Rhodes Pharm Manufacturer For Rp 10/325 Generic For Percocet

Horrible experience with RP 10/325 generic for Percocet 10/325 prescribed by my Pain Mgt Dr. I got the prescription filled at Walmart a month ago. Since that time, I have been in withdrawals, with aching muscles, mostly in my shoulders and wrists, the pain I felt before going on any pain pills over 25 years ago, also the chills and sweating, just as if I were in complete withdrawal. I took the bottle to the pharmacy and told the pharmacist what was happening and he told me he has had no other complaints and couldn't do anything for me...okay, so my husband is now picking up my new monthly prescription at Walgreens, and the manufacturer is Actavis, which I believe is the old Watson and I am praying they will take away the withdrawal feelings. Has anyone else had this issue with the Rhodes Pharm Manufacturer?

Yes, it is not just you! There have been others that have complained about them. It does work for some people, but not for all.

There have been far less complaints about the one from Actavis.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

Have you tried taking it, yet?

Yes, I had the same exact issue in November 2016 and again in December. The newer generic pills gave me about 3 days of cold sweats, fatigue, and some nausea. Whenever I came across an older Watson or A- brand, the pill actually worked. I wanted to be certain, so I waited until today to tell my pharmacist. I have been on the same script for about 10 years for degenerative disc pain. I think that that qualifies me to discern between the two. The pharmacist gave me a mixture of the old that worked, the ones that don't help, and a new generic. It was all that she had in stock. I took the A- brand and it worked wonderfully in comparison to the new generic. I plan on taking them back this week. I just hate sounding like an opiate addict to the pharmacist, but ineffective generic pills deserve to be pointed out.

Yes. Last month, I filled my prescription at Walmart and got the white pills with RP on one side and 10 325 on the other. They are made by Rhodes Pharmaceuticals. They are weak when compared to the Actavis (larger yellow pill) 10/325 generic percocet that I had gotten for the last 2 years at Publix. I didn't have withdrawal symptoms, but they were significantly weaker for handling my pain. I would say they felt like 5/325 - 7.5/325 strength pills that I have taken before. I just filled my prescription at Publix and am taking the Activis med again. Definitely a good difference in my pain management.

You all are not alone. I'm in Pain management for a crushed leg for one issue and I never had one single problem with my Percocet 10/ 325 until it was filled by RHODES. I thought I was goijng to die and the month of June of 17 was going through help. Withdrawals, severe headaches, sick at my stomach constantly and the list goes on and on. I will never be in a pharmacy and not ask if my scrip will be filled by this poison. I feel for each and every one of you. I'm new here and I want to help and I need help as well. Thank you

I was given a script of 10 mg oxycodone that I have been taking for 2 years for acute pain. This month I went to cvs and there was a different type of medicine in the bottle. I took it as prescribed and it may as well be Bayer aspirin. I called the pharmacy and told them I need my regular script as this does not help. I was told they would not accept it back and that I should call my doctor. Asked my doctor to change my script. I have never had a pharmacy tell me the med was new or not as effective. My doctor will not change script, so I suffer and don't know what or how to regain ability to do my duty of chores that have to be done. If a person is in acute pain and it affects your being able to do anything, what do I do. Thank you for explaining the Rhodes Pharmaceutical to me. If I can make a few more days, maybe Walgreens will have medication that will ease the pain I live with everyday.

Re: Lildarln (# 8)

Do not take gabapentin w/oxycodone as the inactive ingredients have magnesium. Wait a couple of hrs. Too watch out taking stool softeners with your meds. Take it before bedtime if you can

I've been taking Actavist 10/325 Percocets for a several years. Never had problem. My last refill I got Rhodes 10/325 Percocets and they don't work with a crap! Today I took my first Rhodes, and I'm feeling withdrawals and my pain is NOT diminished at all... I think I got 325 Tylenol, but no Oxy. I called Walgreen's... they said they couldn't get Actavist and call my Doc... Even if I got a new script, they said my insurance wouldn't pay for a new Rx. My last script for 100 pills (I've been dropped 20 pills/mo) cost me $26.52... Used to be $47.00... I guess by removing the Oxy, they're $20 cheaper! SoB's

Yes. Horrible. They do not work. Been on oxycodone for years. No pain relief. Withdrawals. Itching, chills, jaw pain, neck pain, rashes, feeling irritable and I can't get out of bed. Aurobindo brand is just as bad if not worse from India. I found an independent pharmacy that carries Endocet. Healthmart. Look it up in your area and see if they can order it or may have what works. I've suffered for 3 months with no pain relief. Aurobindo brand is made in India. The doctor doesn't care. I've told him how much I've suffered.

Yeah... I was getting Actavist 10/320 for a few several years, never had a problem... my last Rx was switched to these RP/10/325 Percocets... they don't work with a crap.

