Brand Ms Contin 100mg 60mg And Brand Dilaudid 8mg

Updated

Has anyone in the chicagoland area been receiving prescriptions of both 100mg and 60mg BRAND (Purdue Pharma, L.P.) MsContin and thought they were not working as well as usual? I have also noticed a very strong salty taste to them along with their weight being off and weighing much lighter that ones I have got in past prescriptions.
I am also experiencing this with BRAND (Purdue Pharma, L.P) Dilaudid 8mg tablets. They don't seem to be relieving my pain nearly as well and many have had a very strong salty taste to them.

Does anyone have any advice? I have been filling them at Walgreens. My doctor made me change pharmacies b/c the small, independent pharmacy I was going to before wasn't putting all my Rx's into the IL RX Monitoring Database. The ONLY medication of mine I am getting that appears to work as it has been is my Duragesic 100mcg patch (BRAND- Janssen).

I have a fractured L1, L2, L3, herniated disc b/w L5 & S1, a fractured C5, and pinched nerves at S1, L5, C3, & C8.
I have been on brand name MsContin for nearly 7 years and I have never come across tablets that taste, weigh, and have such a minute effect on relieving my pain.

Can anyone suggest anything? I currently have my scripts for all 4 (MsContin 100mg, 60mg, Dilaudid 8mg, & Duragesic 100mcg). They were supposed to be filled on 5/26/14, but I am very concerned about where I will get them filled this month.
Thank you FOR ANY suggestions or information you may have! If anyone else has been experiencing this regarding the MsContin or Dilaudid, please let me know. Thanks again and have a wonderful and pain free day!
