I have a T 194 yellow pill that says it's a percocet 10mg, but when taking it, it made me feel super weird and my chest hurt. Is this a possible side effect?
Re: Big red balloon (# 86)
I feel for you friend. Please allow me to suggest that you do some independent research about your situation, your health, meds, natural alternatives. (Things not getting better ?) There are answers, help/relief, and a better life but... Only if YOU educate yourself on YOUR situation. I WAS on over 1000mg oxy per day and 12+ 10/325 vicodin a day...I take 0 now. Learn about your body! Good luck.
Re: nomas (# 83)
Nomas, thank you for your post. I found it quite interesting as I'm trying to get to the bottom of the 'why?'... Why in the world would the pharmaceutical companies, at this point I'm not certain if it's one or all agree that poisoning pain patients for the sake of saving them from drug addiction is the golden answer for saving mankind from drug overdoses? Yippee, I haven't taken a shower in days, still in pjs, dishes are piling up, thank god there's cereal because the idea of cooking something substantial seems like a monstrous task that my weak body and depressed mind can't fathom. Hello couch, I'm back. All of the years of inj's., ablations, steroids, massage, chiropractors, la la la, time lots of time, and now, here, take this chronic pathetic pain, take this nice little poison pill cuz the government is going to fix this epidemic, so proud, isn't this great - new symptom diarrhea, add that to the list, for some reason I'm going to guess that they are going to tell me it's not from the pain pills, depression can cause horrible fits of diarrhea too :) I hope that whoever decided that caloxone adds relief for chronic pain gets diarrhea too! Sorry, I'm venting, I'm sick, I'm hurting and I'm scared.
Re: Scooter (# 5)
Allergic reaction; if you haven't had this before on oxycodone then it's the naloxone that is combined with the oxycodone. It has a lot of side effects. Call your doctor asap as it will get worse and will cause other health problems. Good luck.
Re: nomas (# 83)
Wow! This is huge! Thank you. I’ll speak to my pain mgmt doctor as my primary care Dr & my pharmacist suggested that after all my month’s of trying new generic each month with each one suddenly loaded w/side effects I must request “brand medically necessary” be written on my next refill prescription for my insurance company to honor it as is by law.
It probably is the naloxone. It did that to me alone with nausea and a bad headache. It's called the "Intelligent drug delivery system". When I took the T194s I researched the IDDS and as long as the pill is left whole when you take it, the naloxone is not released until it's coming out the back door. I don't buy this. How else are they keeping you from getting the opioid feeling? All the side effects everyone is getting are the side effects of naloxone. Google oxycodone/naloxone. The IDDS was patented around 2014.
A study was done on 600 people that took the pills orally as prescribed and the most common side effect was nausea and vomiting. The only way to get the meds without naloxone in it is to be in a hospice house or in a hospital. The T194s and all others will be the same so get used to it or give it up. The GOVERNMENT has spoken.
Not sure exactly where to put my comment, so here goes. I used to get a generic Percocet 10/325 from CVS that was yellow (don't remember the manufacturer name because they switched to Rhodes over a year ago). I don't know if I got a bad batch from CVS or if Rhodes just makes poor quality medication, but I switched my script to Walgreen's because even though the A333 pills were not as effective for me as the ones CVS stopped carrying before the switch to Rhodes, they far surpassed Rhodes. The first time I took one of the Rhodes pills I kept waiting for it to work and 7 hours later I never did feel it take effect so I took a second dose as my script says to take 1 pill every 8 hours as needed for pain. I found the Rhodes pills to be very inconsistent - sometimes the worked so-so, sometimes it was like taking nothing at all, and sometimes they were strong enough to notice.
So that is why I decided they are a waste and switched to Walgreen's. On 2/1/2018 I picked up a new prescription from Walgreen's and received the yellow T194 pills from Camber. While I don't think they are as good as the yellow ones CVS used to carry, I will take these over Rhodes any time. For me, the T194 pills seemed to work quicker but wear off before the 8 - 12 hours of pain relief I received with the A333 pills. And the A333 pills took longer to kick in for me, but also the pain relief lasted longer once they did kick in. Both for me are FAR SUPERIOR to Rhodes medication. I have not had any adverse side effects mentioned by others to the T194 pills, but I do not dispute these reactions as there are different fillers in the two brands of pills and the reactions could be to the fillers and not the active ingredients of the medication.
