well this did not make the 30 something year old. He made my life hell, not filling my scripts in name brand saying they're in process. Having me wait 3 weeks, going through withdrawal, left hanging on Adderall, Xanax, and Percocet.

There’s no withdrawal from Adderall, and I weaned off of Percocet at the time using the Xanax and Kratom. And then boom, here comes Aurobindo Xanax. It made me sick and I reported it and I had to take it two months for withdrawal. Well who wants third world medicine from a place that’s had 7-8 FDA warning letters and now some recalls? My guess is that those drugs are fine, but to make it look like the FDA is doing their job they pick something that’s fine. I’ve tried both their Adderall and their Xanax. And looking back at old bottles I had their Gabapetin. Well, I was shaking then too. Some give a mild sciatic nerve like pain, and some give a heavy intense you just want to be dead sciatic nerve pain. That is nothing related to your health condition at all, it’s purely the medicine. I’m sorry - you should be able to request whatever generic you want, and the pharmacist should not be blocked from ordering the generics with less issues from being ordered. And how they’ll say is you get whatever generics your insurance buys, but we all know what that translates to lol.

This is so evil, even if i don’t see a dime from a company, I want this knowledge to be very public cause everyone would laugh at the idea of pain meds causing more addiction. But it’s causing more pain that makes you feel you need to take more of it. But I never did and I don’t have that kind of chemistry at all. I take it to get stuff done, then relax in the afternoons and evenings, cause being too bed bound will
make things worse, as will it for anyone.

Re: southern doc (# 3)

Yes, their Rhodes Percocet they they give to managed Medicaid patients is horrible. It causes major crazy tremors making you feel you need to take more and more, but when it’s the actual pills (I’ve tested this out several times) it’s so evil. They were first by Purdue, then changed or bought by Rhodes. This left me in so much pain & shaking, and the only thing that stopped it was Xanax (which you don’t usually get both).

Then Xanax got hit by Aurobindo for both my Xanax and Adderall. I had a long list of meds, but took myself off everything one by one to see what was causing this. It is evil AF. I want to sue the minute I’m not fatigued. I spent all my backdated Disabilty trying to find cures. I went all organic, air purifiers, natural toiletries, Flouride free filters for the water and shower head. Oh man, if you only knew. So I learned medicaid can’t haggle prices, but insurances can. Plus CVS Caremark does, so basically not everyone’s getting the same manufacturers of generic meds, and pharmacists are blocked from ordering the ones with no issues. This is part of why they have created managed medicaid.

I have learned so much being bed bound reading and researching everything from morning to night but I figured if it was happening to me it was happening to more people, but nope. Mental health and pain meds are targeted, and if you have Medicaid or Medicare, watch out. You are gonna get poor quality controlled drugs that have had FDA recalls on other drugs and from India or New Jersey. And you’re already in a sense discredited because for Disabilty if you're not healthy and have pain or mental health issues. Plus you’ll be called a junkie or mentally not well.

Well, this has costed me 2-3 years of my life and a lot of money, and I hope I can undo what these brands did to me, but they keep buying each other out changing names and formulas. CVS is corrupt. They all know what’s going on, but some pharmacies won’t even try you on some manufactures and say it’s in back ordered 3-4 weeks, when the truth is they're only making one be available, and they know that brand is toxic!!!! I got pills, bottles, and everything - tons of sh** saved. I know what each and every single one did individually. I know these meds since 1991, 2003, 2007 .. no drug abuse history, no criminal history, college educated, clean cut... And I pretty much have gotten off everything and gone natural, but fighting it with my Dr to get the major ones in name brand only.

Keep track of the manufactures, save the bottles and some of the pills, and list what each one did. After trying two generics first, they have to approve it in name brand. Do not go to CVS and don’t even bother with Walmart. The less commercial of a place the better. The other issue is some name brands are starting to be crap too. I’m hearing that being made by other manufactures like Teva makes Adderall name brand stuff like that. Never in my life I’m so pissed. ADD meds giving me fatigue, pain meds creating more pain, even ibrophen 800 and Gabapetin!!! Which Explains why they made Gabapetin controlled.

Use Kratom, it works!!! It really works ... and it’s All natural. Now if I could just kill this major fatigue, it’s insane. When Starbucks espresso or organic French roast ain’t working, that’s scary. And I know darn well it’s the meds that did this to me, it’s not my health condition at all. It's time to unite and get together clean cut, present our case, and sue! This is flat out killing people, plus Drs don’t have a clue. They think it’s health conditions worsening and just add more diagnoses and pills ... because generics have never varied or caused problems to this level before this started big time around 2015-2016. And now it’s full blown out of control the past year and a half and for opiates. Forget it once certain states create managed Medicaid, it made things worse! For real, they won’t end social security or disability. They already have a different plan in motion. Think at all the older people in nursing homes and people who have no clue or control over their care.. they're as good as dead.

Re: Kandy (# 4)

Please take the time to educate your self about substance abuse before commenting; your ignorance was on full display. Most people with opioid use disorder are trauma survivors. From a neurobiological standpoint psychological pain is the same as physical pain; in essence PWUD are also chronic pain patients seeking relief.

I am on Norco and noticed it is now more of a sleeping pill than a pain reliever. WTF

I don't think they want us to die. They want us to keep coming back. The more pain we are in the more money they will make.

Re: Jazlyn (# 1)

I was wondering why I am not getting the relief I used to get. Been in chronic pain since 2008. Used to get oxycontin 80 then cut to 40 now cant get them at all. I don't think there is an opioid epidemic. I think the street junkies who are using whatever they can get their hands on, and are overdosing are being lumped in with us legitimate chronic pain people and the government is using bloated statistics as a means to take away our medicines. It's a way to control us and make us suffer so much we contemplate suicide because our quality of life is impossible to deal with. I think they want us to die, to save the government money.

In most cases if you doctor will write "medically necessary" on the prescription for the brand name drug, your insurance will cover it or part of it and your pharmacy will fill it. However, you need to check with your insurance company to see if they will cover the name brand when it is marked "medically necessary." I'm on MyFloridaBlue and they switch back and forth on whether or not they will cover or partially cover my headache pain medicine. In addition, you also need to check to see if your pharmacy can fill the name brand pain killer as some like CVS have stopped carrying any name brand pain medicines. Shame that people with real pain have to suffer over the governments knee jerk reaction to addicts overdosing. Addicts will simply go to their local drug dealer to get the prescription pain meds, while we who are legitimate patients have to suffer.

THANK YOU FOR THIS INFO! Abruptly I noticed the change months ago coinciding with “opiod crisis revalation” which subsequently began the crackdown & stigma of pain med percocet/oxycodone without consideration of us GOOD CHRONIC PAIN PATIENTS that have been under strict, excellent pain mgmt Dr’s care!

I now know I’ll proceed the same as your friend. However, finding a lab is my dilemma, as I don’t know who to contact or where to begin te search to find a lab. Pls reach out to your friend to advice! God bless you! Thank you for caring!

Hi. Believe this or not I just had a friend that was going through the same situation, and she has a friend that works in a lab he tested it and that's exactly what it was a sugar pill. She has already taken it to a proper lab. She did get her results a couple weeks ago and has one hell of a court case. She's going to win this big time. I dare them to do this crap. So how many other customers received nothing but sugar? SMH!!
