Endocet Vs Oxycodone (Page 12) (Top voted 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?

Hi. I was also on oxycodone for several years. Now on endocet I have the same feeling. I'm on 5/325 mg. I talked to the pharmacy and they say it is the same. I'm totally confused.

I just called my pharm and he has Alvagen (sp) and Auro-something for generic Percocet 10/325. Anybody know these? I'm on the E712 and wonder if I can do better--I'm only getting 3 hours max out of them.

I totally agree with you, I suffer from the same thing as your mom and I also have a very hard time trying to get the pain meds. We have to pay for those that have decided to abuse and overdose on pain killers. Trump also has alot to do with this problem as well, sorry to say but he does.

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.

The "price" you will pay for taking ANY of these drugs you are discussing is far greater than any of you have mentioned. You may well pay with your life. Find another way to treat pain. Do not take addictive pain meds.

I have been taking Percocet for years now. This is the first time the pharmacist gave me Endocet - because she was out of the other stuff.

I am getting no effect whatsoever from the Endocet. It doesn't help with the pain - and it doesn't have any of the side-effects I used to experience with the Percocet. With Percocet, I would get a little burst of energy, and I would get really warm and sweat a lot.

Nothing is happening at all with the Endocet. If only the pain relief was different, I would question whether it was in my mind. But the fact that the side effects are even gone tells me that there really is a difference.

I have an adrenal dysfunction that causes my body to have problems retaining salt. As a result, I crave salt. Endocet doesn't have the HCL in it - which is a complex salt. I'm wondering if that affects the way my body absorbs it?

And I think different people respond differently to medications - so we should avoid telling people that they are "wrong" or that their experience is "all in their heads." Surely we can be more understanding and supportive in our interactions?

O.P. is right. Endocet 10/325 does not work as well as Watson 932 oxycodone/ acetaminopen.
The guy at the WALGREENS said they were out of the Watsons. (This is after he already filled it).
But if you are reading this it probably means that you have already had it filled.
Just a month ago the Walgreens gave me a differrent generic Maxalt (rizatripran), These were (strangely ) not in a blister pack and they were FAKE.
So twice now in less than a month WALGREENS has short changed me.
WALGREENS, something is changing there.

I've had various forms of Percocet, oxycodone/acetaminophen generic the most. I just got Endocet from a new pharmacy and I notice no difference at all. If anything, I thought I felt it more. It's made by the same manufacturer as Percocet and I've had no withdrawal symptoms at all, feel the same. You shouldn't feel withdrawal so quickly, even if you weren't taking anything. Even if it was half the strength, you wouldn't have the withdrawal. Maybe something else or you were given the wrong med. Always check your meds. I've had the wrong pills a couple times mixed in. Never assume they're ok, especially generic. Check all markings.

I'm not sure what Walgreens was giving me but it was working. I had to switch to CVS because of my insurance company.. And they gave me Endocet, I have no idea how they think that stuff works but it doesn't. I asked last week if they had anything other than Endocet and I picked up my prescription.. Oxycodone w/acetaminophen. Took one an hour or so ago and the pain is pretty much gone. I don't know who makes these.

I take the generic brand of Percocet. They have a TEC on one side and a score on the other. Don't know if being in Canada make a difference on the look. I do know that this is definitely superior to Endocet. I find nothing takes my pain away completely, but two of these and at least I can get a couple of hours sleep. There is one of my earlier posts, that has a blue link. If you click on that it tells what it is and shows a pic.

I have been taking oxycodone 5mg. for a year now and went to the pharmacy the other day and was given for the first time endocet 5mg. It hardly did anything for my pain and made me itchy all over. It was horrible! The pharmacist said it was the same meds as the oxy , but it didn't work for me at all, it made me feel worse!!! Stick to what you take that works well for you! Endocet sucks