My main problem when I fill the prescription is being scrutinized by the pharmacist and the pharmacy employees as if they are trying to see if I look stoned. I take the medication as prescribed so I do not look stoned, but they still seem to be on the warpath every time I take in a new script (same pharmacy for over a year, no early refill requests, same doctor for about the last 8 years, no failed U/A's administered by the prescribing doctor, etc., etc., etc.) I would love not to take this medication just to not have to go through this BS every time I take a new script to the pharmacy, but I have not figured out any other way to get rid of that feeling of someone pounding a sledge hammer into the base of my spine. I have arthritis and degenerative disc disease in all three parts of my spine so the pain is not going to be "cured" and taking an opioid does seem to make the pain manageable enough so that I can do normal daily activities without having to rely on others to do them for me because I am in too much pain to move. I am lucky that I can function better than many others, and I am thankful for this. But I see no reason to live in constant pain if this medication can make that pain more bearable. I don't believe chronic pain patients need to be pawns of the doctors, the medication manufacturers, and the pharmacy personnel who seem to be on a personal life mission to make the lives of people on controlled medications turn into a living hell. I hope those of you having problems with this manufacturer change and also with nasty pharmacy employees can find the relief you need as quickly as possible.
Re: Poohsy (# 80)
Typically grapefruit juice can inhibit certain enzymes (notably CYP3A4) which can reduce the clearance rate (half-life) of certain medications. This can lead to that medication building up in serum (blood/plasma) levels. Although this enzyme is related to the metabolism of nearly 50% of pharmaceutical drugs It's seldom ever toxic.
Some people actually do this deliberately to make medications (like xanax) last longer or to "potentiate" their effects. There are some cases with certain medication though where grapefruit/juice can cause serious complications due to the enzyme inhibition/reduction of clearance.
As far as the Camber, user/poster "nomas" recently informed me on a different thread that the Camber t194 are the exact same as Endocet made by Endo pharma. I haven't tried either myself. All percocets make me feel like crap, some more than others. I'm not a chronic pain patient though so I only take them a few times a year if not less.
Re: Mark (# 79)
actually it's not so good to advise other people to drink grapefruit juice you never know what kind of medication they're on grapefruit juice can interact the different medications and can sometimes cause a life-threatening reaction.
Re: Scooter (# 5)
If you itch, it's your liver! Just drink a half glass of grapefruit juice a day or every other day. These will affect the liver, grapefruit restores liver fast.
The government has declared war on opioids and there is nothing anyone can do until everyone bands together to file a legal suit on pharmaceutical co. and drug stores for destroying peoples health and lives. It's fraud. The drug stores and the pharmaceutical co.'s are still making billions on pain pills that don't work and they make you sick. If they cant make a pain pill that stops pain and doesn't make you sick and suffer then they shouldn't be allow to sell this s***!!! All the opioid pills suck and as long as people buy them they will make and sell them. I'm 70 + sick as hell and suffering. The more pills you take the more you suffer.
Re: MeJane (# 75)
we have to ALL complaint to Walgreens.. it's the only way they'll look into it. My Walgreens said that I was the only one to complain about it at my store.
Re: Izzo (# 70)
They are making EVERYONE SICK!!! PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM ANYTHING BY CAMBER MFR!!? Cronic patient's....do WE HAVE RIGHTS? AT this point....it looks pretty grim??
My thoughts exactly! I thought til I’ve read all these comments that I was losing my mind! We’ve got to do something but what?
Yes. Same reaction to Camber generic percocet as with in last uear to date.
Re: skitzlpk (# 37)
I have read dozens of posts, i.e., this is itchy I'm sweating, I'm nauseous. What have they done? I too picked up the Camber drug in question only to discover nothing and with horrible concerning side effects to boot, nauseous, erratic heart beat, itching, fatigue, etc. Walgreens said: same exact ingredients but different binders, ok? Fine, what is a chronic pain patient to do? I've signed the opioid agreement, Remained tired and true to it, now only if I had my pain clinic agree that the government needs to stay out of that agreement, that isn't going to happen. Sad and scared that the quality of my life is being controlled by the FDA, CDC, government. Where are the advocates who want to have their voices heard that stand up for chronic pain people? We are loosing not only that voice but also the everyday battle just to want to live a better pain free life. Please, don't say just breathe or imagine sticking all of my pain into a big red balloon and watching it flyyyyyy away, sit on it?
