Ana, I am with you, lets report to FDA and get this resolved to ensure no one else experiences what we and others have. I hope you have found some other relief to help with your pain. Please Take Care

Maybe I have a iron stomach or something. I wish all of u the best on finding either a pharmacy with a different manufactor or getting this changed from ur original pharmacy. No one should have to suffer from their pain especially when they have a script for a medication to help with their pain and it's either not helping or making them sick. Please keep me and others posted on how all of u are doing. All of u will be in my prayers hoping u get relief.

Riley.. I'm thinking we should report this to the news media... Imagine that are elderly.. & people who don't go on the internet.. That don't know what's going on.. At this point..I myself am afraid.. Of what is going to happen.. If Actavis takes over every pharmacy..go on Actavis website.. Cause I seen.. Other names that they(Actavis) are affiliated with.. Also this might be a bad batch.. That they don't even know about themselves.. I'm just thinking of different scenes that could be happening... I'm goin back to my PM Dr. Tomorrow... I'm already feeling druggy sick.. & I'm on Fentanyl as well... I live in Central Fl... I'm goin to try the media..hopefully the more people that see this in the news.. Will come forward.. & we can all get down to the bottom of what's really going on.. Again, God Bless... Talk to u soon..I don't know how we can do this.. But would love to talk thru phone or personal text.. Up to you... Take care.. & again Good Luck

Ana I talked to my grandfather which I posted below he is a pharmacists and he told me that the rep at Walgreens didn't give you the correct information. Oxycodone is not being discontinued at all. He stated the rep must of not knew what they were talking about or in a hurry to get you off the phone. He said you can call all the manufactors of oxycodone and they will tell you the same thing.

To Everyone: I received another letter from Actavis, the first one was very apologetic, this one however states: My complaint in conclusion There Are NO Assignable cause determined for the subject complaint! I want to mention that they have my Complaint Narrative as Patient Experienced drug ineffectiveness, which is one of them but NOT the MAIN One of my complaint, The Main one was Medication Poisoning, Vomiting, Upper GI Problems, then ineffectiveness however I could keep only keep down for maybe 30 minutes. Anyway, they called me 3 times and wanted Lot # for the med I received, I did not have it as I no longer had med. This letter states they took a sample of the lot # I received, analyzed it and the results met all required specifications, the batch records did not reveal anything negative, the finished product met all specifications in all trials during manufacturing! Therefore No reason for my complaint. Then there are the usual we do all required diagnostics etc before any of our products are released, all is FDA approved. They did not have my lot # before but now they received it? Maybe true, idk, But I do know my complaint was medication poisoning, upper gi problems & this is all back up from Hospital records. Actavis is totally in my opinion Dismissing my complaint and leaving it at that! I simply cannot understand that with all the problems people are having with this particular A333 pill that Actavis will continue to dispense this med or the FDA would allow it, its Cheap, it causes a lot of issues for people & there is a problem with it, I know first hand there is! I guess in reality the main thing is This makes Actavis/Watson a lot of money dispensing this cheap generic so called pain med & they don't care about the side effects people are having. They are not going to admit there is an issue with it, Its all about the Money!. This second letter doesn't even say we are sorry this happened to you! Anyway, Just thought I would bring this to everyone's attention if you filed a complaint with Actavis. I realize everyone's system is different & not everyone has had a problem with this med, But from what I see & heard, There Are More people who have had Issues then Not. Good Luck to everyone. I hope no one has to suffer what I went thru with this med.

Ana & to Everyone, I received 2nd letter from Actavis re: my complaint, First letter was apologetic, this letter Not - They stated they tested my lot # (however they cld me 3x asking for my lot # and I did not have it) & found No reason my complaints. All meds in this lot met all specified requirements, therefore No determined cause for subjects complaint! They are dismissing my complaint in my opinion & did not even have my complaint narrative correct, they had it as drug ineffectiveness, when infact it was medication poisoning, sever vomiting, upper Gi problems, ineffectiveness was the last thing on my complaint as I could only keep down the med for 30 minutes at the most, in which it did not help. Anyway, so much for the complaints!!

