Percocet/oxycodone M523 10/325 (Page 2)

Hello all,
First off I'm new to posting here and I must admit this is probably a topic that is quite frequent and I have done days searching but can't seem to really find any info on my specific situation. I apologize in advance for the long post but I will introduce myself and situation.
I've been on oxycodone 10/325 for a little over a year now from a botched foot surgery and diabetic neuropathy in this same foot. It helps tremendously and seems to be the only relief I can get is from taking these. Whether its first thing in the morning to be able to stand up and get moving or whether it's to let me settle down and drift off to sleep which is something fairly hard to do. I also was recently diagnosed with PTSD from my job and I am currently out of work for this. It is not fun. The oxycodone also seems to just ease my mind as well as my pain and its honestly the only thing I've taken that helps with both.
I am under the care of a pain management doctor which I've been seeing since August 2015. My script is 90 for 30 days (3 a day). I try my best to stick to this as it is the dosage I'm required to abide by.. But at times I find myself taking 1-2 more a day than the normal 3 a day I'm supposed to take. Thus, resulting in my script "running out" early. So I turn to other means and each time it's usually something different. Nothing other than oxy but just different milligrams (sometimes 5s) and most of the time it's different manufacturers (sometimes it's pink only oxy no acetaminophen, sometimes yellow Vs and sometimes white IPs).
This last time I was given white ones with m523 on one side and 10/325 on the other. I became suspicious right away. After further examining them they also look rather "beat up" almost as if they were in someone's pocket for 2-3 days or drug across the ground. All the writing on them is lined up properly on each one and well centered. They seem very light weight. Almost like a hollow capsule would feel. Very chalky looking although there is a slight glaze on them in the light but nothing like the glaze that mine from the pharmacy have on them. And also you can very easily "chip" the pill with your fingernail and easily rub off the writing with your fingernail as well. And they dissolve into a chalky paste very quickly almost instantly as soon as they hit your tongue.
Which leads me to the next point.. Yes, I did take one. I noticed nothing different than normal for the first 20-30 minutes which is usually when the rush hits me. It felt like oxy. It was very short lived. All feeling was gone well within the hour and I was left extremely thirsty with an odd dry taste in my mouth and a dull but worsening pressure headache in the back of my head. Felt kind of odd. Not as I usually feel anyway. Kind of dizzy and couldn't really focus or bring myself to do anything. Was very sleepy actually and I felt as if I may throw up.
Anyways, this was my experience in a nutshell. I know a press for this particular pill can be purchased on on the internet for 150 bucks. I'm really on the edge about these. I feel like it could go either way I guess but I'm still suspicious. Like I said, I definitely got the "oxy Rush" that I'm so used to.. But is this something that can also be achieved with someone cutting these pills with fentanyl or xanxax or something else?? Im not taking anymore. I know the above aforementioned can easily kill and that's not something I'm going to play around with. Well I guess I covered everything that I wanted to cover.. And I do have pictures of these if you can even post them here and if I can figure out how.

Hey I want to remain anonymous but my first name is michael Collins and Im from a small town called manchester that sits in the foot hills of Kentucky! Here in manchester drugs run famous almost gucci like! I occasionally visit a street called Bridge Street!! I get the generic 10/325 there and they are real I do believe except for the occasional bed bug smooshed into the imprint but I simply jus scratch the bug off and confirm from the numbers it’s generic and Real! I love the rush. And yes I do occasionally share with my girl Frand Brittany Hooker! She has a hard time reading the numbers since her accident... she only has one eye now! Sad story but anyways - we snap the pill in half and then we read the numbers to be 10 on my pill and 325 on her half and then we don’t take the pill because we confirm the pill to be fake! Hope this helps!

