Endocet Vs Oxycodone (Page 9)
(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?

So I guess we can all agree that everyone's bodies are different, and the only person who can really decide what's the best for you is yourself with of without the guidance of a medical professional.

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.

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.

Endocet doesn't make you itch because it is not the same as the Oxycodone. The insurance companies tell you they are equivalent - but they aren't. I didn't have any of the usual side effects with Endocet that I had with Oxycodone. But I didn't have any of the pain relief, either.

My pain management doctor told me that he frequently hears from his patients that Endocet doesn't work for them. He also said that generics can be up to 25% weaker than the original drug, and still be called "equivalent." He destroyed my Endocet and gave me a new prescription for a better brand of Oxycodone. Problem solved for me.

And as for the people on this thread who want to lecture others about taking these drugs - don't comment on what you don't understand. Not everyone who uses these drugs is doing so recreationally, and not everyone who uses them legitimately becomes addicted. I am a terminal cancer patient and I need this medication. I have been on the same dosage for 2 years and have never needed or taken more. Stop judging others when you don't know their stories.

I've been taking Endocet 10/325 , 2-3 x's/ day for chronic lower back pain. 2 months now. Just recently started to get some abdominal pain. What can I do to relieve the pain without stopping the meds?

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 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?

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.

Roxies have no aspirin In them and oxycodone does! They are not the same.

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT OXYCODONE IS JUST THAT 10MG PERC. ONLY NO ASPERIN. IF IT SAYS 10/325 10 IS FOR PERC AND 325 IS FOR ASPERIN

I just realized the name change on my medication. I checked it because of the color difference. The enforcer doesn't make me as nauseous. I am using it as a suppliment for breakthrough pain while on a patch. I actually just wanted to know who you are getting your scrips filled with. I'm getting 120 ct 10/325 for $66. Name brand was only $75. When I went to Walgreens tho, they wanted to charge me three times that. I have no insurance. But u still do t have to pay a lot. Find a mom n pop shop. They will give you a better price. I even have rx assistance for my fentinyl patch. Good luck

@ OK, in all honesty we should have the best medical care and quality of life, we pay for it and have fought hard, some have given their lives for us... until the feds intervened ad have influenced our neighbors you could get OXY over the counter in mehico, many third world nations don't have the same censorship the US has when it comes to drugs..... for some reason the feds are blaming the entire population for a few bad apples, yes there are junkies and thieves, yes they rob pharmacies but making every US citizen pay for their short comings is WRONG!! the Feds have Dr.s so paranoid anymore its ridiculous so MANY hard working honest individuals suffer a diminished quality of life, why? because federal agencies and local LEAs cant deal with the criminals they are payed to deal with?.... many 3rd world countries are much much better in respect to pain management financially and otherwise, many countries vicoden is over the counter and cheap, Canada has 222s at the grocery store? it really is a tragedy whats happening in this country, and calling people whiners and suggesting they just be quiet isn't the answer to anything other than communism, and my ancestors didn't fight for this nation to hear anything like that!

I know this post is over 3 years old but I have to respond anyways, if your son died of an overdose while consuming a prescribed amount then something is horribly wrong as doctors cannot and will not prescribe dosages that will result in an overdose... ESPECIALLY opiates! they are watched like hawks by not only the DEA, DOH and FDA your pharmacies are now instructed to oversee distribution quantities as well........ are you aware there are now (2012) on going lawsuits for the drug fentanyl all around the US? a relative was on the patch and he had horrible life threatening results and he could not be taken off cold turkey, his feet, ankles and calves swelled up over twice their normal size, they were actually weeping, (after 6 weeks use) once off the patch swelling deceased even while on other powerful opiates, fentanyl is a horrible drug, I would investigate its responsibility if any, I am saddened by your loss

I've been taken endocet 10/325 for months now.It seems that i have to take more & more to relieve my pain.I have 3 herniated disk,I've suffered a broken neck and had a spinal fusion from a disease called scholiosis.When I was younger I can't really remember pain but now work,yard work and small tasks take an effort.I took a M30 mg Oxycodone hydrochloride(Mallinckrodt) over the holiday because I was away without my pain meds and I'm wondering which is less harmful for long term use?I'm aware that percocet/endocets have acetaminophen and oc's don't.....

No, your informaton is Incorrect. OXYCODONE and ROXICET are the EXACT SAME THING but are Made at DIFFERENT Pharmacies

Because Each Chemist uses DIFFERENT Fillers, and Binders in their mixtures of OXYCODONE. Oxycodone is the (OPIAT/NARCOTIC) and is the MAIN INGREDIENT for these Pills: Percocet = Oxycodone(OPIAT) and Acetominophen (TYLENOL) & Percodan same as percocet but instead of Tylenol (CET) they Fill with Asprin (DAN) used to be the only ones. Then (once the SEVEN Year monopoly was LIFTED and other Pharmaceutical Co's could make these Oxy's... Roxane Pharmaceuticals created a GENERIC PERCOCET and names it (R O X I C E T!) ROXICET was the MOST REQUESTED (Oxycodone) for the last eight years so Last Year Roxane changed (ROXICET) status NOW calling it a NAME BRAND and Charging the Pharmasist 6x the original amount they used to! Thats when ENDOCET came along! Endocet = The Breaking, Fall Apart No OOMPF pill) These pain killers have MANY MANUFACTURERS. Here are some examples:
1) ROXICET is by - ROXANNE
2) ENDOCET is by- PURDUE PHARMA
3) MALICET is by - MALLINKRT
4) WATSICET is by- WATSON
They are all the same for pain and all use OXYCODONE, some use Less some More and the Fillers and Binders are ALL different and Act differently to Any Obe Person in its Own Unique way!
Hope this helps! p.s. medical and pharmacy will always use the least expensive, this is always the way it is. Like they say: Your lucky to have ANY at all!

No It IS NOT the same..... They use DIFFERENT Binders and Different Fillers in EACH of their OWN Chemistry of the Making of there Pills. Please do Not pretend to know how others respond to a pill by telling them that it is All In Their Headds! Shame on YOU!

I Agree. I was in a car accident about 6 monthes ago and had to start taking Percocet every now and then the pharmacy wont have 120 10mg percocet in so they give me endocet, they work exactly the same. I was never a big pill taker before, but now that i have to take them daily i reaserched this the first time they switched them. I hope to get my back fixed soon and not have to take any, but be it percocet or endocet they both work well for me. Look everyone it's just a different name and shape, It's in your mind

My endocet cost almost a hundred dollars, the drugest told me percocet was $8.00 a pill now. My drugest gave me oxycod one time, it was $44.00, and don't even ease a headache. The drugest said it did not have coddone in it. I was to get percocet. I have 3 broke and 9 cracks in 7 ribs, with 98% auther. Had nerve pain and operation on hands, pain in heel, can't hardly walk or move because of pain.
