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

Are you serious! What I don’t need is thinking I have sciatic nerve problems! My dr has written name brand on my script, but I have never gotten it. Any other drugstores have a better brand? My husband doesn’t think we have time in our schedule to go into the city once a month! Can you believe that? I’m also waking up feeling anxious every morning. Do you think it’s oxy liquid that I take before bed, or do I need a Xanax? I’m so confused! Also I still have breakthroughs with my Baclofin for my dystonia. I’m afraid it’s going to ruin my joints as I age. More advice please!

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: 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!

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.

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.

It is helpful if you state the manufacturer of the Norco you mentioned. Thank you.

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.”

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.
