Actavis A333's Are A Joke

Updated

These new A333's are a joke.. I have had multiple lower back surgeries as well as multiple screws and rods. I have been in PM for 5+ years. About a month or so these A333's came in to CVS and I might as well be eating tic tacs. They have no affect whatsoever excpet making me feel sick. No pain relief at all. Does anyone know if it is just CVS dispencing these? It almost feels like I am going through withdrawals with these

I am very sorry that these aren't working for you.

I don't know what the problem is, but there have been a lot of complaints about them. I think you should report it to the FDA, you can call them at 888-463-6332.

The only other suggestion I have is to contact your doctor and ask about trying a different medication.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I went to CVS got mine filled on Feb 18 2014 it was also the Actavis brand Oxycodone and I have taking different brands before and never had this feeling. I am having really high blood pressure, chest pain, my left arms feels asleep, my left leg as well,plus I get this pain down my left leg. I get them filled on the 18th and only takin 11 of them, even though they are prescribed 4 x day. I took 1 Tues morning at 11 am and by 3pm all them signs above came on, it lasted till wed about 6 to 7 pm. everything went back to normal. My blood pressure was fine, and non of the signs about. The only other thing I took was my blood pressure pills. I called the pharmacy and asked them if it had anything to do with the new Actavis Oxycodone since that is the only thing NEW IS THE BRAND ACTAVIS OXYCODONE. I was told it should not do that as you have been taking Oxycodone and have been fine with it and the Actavis Brand should not cause those issue's. I don't believe that cause like he said I have been on it with NO problems till Feb 18 2014 when I got the Activais brand. Someone needs to get things straight cause after all that started I went looking online and I see all these complaints about the ACTAVIS brand Oxycodone. Here it has been since Tues Morning I took my last one and after last night around 6 to 7 pm every thing is normal now. No Chest pain, No arm being asleep, No left leg feeling asleep or hurting, blood pressure is stable. This is not a joke. That medcine is messing with people.Like I said I have taken other brands and never had this before. So it is the Actavis brand. I guess someone has to actually die before it is looked into. I am hurting severally but since I really sit down made sure it was that I wanted everyone to know it is the ACTAVIS Brand doing this. So tell me WHY it only does it with the ACTAVIS Brand. Oxycodone pill A333. Does it have something different in it or is it something there using to get people off that medicine? If it is they should tell people. I really dont take tham like they are prescribed. They are give 4 X day I may take them in the morning mostly and toward the after noon. Then when I get my new one I pour the other one down the toilet. Now I wished I had kepted my old ones. I guess we learn the hard way..Tell me WHY why why only those brand are doing this.

I AM ON GENERIC PERCOCET'S TOO. I GET MY SCRIPTS FILLED AT WALLGREENS, I USED TO HAVE A DIFFERENT PHARMACY, BUT THEY WERE BOUGHT OUT BY WALGREEN'S. I USED TO BE ON ENDOCET'S & THEY WORKED REALLY WELL AT HELPING MY SEVERE PAIN, I STAY IN PAIN 24 HR A DAY, I HAVE SEVERE BACK PROBLEMS & SEVERE NERVE NAMAGE IN BOTH MY FEET & LEGS & MY LEFT HAND ! WHEN I FIRST SWITCHED TO WALGREENS THEY GAVE ME THE IP'S, BUT NOW THEY ARE GIVING ME THE A333 & I HAVE WORST HEADACHES, MY ACID REFLUX IS WORST & I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY STOMACH SINCE I HAVE BEEN ON. THEM. ACTAVIS NEEDS TO LET US KNOW WHAT FILLERS THEY ARE USING & THEY NEED TO KNOW THIS JOKE OF A PAIN PILL DOES NOT WORK !!!!

I have been taking 10 mg A333's for one year without complaint, but the last script I picked up doesn't work. When I take my normal dose, nothing happens. I used to feel great, full of energy and my pain was diminished quite a bit. Now after two hours or so I become extremely sleepy. I even pass out during a conversation and have lucid dreams. I wake up not knowing what has just been said to me and sometimes I'll say something related to the lucid dream that makes no sense.
The difference between these pills and the one's I received last month is like night and day. It's as if they are fake pills filled with some sort of substitute medication i.e.
Sleep medication. These pills are very expensive. I'm on Obamacare and cannot get my medicine from the two pharmacies I am required to go to.

My husband is waiting for his back surgery in November and has been taking pain medication for a long time. This medication was given to him this past Friday. The side effects are terrible and with no relief. We are contacting the manufacturers and praying for some answers. We all need to get in contact with each other and get a legal suit going.
