Endocet Vs Oxycodone (Page 5)

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?
The whole pharmacy industry is only getting poor quality generics , I mean bad. I can't find any pharmacy that is carrying any thing but amneal, Actvis, zydus, par, all are garbage and people are getting screwed paying for these low quality generics. Yes a real free market system we have here.
I found them. This pharmacy only carries endocet. Thank goodness because I hate name brand. They had side effects.
Dowhatucan2stop are you saying percocet is better or endocet? I was confused. I have brand name and I do not like them. I like endocet.
Steve I love endocet brand. I am having a hard time finding them this month. I like them better then brand. Cvs is trying to order them for me.
I have brand name now. I hate it. I prefer endocet any day over brand name so they said they will order it in for me. The doctor wrote a script and wrote no substitute. I like endocet better then watson now. It works so good for me.
Wow! Try to get to the bottom of these generic brands...ok, what I found was that, I am taking a generic brand of Percocet. They are made by a German Pharmaceutical company,RATIOPHARM INC. (generic TEC imprint) and then bought by a company called Teva, in Ontario, Canada. For me these work much better than Endocet.
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.
Sue I don't understand. You are saying no substitute for oxycodone. Endocet is manufactured by endo pharm. and endocet is oxycodone.
No Bella, Endocet did not even touch the pain. I do find the Oxycodone does make me sick to my stomach sometimes, but I try to make sure I have eaten something. I had them put no replacement for the Oxycodone. From what I understand it is all in the way you liver metabolizes meds. Everything works differently for each person so it is just a matter of finding what works for you and sticking to it. I am glad the Endocet works for you. :-)
I take it back.. I'd rather have the Endocet over the Mallinckrodt brand any day. That stuff makes me so nauseous. Will be going back to Endocet next month.
Sue you don't like endocet? So I need to have my doctor write no substitute in order to have them order endocet? Is that what you mean? Thanks.
Bella it is a small local pharm. w/ my ins I usually pay $40 for my script at wall/cvs for acta/crap at local I'm suppose to pay $45. But at local he said ins didn't pay enough for endocet an had to pay $65. I hav to call ins. But btwn drug co. An ins it's all bunch crap how their messing with everyone's meds/health for mere sake of money.
Mallinckrodt is who manufactured these oxycodone w/acetaminophen.. But that's through CVS.. I have no idea who does it through Walgreens when I went there a few months ago.
I guess I never really looked. I will look and get back to you.. Thanks for the info!
Just a tip that I found when I returned the Endocet, get them to put on your chart...no substitutes. I find they make different excuses as to why they don't have them but somehow they magically appear.
I just noticed the post I put on yesterday was submitted today. Click on the link. I am supposed to be getting Percocet and this is what I get. There definitely is a difference between Endocet and Oxycodone/oxycocete.
Dee are you using a small local pharmacy? That's where I got mine but they don't have them now. It is oxycodone and Tylenol 10/325. Mine are yellow and oblong. I like them a lot in comparison to Watson.
Jenn w....your script bottle says the medicine inside is oxycodone/acetaminophen but doesn't say "generic for Percocet 10/325 with the manufacturers name on it? If not, could u call cvs and tell em u just got ur meds from them n ur bottle doesnt say who makes it so could they tell you? Im really curious as to what they are.
I'm confused. Isn't endocet oxycodone/acetaminophen. For the 10mg/325 is 8.9 active oxy. I am getting more relief from these. Got them from local pharm because walgreens an cvs in my area are only caring activis oxy. Which did absolutely nothing an caused me to have severe muscle pain in my arms. An I find that we can't get any info on what the ingredients are in activis. I wish watson would go back to there brand. I was able to take less and had longer time spand. I'm sure has to do with saving money.
I guess I can try CVS since endocet works well for me. I have brand name now and I don't like it.
