T 194 Yellow Pill (Page 3) (Top voted first)

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?

It is same for all generic percocet, oxycodone meds regardless of maufacturer & a distinct change beginning a year ago; how could all of us in same time frame, no coincidence & obviously not about a sudden tolerance issue. We’ve been on this med tolerably functioning for years tgen BOOM, just like that, percocet, oxycodone suddenly has the opposite side effects of what it was & our pain levels are returning with a vengence as if we r unmedicated & left only phyzically sick & sedated!! Sad part is Pharma & manufacturers must be sworn to secrecy to not tell us what the obvious new addition to the formula they have secretly added! We r not stupid & must act.

Re: FibroFighter2 (# 20)

I don't know why everyone doesnt like the t194 pills.. I got a script filled and I believe that they are better than the a333 and the ip ones(can't remember the number)

Anyhow, I was hoping that it wasn't a fluke because i think they are better than what has been dispensed in the past. I had my Dr change me from norco 10/325, which I have taken for the last 4 years, because my pharmacist said the yellow Watson's increased 500% in price and they started getting mallinckrodt. Worthless pill and I donthave time in my day to go around and find the right pharmacy that carries something decent. I think that its wrong that the manufacturers can't just make them all the same. And its sad that its all revolving around money. Anyhow rant over. Have a great day.

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!

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: 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.

News Headlines: "More people died from drug overdose in 2016 than in car accidents!!!" What fake news wants you to believe is that all drug deaths were prescription opioid related. Well that's not correct according to the National Center for health statistics; they used the overall numbers of drug deaths that are misleading while reporting on the opioid crisis and prescription drugs. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 14,400 overdosed on prescription pain meds like percocets, lortabs, ect. & 15,400 were linked to heroin overdose. 20,100 overdosed on non-methadone synthetic opioids like fentanyl and the rest were linked to drugs like coke. The boot legged opioids were included in prescription meds. Fake news misleads you in hopes you will believe their far left ideology. They don't report the news they make it up. The number of deaths in car accidents were 40,000 plus.

JMJ (# 158) --

I let my doctors know that I changed pharmacies I also let them know that Walgreens had changed companies that they were getting their medication from and it made me very sick I was very honest with them. when you do it that way it's not considered jumping companies or Pharmacy hopping or what have you. I am very open and honest with my doctors. I try to let them know if something is not working for me be it a pharmacy or something that they are giving me. I find that that works best for me and usually when I give that advice to other people they seem to find it works best for them also.

I have been on Percocet for almost 20 years and have been given most of the generics in that length of time and while I have noticed that I prefer the pain relief that I get better from some than others, nothing I couldn't live with or would ever complain about.

Went on February 12 to get my refill and was given the Camber. Of course I noticed the color right away but having never had any major problems with generics, I had no problem taking them.

OMG!! Took them for about 48 hours and started getting pains in my stomach. Not cramps but pain. Then I would get nauseated and vomit like I had trouble getting to the bathroom in time so started carrying a bucket around. Not much in the way of pain relief either. That was the very first thing I noticed. I went thru a full pack of 30 Zofran in 16 days which in 20 years I have NEVER done. I have been in withdrawals before and this wasn't like that for me. I was shaky and weak, just sick, terribly sick. I kept telling myself that it wasn't the pills and kept trying them but after 10 days, I googled it and realized that I was not alone. By the way, I called Walgreens about day 4 and told them I never wanted to get this brand again and they told me they would note on my profile that I was to be given Activas only.

I could not get into to see my Doctor til the 28th and wasn't sure what she would say but since this had never happened to me before I was hopeful she might be able to help. She decided to give me enough Hydrocodone to get me thru til my next med fill and told me to make sure they ordered the right meds for me. She is always so good to her patients. She really cares. Of course the Hydrocodone is not as effective as Oxycodone but hey, I wasn't sick so I got thru it fine. It took about a week for me to feel much better though.

Filled my script today and they did order the Activas and said with 2 days notice that they can do that each and every month from now on. I am feeling pretty good that that will happen. If not, I may need to find something else to take or change pharmacies which I would hate to do after being there 17 years.

As far as changing pharmacies goes, my doctor says all they have to do is fill out one sheet of paperwork and have me sign it to change. The few times that I actually had to use another pharmacy because they didn't have enough to fill my script, I just had to call my Pain Management doctors office so they could notate it in my file.