I have another post describing in more detail... bottom line, I think you'll like Actavist

Re: Skeeter (# 2)


I've read somewhere that the cheaper pharm. companies were putting 75% of the narcotic in their drugs, IP, Mallinckrodt and more, and selling to pharmacies to increase profits while the patients were having to take more for the pain, upsetting stomachs and running out of meds early. It's ridiculous for us with legitimate problems to have to suffer while ppl that fake pain so well and can get them no questions asked, and sell them in order to get their drugs of choice, use other ppls urine to pass drug panels. Ppl, myself included, have to worry that you might get fake meds, identical to the ones they're prescribed, possibly from pharmacies, rarely I hope. I got percocet 10/325 from Walgreens made by Actavis. I've gotta say that that company, so far, make the best. A 333 oval shape. Mallinckrodt anything needs to be pulled off the shelf permanently.

Re: Lil Nitro (# 15)

I agree, the Actavist 10/325 is a good medication. Better than my last script I got filled at Walgreen's. They didn't have Actavis Percocets, but gave me Rhodes Percocets 10/325... These new ones seemed weaker and I felt withdrawals... I was getting 4/day, i.e. 120 pills... but my doc last prescribed me 100 pills and said with all the OD flack from Opioids, that issue has put undue scrutiny on Percocets. So I have to suffer b/c some ppl use Percocets recreationally, or alcohol and end up dying... Why do I have to be punished b/c of *****s?

Re: Tracy (# 17)

I've been prescribed Percocets 10/325. My last script filled at Walgreen's switched manufacturers, i.e. Rhodes ( I used to get Activast, never had a problem with them)... but these Rhodes are crappy... I bet they're more like 7/325 b/c they don't last for 6-8 hrs... more like 4 hrs. My doc said the DEA wants ppl to only get 3 pills/day... Next office visit, I'm going to ask for ER (Extended Release) and see if I can get a higher dose... maybe 15/325...

This is the first time I ever got these little white round Percocet pills with RP 10 325. It also says TB on the bottle after the name of the pill. What does the TB stand for?

Re: Sourpus (# 19)

I’m pretty sure the TB listed after the Oxycodone 10-325, 5-325, or whatever dosage you have been prescribed, just stands for “tablet”.

Yes all people taking any pain meds, make sure not to leave pharmacy with any Rhodes product. They are absolutely trash. Call your senator as well as DEA. Tell everyone you know who takes pain meds to not purchase. Veterans call White House 855-948-3211

I am having the same complaints as others concerning RP 10 325. I contacted my pharmacy and he said they could do nothing. It costs $275.00 with no insurance. Please advise.

Are the 10 325 RP fake Percocet? Is the RP supposed to be sideways or upside down?

Same thing here. It’s very upsetting because I’ve been on Percocet 10/325 and the last 4 refills we’re all different manufacturers. They immediately put me in withdrawal with flu like symptoms, and the other manufacturers just didn’t help with pain unless I took 2 at a time (but still not the same as when I was first prescribed).

The good ole Watson brand was the best for me. Now I'm on no pain medicine. My Doc sent me to Rheumatologist, who for some reason drug tested me, which was not a problem. However, I was in so much pain I couldn't function, so my son talked me into taking one of his Suboxone strips. Pain was gone. I didn't even think of it showing up because it had been at least 5 days. Then I read where it can stay in your system for 8 days. It did show up and they called to ask me if I was on it. I said no, and explained as I had been telling my Doc that the pain meds are no good.

Next thing I know, I get a certified letter saying he was releasing me as a patient and that I should seek help for my drug problem! I was furious. Now I'm in constant pain and all Doctors want to give me are Antidepressants or Gabapentin! They don't work! Just put me in a zombie state, and no pain relief. I'm 52 on SSI and never got my RX earlier than usual. I could make them last a few days past the 30 days. I'm more depressed because I'm hurting all over and the new Doc asked if I have Mania, and could you be bipolar. Seriously. Wow.

I guess I'll never have my pain medicine ever again. Lost. I've been on them since 2009 after major abdominal surgery that left me in constant pain. Then it's just taken from me. With no other options. I tried Lyrica and couldn't even function. Cymbalta made my heart race and I would never eat unless someone told me too. I had nosebleeds, headaches, severe abdominal pain.

Doomed and in pain in Lake Charles, LA. I moved here 6 years ago and had trouble even finding the Doctor I had that would prescribe them to me, and even then he made me take 800 mg of Ibuprofen the first month because he didn't know me like my Doctor I had of over 10 years that really took care of me. I may move back. Doctors here don’t seem to really care or believe you. Sad.

Re: Lil Nitro (# 15)

Yeah, I have noticed a marked difference in the Mallin--- whatever junk. I have told my husband that I think there is something wrong with this brand... confirms the fact that I am not crazy. This generic is hit and miss. Mostly miss. I was getting RP 10 325 for the last few years, they worked for me. The M523 10/325 should be pulled from the market, but who is listening to us anyway, we are all "junkies". Just ask the power on the other side of the counter. Oh "judge not"... I had to change pharmacies recently because of pricing games. I am such a POS! Oh the attitudes from these people sometimes. Oh well, they will learn.

Re: choice nonne (# 9)

Try a different CVS or request they special order the old pill for you. They can do this. I specifically request do not fill with Rhodes Pharmaceutical Percocet. Instead I take Qualitest (yellow oblong pill). Good luck.

Watson was bought out by a European drug maker so they can monopolize the market. Rhodes has also cut 10s to 4% and 5s to 2% by request of CDC/DEA.
