Oxycodone 10 325 Pill Watson 392 (Top voted first)
UpdatedPlease tell me if there is an EXACT replacement for the Watson 392 generic for Percocet. I know Watson has purchased Actavis. I have been taking the Watson 392 for years and the substitute does not help me at all. I take in combination with Fentanyl. Are there other companies that make the "Watson 392" configuration under a different number and name??? I have contacted Actavis several times to see if they have an exact replacement and they have not replied to any of my e-mail. CVS has substituted a Actavis that is supposed to be the same and it isn't. It does not work for me. The number is A333. This is an Endocet substitute and Endocts have never worked for me.

I don't have an answer...ALL of the Watson Percocet users are miserable now..myself included. Actavis is not working for anyone, making everyone who received it upon refill sick, going through withdrawal from Watson, in return, our pain has increased. I did find an article on the web today that said actavis was discontinuing the Watson oxycodone and replacing it with their oxycodone that is formulated without the addictive ingredients that are present in other generic forms of oxycodone. So the formula that actavis uses is not only completely different, it lacks what all, if not most of what other generic oxycodone pain relievers use to help with pain. Actavis is trying to get the FDA to approve their formula but has yet to do so. All of us Watson users have been calling the fda to complain about actavis not working and making us sick. we have also been calling actavis directly stating the same as well as walgreens toll free number to send a complaint to the main office that deals with the pharmaceuticals directly. hopefully with enough calls, this junk actavis is making and walgreens is shelving will come to an end. If you become aware of a generic that works as good or as good as its gonna get compared to Watson, Please let me know and Ill also forward the info on. Thanks and I hope you feel better
2 Norco 10/325 did not give as much relief as one Watson 932. I have taken as many as 6 Watson 932 per day along with Fentanyl 75 pain patch in the recent past. Thru surgery, and a dorsal column stimulator, I was able to cut medication in half until the Watson 932 was replaced by the a333 Activis. I MUST ADMIT THAT I HAVE TRANSPOSED THE NUMBER ON THE WATSON from 932 (correct) to 392 (incorrect) in my message. WE NEED THE WATSON 932 compound and process included in another pill by anybody. There is a big market for them and a lot of people suffering without them!
John, we are all suffering with this actavis crap it is nothing but a sugar pill. There is no oxycodone in any of it. You should contact the FDA and file a complaint many of us have done this including myself. The more complaints the sooner this actavis horrible generic will be recalled. Nobody is going to be purchasing this pill it makes everyone sick and has NO pain relief in it. It is a total waste of money and time.
Hi John...I know the feeling when someone else confirms what ur experiencing when it comes to such a sore subject as pain meds. Honestly, I have been reading people have tried the brand name perc, mallincroft, amneal, and I know theres a few others that I cant recall at the moment but they weren't helping control their pain...seems like nothing compares to the Watson. I called and complained and asked about the formula comparison from Watson to this actavis since Watson seems to work so much better than anything including straight oxycodone and brand perc and they had another dept call me earlier today that I haven't had a chance to call back yet but as soon as I know, u can be sure I will be passing on the info. Keep in mind, what one medic does or doesn not do for one, it might effect another differently....I myself have chosen to stay clear from the ones I have read aren't helping since it seems like we all have in common the same factors...Watson worked great, actavis screwed us up and didn't help at all.... instead of getting a script for a 30 day supply, I told my doctor I wanted to break it up and get a 15 day supply each time the next month this way if I try a medication that isn't working, I don't have to suffer for a month. so I have to pay my dr a visit 2 times this month instead of the usual one. you may want to try the same. good luck and keep us posted!
I was on watson for 4 years. I am now taking endocet and to me I feel like I am taking watson. No side effects at all. All meds give me side effects. Especially generics. I have tried several other generic brands that were awful. I can get name brand but wanted to try this first. I am so glad I did. They are really good in comparison to watson.
Thank you for confirming my feelings about the new generic Percocet. I have had discussions CVS, Walgreen's, Costco and other pharmacists. They all they say it shouldn't be any different and they on ly get what the distributor sends them. They have no control at store level. Not much knowledge either. I have always taken the generic per the insurance company and wonder if a genuine Percocet made by someone other than Watson/Actavis would work like the Watson 392...???
@John (post #2),
Since these types of meds effect each individual differently, it's difficult to say for sure whether or not another version of Percocet will work in the same way as Watson's once did.
All you can really do now is ask your doctor to write up a new script that specifies avoiding a particular manufacturer.
But with so many different formulations of the drug, it may be that you have to try several different brands/generics before finding another one that your body and pain tolerance agrees with.
Doesn't Norco have similar effects to Percocet as far as pain relief goes?
Thank you for your comments. I agree 100% and do plan on following up.
I have written many times here and to Actavis/Watson, Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, local stores as well concerning the Former Watson 932 (generic Percocet). After chasing around town, which I really am not fit to do, my pain Dr and I decided to try genuine Percocet. NO where in my area just south of Chicago did anyone stock them. Considering that I was already on Fentanyl 25 & 3 Percocet per day, he just changed it to 37M Fentanyl, a 25 & 12 every three days. It seems to be working, sort of. I still need to add one generic percocet to have some relief.
oh my i have exactly the same issues as what has been written i did read that the company who make this horrible A333 or i think mine say R333 are discontinuing the imprint R333 (what company is it i can't find out) but if you type in R333 in search at some damn site it says no results geez i bet they are trying to get rid of these and they are cheap so that is what the pharmacies go with my insurance company will not pay for the brand name and they cost a fortune
Well if it helps...I take generic Percocet endocet. ..its made by the b ame brand Percocet so its closest to brand ur gonna get n its works better than other generic s yet nothing is compared to Watson's
Pinecone, I believe the pill you are talking about is A333 by Actavis it is the 10 mg. generic percocet that used to be by Watson. Everyone is talking about how awful this pill is and has no pain control and many side effects. Best bet is to report this to the FDA and also complain to Actavis at their toll free number.
