Endocet Vs Oxycodone (Page 10)
(Newest replies first)

I HAVE BEEN ON OXYCODONE FOR OVER 2 YEARS AND MY DRUG STORE RAN OUT AND GAVE ME ENDOCET? SAID IT WAS THE SAME THING BUT MY BODY TELLS ME THAT IT'S NOT THE SAME. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CHANGE?

Well I have permanent nerve damage and require daily meds to make it through everyday. I am upset with people like you who think solving a problem for a few means others should pay so your son didn't have to be responsible for his own actions it is always easier to blame someone or something else other than the person with the problem. Sorry for your loss but pain meds them self are not responsible. I will hope you can live never needing pain meds but I doubt it. I should not be punished and made go to a hospital to take care of my problems. My condition will never heal and only get worse so I am thankful that I have help so I don't want to die everyday. The majority should never pay for the few!!!!

why does Endocet 10/35 not make me itch and Oxycodone 10/325 makes me itch terribly. Please someone tell me

I agree the Endocet does NOT do the same as the oxycodone. Being on pain mads for many years is not fun but in order to be able to function some during the day it has to be done.

ENDOCET IS THE BOMB. IDC WHAT ANYBODY ELSE SAYS I HAVE TOP NOTCH INSURANCE & only take Name brand meds for approx 2 years if not more ive been suffering badly from chronic disc pain in my c-spine & really all up & dwn my spine up to my neck due to accidents while doing backbreaking work on the waterfront ., yes im a longshoremen ( but im a woman) ;) & we are so spoiled cuz our ins. Covers brand & i pay $1.00 out of pocket not bein a show off just proving a point that i do get BRAND ONLY!! Today due to back orders on Perkiset for the past 3 weeks no one has the brand name in my area;( i tried several pharmacys) in difrent cities, thats how stubborn i am but i have noticed cuz i put two difrent meds same mg but they were vicodens & i noticed that generic melted slower., but since then i felt well the brand will work faster this is my experience but the upside was they worked longer, so today i settled for this generic & it worked within 20 min just a few min longer than brand!! They look the same & taste the same aswell!! So seriously im saving my gas cuz i been wastin up to 20$ on my tahoes even with flex fuel just bein a lil sh*+ tryna get my brand Perks!! So dont even trip get the generic if u gota cuz it beats being in pain & not being able to live comfortably WITHDRAWALS FROM NOT HAVING ANYTHING IN 12 hrs is a mFkah!! No im leavin out the name of the generic cuz it dnt matter!! it really is all in your HEAD !!

my cousin is a pill head. He claims endocet gets him the best results.. But he uses them i am sure just to get high. I just got a script and am scared to take them. He has taken all of them for years and laughs at me.

BOTH Endocet and Roxicet are OXYCODONE and they are BOTH classified at the SAME Narcotic Class The only difference is the B I N D E R which is used in making the pain killers is DIFFERENT. The binder and the AMOUNT OF OPIATE which is used in the making of the pills, Sometimes PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES add MORE or LESS in their creation of any certain medication. So...... Classified at the same NARC Level, Both Being OxyCodone, but BOTH BEING MADE AT DIFFERENT Pharmaceutical Companies is a BIG DIFFERENCE! 3 - ENDOCET pills are equivalent to 1 - ROXICET pill. YOU MUST INSIST to your Pharmacist that you REFUSE TO USE/TAKE ANY pill of ANY kind unless it is made by.... { R O X A N E PHARMACEUTICALS } This will force the pharmacy to THROW AWAY THE EXPIRED/ROTTEN pills that they are trying to PASS OFF ON TO YOU away!!!

YES! As many as 13 people that I know have said the same thing. What are they thinking? I ll tell you:

Since Roxicet has become a NAME-BRAND pain killer just like (Percocet) it is no longer a GENERIC DRUG and is now MORE EXPENSIVE and Most insurance companies will NOT pay for Roxicet now. Endocet is made by a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT Pharmacy than ROXICET. ~ MALLINKRDT Pharmiceuticals makes SUB STANDARD Generic pain pills called ENDOCET or they stay safe and call them OXYCODONE generic for ROXICET!, and ROXANE Pharmaceuticals Make ROXICET . If you ask for ROXICET the Pharmacy will NOT give em to you unless you PAY FOR THEM because they are expensive and your Insurance wants to pay $450.00 LESS for the Sub Pain killers, even though you have to DOUBLE UP on them to get even a PINCH of the pain reduction Roxicet gives you. All I can say is, Whatever you do, you need to CONTACT Mallinkrdt Pharmaceuticals and COMPLAIN! and perhaps the FDA and let them know that the MALLINKRDT pain killers are Breaking up, and Falling apart inside their medicine bottles! This will tell the FDA that the BINDERS they are using are INEFFECTIVE and SUB STANDARD and the FDA will MAKE THEM use the MORE EXPENSIVE TIME CONSUMING Binders that WORK! By the way, I heard of a LAW SUIT beginning in Ohio, and in California. The Pharmacy would NOT give the person ROXICET or PERCOCET from Roxane or Purdu pharmaceuticals and the person became sick because his pills fell apart at the bottom of the bottle he had to take two halves and sometimes the one half was larger that the other so....without realizing the DAMAGE he could be doing to him self... he OVER rx'd and two weeks later he died of overdose. WHY NO PHARMACIST WILL BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU STATE THEY DO FALL APART AND DO NOT WORK......SURPRISES ME, And that they are NOT taking this SERIOUSLY is PREPOSTEROUS!

