Can your doctor request the OC instead of OP for the Oxycotin? I have not been able to find generic, are you currently getting this from the manufacturer Actavis? The OP makes me very tired and nauseas and does not work as well, let me know...

Thank you, thank you, soooo much for all yall's support and replies on this matter. I went to the pharmacy and demanded my money back, and they refused. I filed a report and they made it seem like if I wasnt a dope fiend then I would not have a problem taking the tamper proof 80 mlg. When I explained that they made me sick, and (sorry to be so blunt) when I vomited, the whole entire pill came up in one slimy, gooey ball. Now you tell me how that is going to come close to touching my pain as I am a cancer patient myself? I wish sooo much that for those idiots that abuse them, that I could just reach out and grab their hand, and just a fathom of the pain I experiance on a daily basis would shoot into their body. They would fall down and beg to pass away. The worst thing about it yall, is that I had NO earthly idea that there was going to be a change. Had I of known, then maybe by this time, I would of slowly been able to be introduced to another medication that might work for me, but now, I am absolutely left to do what the dope fiends do, and that is to call the pharmacys and ask if they have the original brand. If they dont, I move on to the next one. I pray that yall find come comfort in whatever direction you need to go in order to find some pain relief. My advise is just do the same as I have been. Thanks for your time, sylver.

I just had major back surgery. I was having issues with my normal dose 60mg oxycotin not working.So I went to my doctors and he gave me a increase to 80mg.I was confused when i got my prescription, cause it had OP on it, instead of OC. I asked the pharmacy if they were generic cause those make me itch something terrible. He had explain to me that, they are the same thing just different formula. Well, in my opinion, they are full of s**t. I never had a problem with them, actually those were the only thing that really worked on me. Whatever theses thing are, they dont work, in fact my 60 OC worked better. I have a hard time swallowing them, I get get upset stomachs to were I vomit, headache sometimes, and I even get hives. Which i never had none of this before. Its not like they can give me anything else, cause nothing else works for me. So, we have to suffer cause there are idiots out there that sell and misuse them.There has to be the old formula available out there still for the people that are allergic to whatever they put into those, like me. We should not be their guinea pigs.

To Dfont , I spoke with Purdue today. Actually to the Pharmacist, very nice and understanding, I filed a report and have a claim number hopefully to get my money back and return the op's. They will never be available again as far as the oc's but do what i did and file a report. Then they will know this product is not working i will see my oncologist Monday and hoping we can find something compatible. Through my journey with cancer I have tried so much and that was what helped, I hope they do have something compatible. If enough people have legitamate concerns call them.

to Sea Says. I could not agree more. This is the worst thing to have happened. They took a med. that worked very well and now it untollarrable. Just so not fair why we have pay for the idiot abusers.

to DFont The pharmacy had told me they had 33 in stock. My oncologist wrote a new prescription and i filled those and have felt fine. I live in Las Vegas but now must fly to Louisiana where my oncologist is because of this change. This op has caused me to be hospitalized now fly to Baton Rouge. I think that the pharnacy should have told me what i was getting before charging me 1412.00 then i spent another 364.0 on the real ones. I filed a report with the fda.gov/medwatch and the pharmacist is calling purdue to try and get reimbursed for the op's and stated she needed to call the DEA which i told her she should. These op's do not work and they make you deathly ill. Like i said, I am a cancer patient and i take as prescribed and have a somewhat normal life. With the op's i became bed bound again. I think everyone should file a report the the fda and to purdue. The drug abusers will find something else to abuse so leave us alone.

To Sea Says: how were you able to get the oc's filled. It was my understanding that once they are gone that is it. all that will be available is the op's. I will never understand why we who have been taking them the way they were intended to have to suffer because of all the abusers. I know there is something in the op pill that makes you sick, and prevents the medication from being an active form. I have never misused the med. but now I have to suffer because of the idiots who did. Although we may just be wasting our breath, I wish there was some way to get back what was taken from us. I am not oblivious to the ones who have suffered loss of loved ones. But if it were not these I truly think it would have been something else! This is not going to stop drug abuse.

I've been taking the 80mg ocmfor about 4 yrs now. Just yesrterday I receieved my rx and they are the ops. I take the pills properly, and oh my what a difference it's almost as if I have to take twice as many tablets but yet i get a nasty taste in my throat and mouth, itchiness, irritable, and extreamly sleepy. There is no way that i can function normally throughout the day. I called Purdue and all they had to say is well if you take the pi;; correctly, you should not notice any difference thats BS, i told her and and started arguing and she hung up on me.
You know we should get a class-action law suit filed againist them regarding number one the formulation of the pilll and the effects that it is having on us, such as pain and suffering??? I dont know, Im not leagally educated to know if anything is possable?? Can anyone help this situation for us???

I am so furrious with the company for protecting the misusers and not taking the people who take it for the right reason. I got such a bad stomach ache, burning acid reflux feeling. I had to and get somethingt at 3 in the morning. has anyone contacted purdue to see what there reaction is to this. They are definitly not the same medication. the peop;le who were abusing it will just find another drug to abuse. Someone told me that now they heard more of the abusers are looking for morphine now. so it is not going to stop, If someone wants to abuse the meds they will find it somewhere else.

Actually, it wasn't Purdue that made the generic manufacturer's stop, it was the U.S. FDA. They are trying to prevent the severe diversion and abuse that has been going on with this medication.

https:/­/­rxchat.com/­wiki/­OxyContin/­

To contact them and the FDA with any complaints, please use the following numbers:


Purdue Pharma number for drug safety/medication issues:

888.726.7535


FDA MedWatch number:

800-332-1088


Are there any questions I can answer for you?

I am going to see my oncologist. I had to have a new prescription written and will have it filled with the old oc not op they have made me so sick went to the hospital yesterday. There has to be something I am allergic to and also no pain relief, just alot of sleep. My prescription calls for 2 80's every 12 hours. I have been completely comfortable and energetic. One op makes me dizzy, nauseated, in more pain and sleepy. Will let everyone know what happens with my oncologist and the pharmacy should have explained that these pills had changed.
