Rhodes Oxycodone (Page 2) (Top voted first)

Can someone cause somebody in the FDA to check out this Rhodes pharmaceutical company? If the potency can vary by up to 10 to 20% what does that tell you? They're not all the same. I have had Rhodes for two days and they're pure garbage I don't know why the pharmacy changed who's paying who off but these are absolutely terrible.

How did u find out the actual amount of Oxy that was in each dosage? I'm getting so disgusted with our government, the GD, the Dea... Etc. If ppl want to get their hands on oxys they will and the government can't stop it. If these ppl are using them recreationally, shame on them and if they die, it's not our problem, but I am disabled and have a list a mile long of health issues since I was 27 and I am getting sick of ppl like me who really need the treatment and proper dosage being screwed because of drug addicts. If ppl can go out and get smashed on liquor and take innocent lives while they live, because their bodies are so relaxed, than leave us disabled ppl alone who really need the meds. I've been to many pain mgmt groups and can honestly tell u 75% of the ppl walking out of there with 3 and 4 kinds of pain meds and BENZO'S are clearly abusing drugs. You can clearly tell the difference between a junkie and a true pain patient. X-ray's, mri's, and ct scans dont lie. Put the responsibility on the dr's. Not the true pain patients. We are suffering and it's not fair. So fed up. If ppl wanna kill themselves then so be it. I'm far from coldhearted, but u will never stop the drug problem. Keep cutting off pain meds and pain patients turn to illicit drugs because its cheap and they are the ones I feel sorry for. I personally would not take any illegal drugs... Never have never will. I dont even drink, but I do see why a lot of pain patients turn to street drugs and dont get me started on methadone and subs..... An absolute f***ing joke. Substituting one addictive drug for another. Yea that makes sense!

I, too, am a very dissatisfied patient who has had the misfortune of receiving the very weak Rhodes Oxycodone.
Where did you find the info re: the potency of Oxycodone manufacturered by Rhodes? The amounts you've listed indicates these pills are just 85% of the strength of the original OxyContin. Thanks!

Re: TM (# 2)


Where did you obtain this info about the actual oxycodone content in mg of the Rhodes tablets? I'd like to show it to my pharmacy, with proper sourcing, in the hopes that they will never buy the Rhodes tablets again. I knew I detected a definite difference in strength - or in something - when they switched from Actavis to Rhodes last summer, as the Rhodes just didn't work as well as the Actavis (although I'm a bit surprised the difference is that slight, in view of the difference I felt). It would be nice to be able to back it up to them with some hard data (i.e., not from a chat board). :)

Re: TM (# 2)

I am now relieved to see others complaining about headaches. I couldn’t handle the headaches & would rather take the pain in my spine than the headaches. Who knows what damage it’s causing but I’m already disabled & don’t need more medical issues to deal with. My dr wrote a new script as the pharmacist suggested & they can order a new prescription from the original mfr, but what about all the laws that only allow us to fill every 30 days? Pharmacist said they’ve dealt with this before but seems strange that it’s that easy to fill. Praying they replace the Rhodes with the original but this kind of thing is too dangerous to be taking chances.

Are you also experiencing an intense headache?
When I took meds from Rhodes pharmacy at the beginning of the month, I had a headache within 2 hours & it took over 2 days for it to go away & that’s without taking another pill from that Rhodes manufacturer. This month of April has been awful because I live with a spinal disability & chronic pain. Without pain medication, I can’t get out of bed, I’d deal with that over those headaches & being poisoned, I was so scared, so sick. Still think the pharmaceutical company needs to be held accountable for poisoning & harming all of us w/ their products.

Re: TM (# 26)

That's happened to me and what's worse is my pain mgmt Dr is not handling my pain at all. He gives me 3 15's a day and I just found out I have 2 tumors. I've been vomiting, having pain in my head which I noticed cam from a different brand of oxycodone my pharmacy got. Mt pain mgmt Dr had me sign up for a medical Marijuana card. I got approved, so I hope it helps with my pain and anxiety cuz I can't take much more.

I have been getting 10mg of Oxycodone for several months now, after changing from 10 mg of OxyContin to better manage my pain relief. Needless to say, these new pills from Rhodes are unreliable; sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. I know this for a fact because shortly after taking the medication, I started to get withdrawal symptoms and had to take another pill. I told the Pharmacy, and I told my Doctor, neither one did anything to help, as if they knew about this problem. So I contacted the FDA on two separate occasions for two different months of prescriptions. I haven't heard a peep. My thoughts are that many are involved and making money off our pain.

I've taken oxycontin n oxycodone for 17 years or so and have been cut down to just 6 of the oxycodone 15s n have always got green pills n this time I got the white football shaped one and I think they're great. I usually have to take several on the first day to get them built up in my body and with these I took much less and about 20 mins later started feeling a lot better and they actually really helped my back pain. I recently broke my tibia n fibia and it's ached all winter and these even took that pain away. I'm asking pharmacy if they can make sure I get those from now on.

Re: Still in pain (# 19)

Dear Still in Pain,

I have not taken the Rhodes with tylenol. My doctor orders it withou, but still 10mg. And....not the best, but it works. That may be a choice for you. Ask if you can get it without the tylenol. You can always take your own tylenol. If you are stuck with that brand, because of the pharmacy they want you to use, you may have that option. Ok, so it works, but honestly, I've had 10's that work better. I would be hopping mad if like you, I picked up a script that had NO potency. I'm relatively new to having to use med every month. Still learning what I need to look out for, and what I should be able to expect from decent meds. Thanks for your posts. JMJ

I recently got some of the Rhodes 5/325s and I agree they are weaker than some other percocets. However, I don't find that they have any bad side effects like the Camber. These aren't the worst generic percocets but they're not ideal. It's slim picking nowadays when it comes to generic percocet. I'm just glad there aren't any adverse side effects (at least not in my experience).

Call your doctor first, then your insurance company. They pick out who dispenses your medications.