Not to the poster who thought if we just gave it time that our bodies would adjust is just wrong. Having made lots and lots of med changes over the years, I know that is true with lots of drugs. You do have to give your body time to adjust to the new med. That is not what was going on with the Camber. I felt like I was being poisoned! I mean it really was that bad. I was existing on 7-up and crackers and not able to keep a lot of that down at times either. I was freaking miserable and I NEVER want to see another one of those Camber meds as long as I live!!

When I asked the pharmacist if there were other complaints about them she said there were lots. Maybe they will stop stocking them if people quit buying them. I don't know but when I got home this morning I took a dose of the Activas and within 2 hours I felt pretty normal again, pain relief, and even able to take a nap. Tonight I feel like my normal self. Those meds are bad news. Did I mention they made me deathly ill? LOL!!

Re: JMJ (# 236)

To All,

Just in case anyone thinks I was poking fun at poor Lil, or those looking for good doctors, please know I was more poking fun at the similarity between forums and the ongoing nature of soaps. NOTHING funny about suffering. But some, like me, find a lighter side to almost anything. I laugh at myself more than laughin at anyone else. I do the dumbest things. If I can't laugh, I just may cry. I do find that when posting, the humor or subtleties of written word gets lost or comes off offensive. Never my intent. If I have something to say that may not be very popular, I will be more direct, not couch it in safe words. But I will be charitable. If it seems I am not, then I have chosen my words poorly. Enough suffering out there, no need to add to it!

Re: Big red balloon (# 211)

Big red, I liked your post here. About marijuana...I too do not like what it does to my head. Having had a large cerebellar stroke, the sensation from the THC, reminds me of the sensation I had after the brain damage. As it was explained to me, the benefits of marijuana extracts are minimal without the THC. A lot of the benefits are found in the THC. Not all, but many. My brother has a medical marijuana license, obtained while battling cancer. I, rebel that I am (not) tried it to see if it was something I could tolerate as a substitute for opioids. How else can I know, without trying it? I first tried eating it. No effect. Then smoked it, plenty of effect, but none I could live with. Affected my balance which made me feel like I just had another stroke in the cerebellum, which controls balance. Not a pleasant feeling for me. So, until someone comes up with something better, opioids it is!

Now they want us to see a shrink, by the off chance we are depressed maybe seeking attention, due to low self esteem, my words....not yours. How degrading. And funny our doctors could not detect a mental health problem and point us in the right direction??!!! Now, don't get me wrong, I enjoy lounging on a nice comfy couch, but not at a shrinks office. Not there. Believe me, these shrinks WILL find a mental health issue with each and every one of us referred by pain management. Oh, they will, because that's what they are being paid for. Just a downright shame we are no longer able to have some good old-fashioned pain. Nope, now pain is a mental health issue. Who da thunk it?

People that posted their experience with this Camber Pharmaceuticals 10-325 all had experienced unsatisfactory results as I did. Better not to take it. Distribution to pharmacies really ones responsible for what the pharmacies get, with the publicity of all this, the consumer does not seem to be able to request for any particular generic. All BS as pharmacies I feel, part of this margin of profits. Notice the more effective ones unable to get? I have my doctor specifically write a brand as medically necessary but still need to get whatever they have. Unless you are willing to drive from pharmacy to pharmacy and still never find as an example, Endocet, generic of Percocet, both from Endo pharmaceuticals. Most pharmacists will say that generics are really same, as far as active ingredients, and that too is Bogus because it's not required to be probed to see if manufacturer is in fact complying with what's the amounts of the active ingredients.....

You are so completely right! I have chronic ra that comes with frequent intense flares, also many other problems. There is def. something wrong with T194. This particular pain med from T194 Is SOOOOO BAD, that I am preying every day that I don't flare. The fda and the government should leave us chronic pain people with a documented history ALONE!!!!

I honestly like the T194 better. I actually feel like I took something and have cleaned my house tonight. I had to switch from Walmart to Walgreens because Walmart hasn't had enough to fill mine for the last 3 months. The difference in the Walmart 10/325 & the A333 was unreal. They made me itch & I felt no pain relief. I'm VERY happy with the T194 & hope that I continue to get em. Everyone is different. I've been on em for almost 10 years. I left Walgreens to begin with & tried CVS & Kroger before going to Walmart. So, needless to say, I've tried a few brands. The Pharmacist did say they are making em different now because people abuse them. It's extremely possible that it's the fillers not agreeing with you. I hope you find relief soon.

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.

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.

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.
