Some pharmacists steal narcotics by putting in some placebos, and at the end of each day, walk away with a stash, it's the easiest way for them to steal from you. A common practice among addicted pharmacists.

Just because it may seem weak to you doesn't necessarily mean it's a fake medication.

There can be fluctuations in the amount of the active ingredient, so if you haven't taken this one before, it may just have slightly less of it than the ones you were used to taking.

Or, it could be that you've built up a tolerance to this dosage, so it doesn't work as well for you and you may need a higher dosage, or a different medication.

Have you taken these same tables before? And if so, for how long?

If anyone isn't familiar with it, there are more Oxycodone details available here.

It is not true that a pharmaceutical company can raise or lower the active ingredients by 20% they can only raise or lower the amounts of binders and fillers. This can change how quickly the active ingredients hits you, making it seem as if one pill is stronger than another.

Walgreens changed vendors. I got these new yellow Percocets. After complaining to my doctor, the pharmacy and even filed a complaint with the FDA... I was sure the pharmacist stole my meds... After day two I noticed that I was passing the pills. They were not digesting properly.

Thanks for your reply, I have 13 yrs on these meds, I thought I was losing it because they weren't work and wrote it off to food poisoning or something, then I took one of my left overs fro\m last mo. it definitely was not my tolerance or the 20% +or- potency factor. then I traded with my room mate that is on the same meds (with out telling him) same verdict ! I also take 2 60mg morphine tabs a day so withdrawal was not profound. I would est. the potency to be 0 to 20 % of what I received from walgrens last mo. Any Thoughts?

Re: Welder (# 4)

I think this happened to me this month. I am sure the pharmacist stole my Percocet and gave me fake ones. I literally detoxed for a week and am in horrific pain. Suddenly I remembered that I had a few of my last months prescription in a tiny pill bottle on my keyring and the old pill ended my detox and ended my horrific pain... The prescription I have is bunk and my Christmas and New Year's is going to be ruined. Upside, detoxing after 4 years on Percs only lasted 4-5 days and was no worse than having the flu with hot and cold flashes. The pill is light yellow, oval with T194 marking... This is a "new vendor" as I previously got a white oval with A333 marking ...I've been I horrific pain since taking the new pills and thought I had the flu all week because I had hot and cold flashes for four days along with generally feeling bad and a crappy attitude... I was laying here crying in pain when my husband pointed out that all the pain started when I started these new pills. WTF?... I'm pretty sure I detoxed from several years of taking Percocet and I'm VERY sure these pills Walgreens gave me have very little if any oxycodone in them. What do I do? Call the FDA? Walgreens? My doctor?... I do not want to spend the entire month/holidays in bed in horrific pain. Please, any advice? Thanks :-)