You can get just Oxycodone without being Percocet (Percs have Tylenol) The oxycodone are aka Roxicodone, I stopped taking the percs due to the high levels of Tylenol I was getting and not wanting to trash my liver ! Roxi's come in many sizes (My son had 5mg after wrist pinning surgery) I normally take the 15mg, but then again I get 180 a month. I've been taking that quantity for many years.. Afraid to take less pills and switch to the 30mg

Yes, I have to have name brand. Oxycodone is a generic also, along with endocet. You have to ask your doctor to always put on the prescription brand name only or you will get generic.

I was given a prescription of Percocet 5/325. I have a badly herniated disc in my neck and went thru all the anti-inflamatories before being given the Percocet. I even took a series of three nerve block shots, which only lasted about 4 weeks. The first prescription of Percocet was actually the generic Roxicet, which I didn't even pay attention to the name until I ran out and received another prescription for Endocet. There too, I didn't even look at that generic name until after taking it because of no pain relief. About an hour passed by and I still felt no pain relief. I took a second pill at the two hour point and got no relief. That was when I called the Pharmacy to find out what the name of the first script was. I complained to my pain specialist that I wasn't getting any relief from the Endocet. He insisted it was the same. After some discussion, I handed him the remaining 27 tablets and told him he can throw them down the toilet for all I cared, but I wanted a script for Roxicet because it took away my pain. He wrote on the script "do not substitute". I went from pharmacy to pharmacy and all said they were out of Roxicet. My wife made some calls and found out that Roxicet's contract ran out and the only thing I could get was Endocet or the original Percocet, except the Percocet would cost me $218 for 30, Well, I have been in some terrible pain for a week, so I will pay whatever I have to this time. The bottom line is that there IS a difference between Roxicet and Endocet. It's not in my mind because I never even paid attention to the names, I only took the meds and felt the difference. I'm guessing maybe it just works differently for some people. For me, the generic Roxicet worked, and I assume the original Percocet will be fine as well. I just don't know what I'm going to do 30 days from now when I have to get another script because I can't afford $218. every 30 days when I was only paying $7.00 for the generic. I hope this helps those with the same problem I have had.

I was taking percocet 5/325 and just had surgery and the pharmacy gave me endocet. I took the endocet and didnt' feel any help at all. I personally didn't read the bottle to see the difference in name. My son-in-law looked at the bottle when I told him it wasn't working and he had mentioned the difference in name. This WAS NOT in my head as I hadn't even noticed the difference at the time of my complaint. I believe there most definetely IS a difference.

For me, it was a matter of my insurance switching. I for one am not pleased! my pharmacy made the switch to endocet without letting me know. I have started experiencing different & worse side-effects. I reported them to my Dr., however since I didn't mention the switch, they were a little baffled & threw different meds at it. Whatever happened to educating the patient!!!

I have been taking Percocet generic form Manufacture named Mallinckrodt for a long time for chronic lower pain.(white tablets. Rite Aid switched to Endocet (possibly cost control) which were yellow tablets instead. When I took Endocet 10mg I noticed they were LESS effective in controlling my pain very weak form. Also no pain relieve. I told pharmacist that I would like to exchange for what I have been taking right along and they could not do it because it was against the law. So now I have to suffer for 3 more weeks for a new prescription and told me to tell doctor to put me on the manufacture that gave me better relieve. Endocet suck in pain control.

That is just cruel of you. Im sorry about your loss i have also lost people i cared about to pain med abuse but i been going through hell the last three years since i got in a nasty car accident trying to get some quality of life back cuz the docs are too scared to prescribe the meds i need to lose the pain and get my life back. Please dont blame doctors anyone with an abuse problem will stop at nothing to get the drugs they want legally or illegally. The doc who gave the meds must have been convinced he was in enough pain.
