White Oblong Pill A 333 Not Working (Page 6)

Hi I just started taking this A333 white oblong pill. (Generic Percocet. 10/325). I never had this type before and got it due to pharmacy supply. My question is has anyone noticed a difference in pain relief from other brands. Maybe it's me but it doesn't seem to work as well. Can't wait to hear some other input on this. Thanks.

Jennifer, I've looked everywhere on the bottle and all the labels but found no manufacturers name. I did have the prescription filled at Walgreens. I will be requesting the oxycodone 15mg green tablets back even though the are a pain to cut. The only reason I changed was because not only do I have severe back and shoulder pain but also suffer from COPD with asthma, so the 15mg was interfering with my breathing to much whereas if I cut/broke them in half I could adjust them for my breathing. I just got to a point where I couldn't break them anymore and the pill cutter was not capable off cutting them right at the score mark without making very unequal cuts. Guess I should jave left well enough alone.

Jennifer, just found the manufacturers name-ACTAVIS. Yup, I'll be requesting my oxycodone 15mg back. Glad I'm not crazy. I'm a retired nurse and couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting relief using the ACTAVIS. I know now. I thought the FDA monitored this but guess I was thonking wrong.

Actacrap. ..that explains it! Dont remember if I mentioned it before but straight oxycodone is now made with an abuse deterrent formula which is why its probably harder to break

I was giving a332 by my doctor which ate 7.5 325mg. They made my stomach hurt so I decided to look the pill up on the web and was amazed ar how many people r having problems with the pills with this manufactor. I did not take anymore and the next day my stomach was still boring me and I had no energy. I took vitamins and got enough strength to take the .meds back to Walgreen. They took the meds back and told me they will call the doctor about this tomorrow. As I write this I am in the bed and I have no energy and my stomach is still upset. If I don't feel any better soon I will go to er. I have been taken pain meds for years and I have never had a reaction like this before.

SYLVIA, if youre no longer taking your usual pain meds, your body can be going through withdrawals at the same time.

Bill, your the latest to post your dicontent with this pill form. I had just posted your same concerns about a week ago. There is a lady posting on this exact problem, her name is Jennifer. Continue reading down on the other comments. She is well informed. Unfortunately the drug companies arent paying us much attention. You might ask your doctor for something different for your pain management. Good lucl tp you and God bless.

Hi, Bill. No, it isn't just you. There have been many complaints about he Actavis oxycodone and a year and a half ago, complaints on their hydrocodone as well. People, including myself, are complaining of no pain relief, terrible side effects and even going through Withdrawl while taking them. You need to call Actavis and the FDA and complain. The FDA will investigate if they get enough complaints. Don't ask me what enough is since people have been complaining since last January and nothing, it seems, has been done! These meds are pure crap! I've never had a med make me so sick in my life!

Vernon.... in my experience, Actavis is not cheaper to the consumer! All oxycodone Rex's seem to be outrageously priced! I pain $218 for 180 tabs in October. To me, that is not cheap! Not when you can get Endocet from Endo pharm for under $100 for the same med! And, hydrocodone is way cheaper yet. I have a hard time with hydrocodone and that is why I was changed to oxycodone. I am seriously thinking about going back to the Norco and putting up with the extreme headaches because I never want to go through what I'm going through now! There is no guarantee that I will never get Actavis again! I am so tired of our pain meds going to crap! My pain is so freaking out of control, not to mention the other terrible side effects!

Leo, I call and talked to someone at Actavis 3 days ago.....they did not seem interested in anything I had to say. That tells me that they are hearing the same horror stories from many people and yet they aren't going to do anything about it! I do not see why they can't use watsons formula. Someone I know gets hydrocodone made by Watson. The Watson name & number is on the pills. So, why can't they do the same with oxy? I am thoroughly disgusted! I also contacted the FDA. They are sending me the MedWatch form to fill out....I did hear you can fill it out online also. We all need to ban together and keep calling in our complaints. Without that, there is nothing anyone can do.

Sunni, contact the FDA yourself. Do not trust the pharmaceutical company to do it! You can go to the FDA website and fill out a MedWatch form.....I believe you can do it online. If not, I think you can print it out, fill it out and mail or fax back to FDA.

Hey tracy....fyi.....I had to pay for my endocets last month due to a lapse in my insurance from a mistake they made....im getting refunded, but the cost were $235. Then I asked my pharmacist if he knew of any of those discount med cards n he said he had one he would apply to my meds and they turned out to cost me $119. So anyone paying out of pocket, ask ur pharmacist if he happens to know of or have any discount cards you can apply to your bill to bring the cost down!

I think they work better than the ones that have no Tylenol, tiny little pink 10 MG with no Tylenol. I think everyone just likes the pure purrs because they abuse them but I actually feel more pain relief from those big white 10 MG than the little ones but I don't abuse them.

I had APL TENDON THUMB ARTHROPLASTY surgery in November 2014. The pain was excruciating for about 2 weeks. But I received 10mg Percocet that relieved that pain and allowed me to sleep. I just had surgery today (1/19/2015) to remove the K-wire (pin) that was inserted in November (7 minute surgery). I was given a Percocet Rx and Walgreens filled it with the ACTAVIS A332. THIS DRUG DID NOT RELIEVE PAIN, CAUSED HEADACHE AND STOMACH PAIN! I can't sleep and waiting for the doctor to get into the office and change the medication. All the information given on this site is so appreciated. THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL.