Re: Chahlie76 (# 67)
I agree with you 110%!! Not everyone is the same but these really give me more relief than the A333's ever did. It's sad that not only does it revolve around the money but the people that abuse them make it a million times harder to even get anything to help with chronic pain. I jump through hoops every month being tested and picking up my paper rx. I drive an hour and 20 minutes one way if there is no traffic delays because we have no doctors here in our small town that will even try to help someone find some relief. Ive had back surgery, have fibro and RA. It's a daily struggle to get up and get going. Had I realized that my body would become addicted to the meds and steroid inj's., I would have tried different things years ago. Now, its too late, My body is shot to crap and if you go without the meds you get dreadfully sick. That happened with the A333 because I would sometimes have to take 2. I'm just happy to find relief. I Pray that the "Opioid Crisis" fizzles out because I cant take the driving and sitting for extended periods. We need support for those of us who truly need them and don't abuse them or use them for a high. Just my thoughts.
Re: Izzo (# 70)
umm yeah.. all of us here in this thread.. did u read it?
I used to get Watson 10/325 percocet from Walgreens, now they gave me a new one from camber pharmaceutical and they do not work at all. They make me really sick. Anyone with the same situation?
I am very confused about this T194 Percocet (10/325) pill by Camber Pharmaceuticals. Mine are white not yellow! I have taken one tablet without pain relief! They were issued by Walgreens! Where can I report this problem?
I think everyone reacts differently to different generic "brands" of the same medication, probably due to variation in fillers. Plus I'm not convinced they're not skimping on the active ingredients and/or adding fillers that make your body unable to absorb the medication. I am a chronic pain patient who uses one doctor & one pharmacy (as per our agreement). The state government & feds & their ridiculous "war on drugs" which has resulted so far in more red tape for doctors & pharmacies & legitimate acute & chronic pain patients who are not abusing drugs being denied relief & STILL not preventing people from dying of illicit drugs & fake fentanyl, the two substances that are most often involved in OD deaths. And it's putting a whole lot of money into Big Pharma's pockets at the same time. I've never liked the idea of taking anything that's made in India, but sadly, almost everything is today. The least effective generic Percocet (as in barely touched my pain at all) I ever took was Mallinckrodt. That is, until today. I use the "R" pharmacy. I like them & their two pharmacists w/ whom I'm on a first-name basis. I HATE the "W" pharmacy chain & the "C" chain, but "W" just bought out "R" & so while "R" still has "R" on the building & will for the next 2-3 years, "W" signage is starting to go up in the pharmacy area. Got my script filled today & noticed it was a different brand, but they change occasionally, and since it wasn't Mallinckrodt I didn't think much of it.
I haven't had bad enough pain to really need to take anything in a couple of days, but today started out kind of rough, so since I'm going to have to be on my feet at work much of the day, I took one. Half an hour later I should have started to notice the pain easing. I have a HUGE genetic tolerance to opioids. Always have had, and no, I've never abused drugs of any type. Never even tried a street drug, including MJ, and I don't drink alcohol. I have no interest in getting high or "feeling a buzz" or anything "pleasant" from taking any med, and oxycodone, hydrocodone, & codeine, about the only 3 I've tried (I'm allergic to morphine & tramadol), don't even make me dizzy or sleepy. I just need "chemical reinforcement" some days to be able to work full time & have a decent quality of life. I waited another 15-20 minutes & took a second one. I have my M.D.'s permission to do this, but it's MY responsibility to make my monthly script last 30 days b/c there are no early refills. Still NOTHING! I'm still in pain. I don't feel any side effects, no nausea, dizziness, or anything, but I never do anyway. It just takes the edge off the pain after about half an hour.
I called my pharmacy & spoke w/ one of the two regular pharmacists (the one who filled it this a.m.) & told him this stuff isn't doing a thing. He explained since "W" took over they are having trouble getting a lot of things they request. If they could get another generic brand, they might exchange the remaining pills as a courtesy (they did this just one time about 5 years ago after they subbed Mallinckrodt & I learned then how ineffective that stuff is), but w/ all the new laws now & the fact they'd have to "refund" my co-pay & rerun it through my insurance company... that would raise all sorts of red flags (literally, as it turns out)... and even if they order a different generic brand, there's no guarantee they could get it, at least not in a timely manner. So basically I'm stuck w/ these worthless things for the next month. Apparently "W" has switched from their most recent generic brand, Actavis (which wasn't as good as the OLD Watson), but it beat the heck out of this Camber T194 stuff. Even Mallinckrodt is better than this stuff, and I didn't think that was possible!
