Percocet Generic Report On Phasing Out Opioids By The Year 2021 (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

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.

Re: Diane (# 8)

Well then that simply shows you don't know what you are talking about either!! Let me explain Diane, Norco & Percocet are 2 different drugs & both are brand names. Norco has hydrocodone & Percocet has oxycodone....

I am in the know and have been dealing with kind of stuff for more than 2 decades & am a former pain management patient, 5 different neck and back surgeries with a couple cancer diagnosis' thrown in for good measure. I can assure you that those agencies don't have to fool you....bottom line is the days of prescribing opiods to make the patient comfortable is OVER. I suggest anyone that has been on long term pain killers to tell their doctor they want off to know what their true pain level is. They can help taper you back safely.....pain pills are a thing of the past, so get ready!

Can anyone who has had the sick issue with Rhodes, advise me on how to get another script from pm, so I can go get pills that don't make me sick? I'm stuck with 75 of these. I just got them. Can't go thru a month of this. Please, someone tell me what can be done. I know this is in the pmp database. How do they make the exception? - "People who have already done this".

I will stick to my opinion which is based on fact - not your fiction! The FDA and DEA are NOT colluding to make Percocet less effective. Trust me if they were, you would not have seen any paperwork!!

All I can say is that it said it was a discussion between the two agencies. I have no reason to lie. Just wait and see what's going to happen in the next couple of years. Thanks for voicing your opinion.

Re: Roy (# 1)

Hi Roy, this report was not meant for the public to see. As I said I got to see this from a friend's family member that works for the FDA. I asked if I could print a copy of this and was told he would lose his job plus think what repercussions would be if the FDA & DEA got caught tampering with pain medication. But it's true that your pain medication is being decreased to stop overdoses and addiction but breaking the law doing it. Maybe there's a law to start lowering opioids in pain medication. But with all the complaints and sickness happening by taking generic Percocet, it adds up that the FDA & DEA are working on this because nothing is being done. This is wrong but what can you do. Would have loved to have made a copy of that report but even with that nothing would happen in these dark days in America

Hi Tommy - Is there any way that you can dig up a link to the article you are referring to, or any other details from the FDA or DEA .gov sites? I tried searching myself but all I found was some information from June of this year, stating that the FDA is making Endo Pharmaceuticals pull Opana ER off the market [1]. Although I do agree with the overall theme of what you are saying since there is also information out there about how the DEA is aiming to reduce the production of opioids by 25% starting in 2017 [2].

If you could please add any other details from their official sites it would be very helpful and give all of us something more to chew on.
