Percocet Generic Report On Phasing Out Opioids By The Year 2021 (Page 3)
Updated
Tommy Says:
I got a report to read from the FDA sent from the DEA on generic Percocet from a friend's family member that works for the FDA. The report said that in their discussions they came up with a plan to stop people from dying from overdoses & addiction. Said Generic Percocet is the most abused medicine on the market. They have in place a 20% tolerance on generic pain medication and they deemed this wasn't helping the abuse of Percocet. People have been complaining in the thousands about Rhodes Pharmaceuticals and others not putting the correct amount of opioid in generic Percocet plus it seems to be making people sick. In the report not only are they decreasing the 20%, but also adding 50% to the 20% so you're getting 70% less of the active ingredient in Rhodes/Purdue Pharmaceuticals medication. So say you're taking Rhodes generic Percocet 10mg - you're getting around 4% of the active ingredient and in the 5mg you're getting 2%. Not only are they cutting the medication your doctor prescribed but adding fillers that make your stomach hurt making people stop taking opioids altogether. This plan has a goal by the year 2021 to phase out opioids altogether with the exception of hospitals. After reading this I said this must be Trump's doing? They said look at the date. It's from the year 2014 and is an Obama administration idea, not Trump. So no matter how many complaints reports you fill out, you're wasting your time. They aren't addressing these complaints because the two agencies are in on stopping opioids by 2021. Only in America.

Help please! I am so grateful for your post. I have Kaiser and was started on a new brand Rhodes after taking the same kind Aurobindo for years. Immediately I got sick, flu, congestion, headaches, rebound pain and irritability. Before reading this post I literally took my whole day supply at once thinking maybe I was crazy and had gotten a flu. But I’m not crazy. I’m seeing everywhere about this Rhodes brand. Not only is my pain fully back, but I feel like I’m taking a flu pill. I told my husband it felt like I was taking a fraction with horrible side effects and I was right. Kaiser doc and pharmacy say they are not switching back. I have a phone appt. tomorrow, it sounds like if you complain you are given nothing. I sure wish I could have been made aware. Knowing is so much better than questioning your sanity.

Re: Savyblues (# 41) 
Can you use a different pharmacy? Doctors do not specify a generic brand on prescriptions. Unless a patient requests.
Do you have Medicaid? If you do, Medicaid is the problem.

Re: Kim P (# 32)
Kim, most of them have forgotten the oath they took to " cause no harm " it is sad that they only care about themselves now instead of their patients they are supposed to be helping. I am in Manassas and think the good lord I have a great spine surgeon and a great pm doctor. I am in my second day out of my third lower back surgery and am doing well. Thank you for your comments and may God Bless and keep you safe. I hope you can find a doctor as great as mine.

Obama is responsible for all of this garbage. He starting setting up anti-opiod initiative in 2009 right after making the crappy deal with Iran.

I just like to know some people like me are allergic to most Medications, I can take very limited types for pain ! This happens to be one of them ! So are you forcing us to street drugs - I will never try Subsonox & add Andrew Kolondy’s wealth is rather die! Besides no one even knows if I could even take the garbage ! I thought I’d never say this but how to combat pain is now going to be the streets because of forcing pain patients there ! Seems as if. Many just want us dead ! Alcohol is legal yet kills more. Illicit drugs kills but chronic patients are allowed to live just suffer n die ! My rare illness has no treatment other then pain. What next !

You do know that generics can have 20%less active ingredient. That's commonly known

Are you talking about generic Percocet ONLY?? WE know the DEA has cut production of all opioids by 60% in the last 3 years. FACT. And, they want to cut another 20% next year. This is already causing shortages in hospitals, 'not in stock' when we go to get refills, etc etc.
