Alvogen Percocet 10 Yellow Round 230

Updated

Just got these pills from my pharmacy after getting long white ones with the imprint m523 on it which by the way I love. But these new ones from alvogen are absolutely horrible!! I am still in a lot of pain and the feeling I get from them are next to nothing like the m523. I am wondering if the pharmacy will exchange them for me if they have my old ones in stock? Anyone know the answer to this? Thank you in advance.

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

However no, your pharmacy can't exchange them, so to speak, because once you leave the building with them, they can't take them back, as tampering is a concern.

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.

How long have you been taking them? There may be a slight fluctuation in the amount of the active ingredients, so it may take a week or so, for your body to adjust.

Thank you yes I tried returning them and got the same answer you just gave me. But I've been taking 10 mg oxycodone for a few years for chronic back pain and first time I ever had yellow ones so I have no choice but to continue these for the month and see if they will start to work for me. Thank you

wow I did not notice for the last 6 months I was taking yellow round C 230 by a company called alvogen. Until today my pharmacy for the first time gave me white oblong m523 by Mallinkroft. pain relief was unbelievably different. The Alvogen yellow c 230 imprint are horrible!! Now that I have compared them to what I got today being the M 523 10 325 oxycodone by mallinkroft. these white bad boys are so much better I had pain relief within 20 minutes. and I got nothing that I could feel out of the old yellow round C 230 oxycodone pills. I just did not know it until today because I am perscribed 40 milligram oxycontin twice daily. so because I was taking oxy cotton I guess I couldn't really feel the breakthrough pain medicine which was the C 230 yellow round alvogen pills. but now that I have tried today the M 523 10/ 325 oxycodone by Mally, my pain relief is so much better. I'm not used to taking percocets. I've always had either the actavis 15 milligram or 30 milligram IR blues, with Ms cotton for around the clock. For years. and from 2000 to 2011, I got the old OC 80 milligram oxycontin 2 tablets twice daily #120 a month. then once the OPE formula came out I switched to 30 milligram instant release actavis. which worked excellent. unfortunately here in Florida there were a lot of people coming in messing it up for the legitimate pain patients like myself, so a lot of doctors quit riding the 15mg, and 30 mg IR. and switched people to percocet which have tylenol in them and one third of the strength of what I was used to for years. until my disability gets taken care of there's not a lot I can do though. it's very hard to find a doctor and a pharmacy in the same county nowadays in Florida but I have found one finally in March 2014 I just got lucky today and got the new m523 percocet instead of those crappy C 230 10 325 oxycodone pills by alvogen. had it not been for the oxy cotton I would have not felt any relief at all. I used to have to take two at once to feel anything.

today I tried one m523 and it seemed stronger than taking two of the yellow Alvogen C 230 oxycodone 10 /325. for the first time in almost a year now have good breakthrough medicine. can't wait to move out of this county so I can get my 30 milligram instant release oxycodone hcl. Here in this county they make me take oxycontin instead of the instant release round blue pills 30mg. my lease is finally up and soon I shall have my old prescriptions back. I already have the Dr lined up as well as the same pharmacy I have used for years. unfortunately here it took me almost 8 months to figure out how bad the c230 yellow round pills were. I actually thought those were Watson brand because I know Watson has yellow and for some reason that was always in the back of my head until I read about them today after my pharmacist here switched me to the M 523. which by the way work very good and much better than the c230 yellow pills. I have been through a lot as far as surgeries, just so people don't think I'm some junkie I was shot in my head, which then made me have to get spinal fusion surgery four levels, leaving me disabled after the neck surgery, I have lived in constant pain. the 30 milligram instant release actavis oxycodone were the best pain relief I've had in years. except for when I was getting for 80 milligram oxycontin daily the old formula OC.

I now take 40 milligram Opie formula which works pretty good for around the clock painting and now I have the M 523 pills four times a day for breakthrough. and I have read a lot of complaints about the C 230 pills and now I know why. These M 523 pills actually give me pain relief for breakthrough until the next oxycontin dose. I feel sorry for all the people I read about that were strictly getting the C 230 generic oxycodone 10 325 by alvogen.these offer almost zero relief by themselves they're terrible. The only way I figured it out was when I went to get my meds at my pharmacy this morning they gave me an 523 white oblong oxycodone.... instead of the alvogen c230 pills. these are horrible I find the Watson 932 to be the best, but these m523 these are right up there. and I know the company as I used to get m30 Oxycodone hcl IR as well. So I know the company is pretty good.

I just got these 2 weeks ago & noticed a difference right away... horrible feeling sometimes then other times knocks me out as if I took a tranquilizer!! These posts confirm to me that these are bad form/supply of oxycodone/percocet!

I decided to look this pill up on Google due to the fact that I'm petrified after the last 10 mg dose I took that I'm not going to wake up.

It's also been giving me sudden severe GI pain/issues. After this last dose wears off .... I'm not going to take another dose of this batch ever. Anyone ever report this to the FDA?? I'm wondering if it's worth doing so.