I just left my pharmacy and picked up my monthly script. I have had Watson, RP, some others. The yellow AKA Bananas or School Bus I can't find in my area. Instead of shopping around with Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, Costco, some Super Markets with pharmacies, Target, Wal-Mart and the small mom and pop shops, I just go to my local pharmacy and take whatever they fill. Yes, each type (Brand) has a different effect, time of lasting, etc, however, today I was given these. They are oval and white. 10/325 on one side and M523 on the other. My label clearly reads the manufacturer is listed as AUROLIFE. I took one just before starting this post and personally I already feel relief. For how long, time will tell. Yes I take this 90 for 30 days so if I overdo it that's on me, insurance and my doctor will only go month to month. My doctor values his license so no shopping and my insurance will only let me fill 3-5 days early. How I take them is on me, I am a grown ass man and if my habit of 7 years has taught me anything it's to treasure what you have, don't sell them, don't give to a friend for recreational use, not even one. Hopefully, you can get the month out of it. When I crave and know the situation I put myself into I just sleep more. Less time awake is less time to take and overindulge. Not to be a hypocrite, I don't think I have ever made my script last a month.
Personally, I have had 6 back surgeries, 1 neck surgery, and 1 leg surgery. With my condition, I will be getting cut open every 3-4 years as my body deteriorates. I don't judge but I sure as f*** get judged and until somebody lives a day in my shoes I don't want to hear crap from anybody. Vicodin does not work for me. Dilaudid I is something I occasionally take but my doctor will only write one or the other. I am honest with them and they play fair. Dilaudid is just not my thing. I have and never will use Fentanyl, so for me it's Percocet. I also take Soma 350MG (it's classified as a muscle relaxer) since I have RLS but it states for pain. This helps (in my head) me get longer days with my Percocets. The purpose of this post is to #1. Let whoever know the manufacturer of the M523 on my label, again it's AUROLIFE as it reads, they may be part of another company, don't know or care and #2. Walgreens, CVS and Rite Aid all looked (not any longer since I switched to a local pharmacy) at me like here he comes again. With 32 lbs of metal in my body, don't look at me, ask a million questions, call my doctor to verify, ask for two forms of ID all with a legal prescription. I don't take kindly to being looked at like I have two heads. Now we have an opioid epidemic which has been around forever but now it's addressed. This opens the gate to many other channels and drugs.
Letsgetitright. THANK YOU MR KNOW IT ALL!!!
yep people do seem to have a lot of time on their hands.
I've been getting the same ones in the hospital. I've been getting an odd pain in the back of my head. I couldn't figure it out, because these are not the only pain meds I take in thr hospital. I can say... I'm not a fan of them.
I have the same question. If I line the m523 side all in a row face up and then turn them over the other side reading 10/325 is sometimes upside down or right side up. I got these from my friend who picked up my prescription and now I'm thinking the set fake?
3 a day isnt enough as these medications only last 4 hours even though doctors claim 6 hrs, it still isn't enough to get your sleep. I find myself in this same situation all the time. Many weeks i work over 70 hours and by the end of the day I took all 4 that im prescribed and haven't went up from 10s in 7 years, but with all the illicit drug abuse the doctors don't want to up anything no matter your situation. So many of us turn to the streets unfortunately. Good news though, I have found a natural solution for the pain and sleep and might in the long run be a substitute for percocets altogether. It's called Kratom and since i've discovered this amazing natural medication life is simply put better. Just wanted you to know your far from alone.
I am so sorry to hear that you are in the pain you are in. I understand, I have stenosis in my lower back, bulging discs in my neck, and had my MCL repaired. The cold and especially the rain-moisture keep me in the bed as well. I had insurance through my old job now I pay everything cash and it is absolute insanity!! My doctor schedules me every 3 months because of FDA regulations and I pay for drug panels (so basically a visit is $300.00) plus whatever I pay at the pharmacy. I just want you to stay strong and I will keep you in my thoughts. I mean eventually it all has to work out for all of us in this kind of situation..
Let me tell you something..... 10mg don't mean s*** unless you plan to take more than 6. The body and it's defenses are very tuned into what us *****s push and pull into our respective bodies...
Walk your dog with your chin held high and please hug your family no matter how you feel..they need you..don't forget that..you are a beautiful
Amen. Pus get on suboxone and deal with the pain I am..and take black seed oil...pills are going to kill you for sure
Addiction/ Dependency is very lucrative. If it come from the pharmacy go back and confirm. If not one has to realize that is dumb as hell. To many beating around the bush on these sights. Such nastiness.
Maybe you should stick to your dose, the higher you go up in dose will lead to the medication not to work for you. And when something else happens they will not give you more. Their afraid of you OD
This makes me so sad. I take these prescriptions because I've had numerous spinal surgeries and now have emphysema so bad it's bulging my chest out like a hump. I also have rheumatoid arthritis. I hurt. Every f***ing day I hurt. And I'm terrified that someone won't believe me because there are so many people playing with these like they are toys. If they take them away from me because they think I'm abusing them I won't be able to live with the pain. Not to mention my hands getting gnarled up. I used to be a beautiful woman. Now I'm horrific. But the pain. Oh the pain. Please do not waste your lives. I won't lecture you. I'll beg instead. Your people will miss you. I wish I did more things when I was healthy. Went for walks. Played with my dogs. Hugged my family. Now I hide. I don't want anyone to see me. I'm ugly. Please. I beg you. Wake up.
I know that this was posted awhile ago but I have had surgery to the point that right now the insides of my belly are on my outside and have had a wound vac for a very long time. I also have several drain tubes and battling cancer. I am on that medication and I either go through cvs pharmacy or walgreens. When I go to walgreens the imprint is A333, but when I go through cvs on one side of my medication it says M523 and on the other side the imprint is 10/325. So the fact that they have the milligram imprinted on the medication is not uncommon or unusual. If you ever have a question about a medication you should either not take it at all if it didn't come from a doctor or you can even call poison control...hopes this helps for the future and thanks for sharing!
I have been dealing with a lot of fake pills lately where I'm from. I have some of the m325s that I originally thought were fake due to their beat up like appearance. They are indeed real. If ever in doubt, there are a few tricks to tell if they are real.
1. I'll lick part of the pill and see if it has that bitter taste that pain pills have, then I'll drop it in a small glass of water and observe how it dissolves. If it dissolves slowly and evenly then that's a good sign. If it dissolves instantly then I'll throw it out. I had some Watson 853s recently that looked perfect. They even had the gloss coating on them. I licked it and didn't get any kind of taste. Then I dropped it in water and sure enough, it broke apart at the middle of the pill (not where the score is) and just sat there in the water. Parts of it didn't dissolve.
2. The second way to tell if they are legit is to break one in half and then grab a flashlight. Real Oxy and Hydrocodone will ALWAYS have tons of little crystals inside the pill that should be visible when you shine a light on them. I know this is an old thread but there are more and more fakes out there lately so I'm hoping this could help someone from taking a fake pill and potentially ending up in the hospital.
Thank you for your honesty and your experience with them you I pray you have helped many people not to put the others in their body
Its sounds like they were real, but got into moisture leading to the rapid dissolving rate. When the pill is chewed, broken, crushed, or otherwise dealt with in a manner that would allow quicker absorbtion, the onset of the medication comes fast as well. This also causes earlier peak, more intense yet short lived plateau, and the effects of the medication cease much faster than if swallowed whole. This explains why you felt the drug, but not for very long and had greater side effects. Remember its roulette when taking medication against the recommended dose and directions. With many narcotics, 1 mg can be the difference between high and die. Please be careful no matter the tolerance, overdoses can happen to everyone.
