Strongest 30 Mg Oxycodone - Kvk Vs Mallinckrodt Vs Rhodes (Page 3)

Updated

Hi All,

I experience pretty severe neuropathic pain due to a spinal injury. I have a Baclofen pump which also contains hydromorphone but still get a lot of breakthrough pain. I've been taking oxycodone for 8ish yrs. and the pills I was prescribed those first few yrs. did a good job at treating the pain. I've had to change pharmacies and notice lately the oxycodone 30s I've been given lately do little or NOTHING! Especially the Mallinckrodt!

My doc prescribed 3 30mg pills a day but I had to munch 5 of the Mallinckrodts in a 4 hour period and still got barely any relief. I was worried I'd get constipated big time after taking that many pills several days in a row but I didn't (because they're so damn weak!) I don't know the mfg. of the oxys I was taking yrs ago but it may have been Actavis or KVK Tech. (although KVKs I was prescribed last mo. weren't much better than the Mallinckrodt).

My question is what brand do y'all think is the strongest 30mg oxycodone? My pharmacy has the KVK but I talked to another that carries Rhodes, are those any better? Thanks for any info!

JUNK, wait till you get cancer bud. Then come talk to me. They're playing with our medication, it's not right. That's the issue right there. Dumb ass dope heads flat-out and Floriduh is loaded with them. Maybe now we have a new sheriff and by God he's a good one. We can get these fools off the street for good.

I agree that Rhodes is the worst generic for any medication. I prefer Activas for Oxycodone or Percocet.

KVK suck! They give me the WORST headache ever! Look it up. Youll see this is not uncommon. Just got Rhodes 20mg....lets wait n see. The Mallinkrodt are the best by far!

Why would you want any acetaminophen in a pain medication? All that does is eat up your liver over time. I would recommend that if you're truly in pain just take Oxycodone 10 mg..Mallinckrodt. (that is the correct spelling for the Mboxes by the way?) be prepared to go into shell shock because the price of the Mallies shot up over twice the price they were 6-12 months ago! Norcos, Percocet, etc..10/325mg that last number (325) is just as bad for your liver in doses of 1400mg a day. I want you to know one thing about the opiates you are taking, they work great for pain but please do not combine them with xanax or any other Benzdiazapams ...Because over a 6-12 month use of this combination daily in high doses you may find yourself unable to sleep without them and may develop Serum Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) THAT means that your brain/body has lost most of its capability to produce Serotonin which enables you to sleep. I say this for all of you out there doing this... STOP NOW or you will never know how it feels to get a good night's sleep again (NREM-Sleep). And by the way don't run out of your medication early. Just like my Doctor said you may feel like dying but you won't. What you will do is get the runs, be in a hell of a lot of mental anguish and the stomach cramps are terrible and your pain level will be off the charts. Make your medication last...Please for your sake do not take more than you NEED. GOD BLESS.

The Best Pharmaceuticals Company is Sandoz. I know because I get Oxycontin HCL ER 20MG(the12hr. Extended Relief) tablets. And I get Oxycodone for break through Pain relief, but they are not the same as Sandoz, they are from Rhodes Pharmaceuticals And they don't do anything for my PAIN. In fact they make me sick and gives me HEADACHES!!!!! So if there is someone who knows how to contact the FDA to report this just let me know. PLEASE.

You know after reading all these articles about these different Pain pills, I got to believe that the CDC is behind all of these different Pain pills.

Agreed!!!! My pain level is so high and chronic and these don't work!!!! I try explaining to my Dr. and pharmacy, but the pharmacist insists they're all the same and, no, they aren't. I can't get any relief from these.

I think this might be interesting to all of us. 2 weeks ago I came down with a bad cough, fever, etc. I happen to start looking at ingredients becaus they said they were from Croatia. I expressed my fears to To pharmacist & she continued to say all drugs in their pharmacies had obviously had a extra Help from that

Hi Riby,
I've been using Actavis brand 30 mg oxycodone and find they're probably the best. They're not great but I find they're a lot better than Rhodes, Mallinckrodt and KVK. FYI, I noticed the Actavis started giving me even better pain relief about a yr. ago even though my dosage was the same so if you had bad results w/them in the past, maybe give them another try. Good luck.

Hi Honnybee, Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
I like the old Mom/Pops stores. I go to Walkersville Rx. I don't think I've ever waited more then 20 mins.
I have to go down the road for a Dr. I use that term loosely. I'm sick of Frederick.
Get back to me if you want the Drs. name Good Luck And welcome to Frederick.

For starters you have the right to have your meds counted out in front of you before you leave the pharmacy. I would definately do that! As soon as you walk away there is nothing you can do. They automatically assume you are lying.

I had a similar issue a couple months ago and now have them counted in front of me. Yes, it can suck if you have a lot of pills to coynt. However you can at least make sure you have the right number and if you are short they can start tracking down who took them!

Good luck!

Hey Cargo & Mike W. (and anyone w/cancer pain),
Have y'all ever tried any of the Fentanyl meds like Actiq, Fentora or Fentanyl patches? I'm assuming you have as the med is targeted toward those w/cancer but if you haven't you should check it out. I used to take Actiq then Fentora but then had to change my Rx insurance & the new plan didn't cover it. It's ridiculously expensive at something like $1400 for a box of 28 Fentora. I liked it because it was fast acting but not long lasting. Anyway, hope this helps.

I'm glad others are having the same issues. I always joke with my hub that they gave me placebos on some refills. Got Rhodes for the first time and so far they're crap. Qualitest and another I don't remember were best. I know part of the issue is tolerance but when I eat low carb which decreases inflammation, I get more relief from same dose (percocets). Not the case with Rhodes and some other brands they deceived me with!!!
