Watson Brand Oxycodone Vs. Mallinkrodt Brand Oxycodone (Page 2) (Top voted first)

I have 3 herniated disc in my lower back and severe nerve damage down my leg. I've been on Oxycodone 10/325 for the past 4 years. I have always gotten the Watson brand which would keep my pain under control somewhat up until the other day I was given Mallinkrodt brand because my pharmacy had ran out of Watson. These Oxycodone made by Mallinkrodt don't touch my pain what so ever. It's like taking a sugar pill. I'm in extreme pain and don't know what to do or how to go about this. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP

I don't know how you could think Watson or Endocet are even remotely better than Mallinkrodt! The first two are even physically smaller by about 30% than the Mallinkrodt brand. Watson and Endo are so week compared to Mallinkrodt that I won't even fill a scrip if the pharmacy is out of Mallinkrodt. They are the highest quality and one of the original Percocet generics. You may just need to get acclimated to them but you are slighting yourself if you stick with the Endo or Watson. They are poor quality and cheaper as a result.

Has your Dr. put you on Hydroco/APAP 10-325 (Percocet) before?
This generic for Norco 10-325.
I have to take these all of the time.

I really don't know what to say here I thought the brand name was better also but the gov FDA the main pain killer is oxycodone . which has to be the same its the law 2+2 is 4 its not 3 yes there is a range how much Oxycodone which can be used but all in all its the same thing. 100 percent cased close if you dont believe go to your pdr book and look up active ingredient so yes its in your head who doesn't think its the same
