Endocet Vs Oxycodone (Page 7) (Top voted first)

Updated

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?

It all in the fillers that they put in the meds. Some manufactures fillers make the meds react better. Take the Watson brand they use different fillers as other manufactures that work with the body to absorb more of the medication. It all in the fillers.

Try getting the western blot test for lyme disease, I've been checking and 90% of people with fibro and properly tested for lyme with the western blot test actually have lyme. Fibro is a easier diagnosis.

I have been taking Percocet but now just switched to Endocet.
It feels completely different. I feel head achy (Ironic) and sick to me stomach.

I currently take Percocet (endocet generic) 10/325. I had to respond to "Genie" the lady who lost her son to fentanyl. I know exactly what you mean. I broke my back ... 7 fractured vertebrae ... pain pills didn't help much, so my pain management specialist started me out on the lowest dosage of the fentanyl patch (25) ... before I knew it, I was up to 100 ... if I didn't change the patch every 3 days as instructed, I'd go through withdrawl. Fentanyl is a killer. I requested to be weened off the patch but it took a long time. The withdrawl & side effects of this drug are horrible. Sorry for your loss.

You have no idea of WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT HERE. You are speaking of two TOTALLY DIFFERENT DRUGS, yet an ingredient in Endocet is oxycodone it also has Tylenol. It's made by the same manufacturer of the brand name & it's very equivalent in it's pain relieving properties. Sucks that it has to be addictive & that is what scares me yet only Brand that helps me. To much hassle in pure Oxycodone & it's just overall not looked upon any longer but as a substance of abuse,& these same little Scums of life are going to ruin it for the millions whom suffer from chronic pain from many different ailments. No one should have to be in excruciating pain in a society that can eliminate that kind of suffering. It can make some learn to do things that we stopped doing, now is that good or bad, all in moderation as it's said. Peace out now youngins!

I've never noticed a difference from generic to brand name. Just the price. Been on pain management for 10 years. My quality of life is awful without it. It's definitely a personal choice though. I personally enjoy a pain free life. :) to answer your question? You should be able to google pain clinics in your area. Also, your family doctor should prescribe until you find another Pain Management facility as withdrawls can be deadly.

Fentynal is a terrible drug! Did nothing for my pain, found myself going through withdrawal a good day before it needed replacing. Please note...NEVER CUT THIS PATCH. Because of the way it is time released, if you cut it, you damage the binders in them. You then would get too much of the drug at once, thus an overdose. So sorry for your loss!

Sorry for Your Pain; But that statement makes no sense!!! I happen to be a patient that requires round the clock pain relief from pain levels that if not medicated, I would either have a stroke or heart attack!! I feel had your son received better instruction on taking his medication timely or exercised greater restraint along with either having his DR. modify his pain medication to accommodate his pain level or just a break through medication on a timely basis, he would still be with us now!!!

Been taking legal Percocet 10/325 for chronic nerve pain & Sacroilliitis for years. Took new script to new pharmacy cos walgreens, my pharmacy is out. New pharm gave me Endocet.I got severe tremors & blurred vision within an hr of taking it. Looked it up & found out it has interactions with FIVE other meds I take! The tremors& vision stuff is probably related to the high dose
of gabapentin I take. I'm also really sickwith withdrawals.I was awake 4 nites in a row!!! I don't care what it says on paper, this formulation is not the same! I never had problems with my Percocet. I even had to change the time I take my Contin (20 mg per day) cos of the reactions I'm getting. My Doc is out of town til end of month. Trying to taper off them which makes me sick too.Im between a rock & a hard place. been sick as a dog for two weeks or had blurred vision up to four hrs & full body tremors. I'm filing a report with the FDA. Link is on medchat. Anyone else sick from an Endocet sub? Dope abusers & skeptics don't bother to answer. Thanks

No, I do not believe it is you! Same thing happened to me. When I looked at the bottle and realized they were different I went right back to the pharmacy and returned them. They were not too happy with me but I know what I have to go through. It is so unfair to mess with people's pain management in this way. From what I understand and I apologize if I am wrong, it is all in the way your liver metabolizes drugs. I have been in some very difficult positions when taking antidepressants, anti-inflammitories, even gravel or sinutab affects me negatively. They finally put on my file...no substitutes.

Bill I do agree with you on a couple of things. I do agree that Hydromorph is not Endocet they are different. I do agree that people come here to get help on meds. Because they come on there, they are in pain and battling other issues. For you to be on here and name calling is really not fair. Yes, I realize Endocet and Oxycodone and Percocet are one in the same. Difference is generic and brand name. I also know that there is a difference on how the generic brands tackle my pain. It is my understanding that it is the difference on how your liver metabolizes the drug.

As an aside, I also know that there are many people on here that are in real pain and drugs are being changed to stop the recreational drug users from being able to abuse these drugs. It is because of the a users that here in Ontario, we have to show ID to get our prescriptions and looked at like we are criminals if we need a script a little before it is due. My body does ok with Oxycodone. When the pharmacy runs out or low on them, they will substitute with Endocet or another generic brand. Don't know what it is, but I may as well just take Tylenol 3, cause they do not help my pain. It is thanks to the recreational drug users that use these sites that people in pain have to deal with the constipation of the binders and fillers so the drugs supposedly cannot be broken down to IV.

I agree with you. I was taking Oxycodone for the last year and my insurance changed and instead of going to Walgreens, I have to go to CVS. They gave me Endocet and I have to take 2 to get any pain relief.

I agree, my drugstore automatically switched and I did not realize it until I had suffered for a day. Looked at the label and it was Endocet. I called the pharmacy and told them. Small town, so they let me exchange them for the Oxycodone. The difference was unreal.

I agree with you guys the generics are not as good as the brand name but my pharmacy made a mistake and when I took my perocet in to get filled and filled half with a white oblong pill and then there were some in there that had a M and a slash in the middle of them it turned they put some methodone in my bottle also saying they ran out of the other white ones and now I am being told I can not go back to my ptc I tried to tell the pharmacy but all she did was to tell me it was a generic perocet and who did the ptc believed them.It was cvs and I have changed cause they mixed up my grandchild meds up and she takes cortef and they filled both her bottles wirh the baflen it was after a dose I found the mistake and they did zero about it but it scared me to death but I did not get an apology or nothing from eirher mistake they made in fact they got mad and I changed pharmacies but it does not do me any good any suggestions please.

If that was me, I would be finding out who the owner of that pharmacy is. If it is the pharmacist, go higher. If the owner is someone different there, find out who they are and write a polite but to the point letter. That is just wrong! It is getting to the point where pharmacists get away with too much. They should be giving what the script says and nothing more. The whole idea of pain management is to find out what works for you and stick to it, thus, managing your pain and not experiencing the highs and lows thus, quality of life. As for your grand child's meds, that just proves they are incompetent. I would be digging further into these situations. If you don't speak up, they just keep getting away with this and one day it could be really serious if it has not happened already. Good luck!