Hi, you are NOT alone. Since Actavis came out there are thousands of us suffering including myself. Were you taking the Watson 10/325. In my area I cannot find them anymore and have been told they are not being made anymore. I have also tried the brand name 5/325 percocet and it doesn't work for me either. It feels like I took a sugar pill that made me sleepy. This is devastating to so many of us. If we all report this to Actavis and file a complaint with Medwatch and the FDA something will have to be done. Maybe not today, but if we all report the awful side effects along with giving us placebo sugar pills that don't even touch the pain, they will have to look into this. There are just TOO many of us not getting pain relief and getting so sick. I had terrible stomach issues along with anxiety and feeling like my head was going to explode. Nobody should take the Actavis in any strength as it will only ruin your health and make you sick. It is just not worth it and if you have to double up and take more than you did in the past, you risk really getting sick. This Actavis stuff is a FAKE and it is poison. How they can get away with letting us take this crap is beyond me.

Hi marcy, so sorry to hear you are not getting any pain relief. The actavis brand is the worst there is no oxycodone in it and there are many people going through withdrawals because of it. May I ask what did you get at Walmart that was working for you I mean what manufacturer did they give you that helped with your pain? I am looking for an alternative as well now that there is no more Watson. Thanks for any information.

Marcy... Try to find a store.. That has Endocet... Call your insurance co...let them know.. See if your Dr.. Can write a new script for hydrocodone.. Until your next appt... I did.. When I first got them.. Walgreens did not want the pills back & neither did my Dr.. But I told my Dr.. About everyone's complaints.. I too thought it was me.. So Again.. Try to see if u could get Endocet.. The MFG name is Endo pharmaceutical .. Good Luck.. & God Bless

Lola; I take the "Amneal" brand and they don't make me sleepy, but they are not as good as the "Watson" brand. Activas was garbage and I switched pharmacies. I didn't know I could request that my Dr. prescribe the Watson name specifically. What other forms of medication is there for chronic pain when surgery isn't an option? I'm not too up on the pharma scene and somewhat at the mercy of my Dr.

I have not complained, nor have I wrote a post or ask my doc to change scripts. But I have had the bad luck of getting my script filled at cvs (I am dying from Cancer) and all that has been written here about this Actavis generic Percocet is indeed correct. There is a horrible difference, with horrible side affects. This is in no one's heads

Watson and Activus merged and since both companies were making Precs, they decided to go with the A333. They are absolutely terrible. You can call the National Drug Administration and file a complaint, (which is what I'm about to do) and let them know how this particular pill doesn't stand up to what you were getting. Its all in the fillers. Suppose to be 10mgs of pain medication and 325mgs of acetomen. and whatever else they put in there. I'm not sure whats going on but it sounds like a whole lot of other people are having the same problem. If you use CVS then wait til you see whats coming next, ha. They just gave me a yellow oblong with4829 stamped on it. Don't accept them, they're worse.

I posted a while ago as to how horrible these pills were and caused severe cramping and burning in my stomach. Someone replied saying it was withdrawls. There is no way i had withdrawls for an entire month. I have not gotten a refill at CVS since and i have been perfectly fine. Wal-Mart is where i go! CVS perocet r garbadge

Hi Marcy, I agree with you and who ever did say it was withdrawals in totally wrong. You would not be that deathly ill or for that long of a time if it were just withdrawals - plain and simple it is the actacrap that is out there. It is making everyone sick to their stomach and feel like they wanted to die.You mentioned you now get your refills at Walmart but which manufacturer are they dispensing. How are they working for you as far as pain control? I am now taking Qualitest percocet it is working okay and vicodin for break thrugh pain and seem to be having more pain free days than bad days with this combination. Hope everyone is finally finding something that controls your pain to a manageable level without too many side effects.

This is where the "It's a mental thing comes in." Activas bought Watson and is using the exact same formulary to make the A33's. The chemical makeup is the exact formula. I've done quite a bit of research to discover and provide this info. I encourage you to do a simple Google search. Thank you for reading and I wish you well in your pain relief.

Who is the maker of the pale yellow Percocet that has on one side 10/325 and I think a funny looking V on the other side? They are kinda a oval type shape from what I remember but it's been awhile since I was prescribed them. But those seemed to work really well for my pain. Does anyone know of the ones I am talking about?

I know the Walgreens in my area still dispense the round white Watson Percocets. They don't carry the A 333 ones at all. The pharmacists said that he refuses to carry those because of all the complaints with the A 333. I'm not sure about the other Walgreens around but the one I go to only carry the white round Watson. They will even dispense the brand if they are out of the round ones. I guess talk to your pharmacists and see if they will keep the brand in stock for you.