I also came here to ask about the yellow Percocet made by Alvogen. But I see my question is quite different then most of the replys I've read. For me I'm getting the 10/325 and I've been off and on Percocet for the last twenty years. But I and many people I know that are also disabled like me Prefere these yellow ones to ANY we've taken over the years. I am 62 and I also have a morphine pump in me so I take the Percocet for what they call break through pain. I used to like the Watson brand by far more but like I already said these Mfg. byAlvogen for 'us' are the strongest more effective Percocet we've had in years. I can't say why I and my friends feel this but I can promise I know what I feel. I am an old child from the 60's so I guess you can say I have allot of experience with pills. lol.. I do know though that what works for one person doen't neccesarily work for another. I believe that is because of everybody chemical makeup is a bit different.

Hey MunkS, I to am close to 60...been off and on percocet for 20+ years.I used to get Endocet 10/500 but I don't think their available anymore.I was getting along fine on Watson 10/500's Lortab....you know,the blue ones until FDA screwed the chemical balance and went to NORCO...an absolute placebo! Question: Have you had ENDOCET YELLOW OVAL 10/325?If so,do you think the YELLOW C230 ALOGEN work more effectively?

I wish FDA & BIG PHARMA WOULD COME CLEAN ON THE "RADICAL CHANGES TO ACTIVE INGREDIENTS...BESIDES BLAMING...TOO MUCH ACETAMINOPHEN....B.S!" I have been on a CONTROLLED DOSE for over 20 years of HYDROCODINE(Lortab10/500,Watson or Qualitest)4 per day! I was able to be a PRODUCTIVE MEMBER OF SOCIETY with minimal PAIN & a little boost of energy! THAT ALL CHANGED FOR ME IN 2014! I did not want to change medication to sched. 2 oxicodone but gave it a try...NADA! I AM CONTINUING SEARCH FOR PROPER PAIN RELIEF...BUT ALL GENERICS ARE DIFFERENT.ALVOGEN IS NOT ANY BETTER THAN ENDOCET.BLAME DR's that prescribe irresponsible...DON'T PUNISH CHRONIC PAIN SUFFERERS! RESTORE LORTAB GENERICS TO THE WAY THEY WERE PRETTY 2014!

I really doubt they would. You already left th store with them and since it's something you consume they are weird about that. If you know the pharmacy real good that might help you. It never hurts to just ask either.

I have had those yellow endocet and they kicked my butt. I haven't seen them in years. So many people hate these newer yellow ones but I know they work for me and work good. My body has been through some weird changes especially after I got this morphine pump in me. Anything and everything works totally different now. I am going on 63 myself

You can get the Endocet if you ask your pharmacist to order them - I take the 5/325 endocet though not the 10 mg. The 5/325 endocet are round white pills with a score on them and one side says endo. They work fine. Not as good as Watson did and in my opinion and for my pain nothing worked as good as Watson. Endocet are close though so I have been taking them for over a year now but I always have to have the pharmacist order them they don't keep them in stock for some reason.

M523 are ok.. c230 are hit and miss for me. But personally the endocet brand (e712) & (ip204) seem to work the best for me and as far as norco I agree lortab/lorcet/Vicodin etc.. were great but since they switched to strictly norco almost every one of them seem to be worthless!!! I'm only 25 and already have 3 degenerative discs along with sciatica and nerve damage from a terrible car wreck and oxycodone seems to be the only thing effective for my pain to where I can take a relatively routine dose and it still work without tolerance issues unlike hydrocodone. Hope this is relatable/helpful :)

The truth government irresponsibility 1st they flooded us with highly addictive opiates ...why?? Money. Then 2nd to fix that problem their guinea pigging us on "new" generics with no labeling in what looks like blind community studies in lower educated ,pain pill addicted communities by giving us opiate pain pills laced with God knows what? With God knows what side effects ...their laced with naloxone ...the ingredient in suboxone ...they don't activate unless come in contact with stomach acids...they have a wax type additive etc. Research these abuse deterrents...if you compromise the pill in any way? You are at the mercy of irresponsible pharmacological and government officials who are covering up their mess and or passing the buck they have taken a bad problem and thrown gas on it by not notifying the public of what their putting in their bodies ...we have got to as society stop voting in leaders and then we say good luck with that and we don't watch them ...there's corruption across the board in just about everything that affects us it's beyond scary ,beyond irresponsible and we better wake up, get off our butts and decide to take back our lives our government and ultimately our freedom and survival...don't let ur leaders bully you with fear and shut you up by abridging your freedom of speech...I can only hope this message goes viral

These yellow C230s are crappie. But do they make you violently sick like throwing up or fainting. What's in there that's makes me sick like do u think it could be the dye they put n it or what., or some other crappie they put it the meds.

C230s are crappie meds by any means known to mankind by far. I'm going to report to theFDA fact cause I don't want any body going thru what I did when I got mine 3 days ago. I'm afraid these pills might put me in the hospital or worse.

They probably won't . Since I am a pharmacy technician, it is not likely that they will take back a controlled substance since tjey are strictly monitored.

Re: Oxyforlife2245 (# 6) Expand Referenced Message

Put a name brand One-A-Day brand vitamin and a generic one a day vitamin in seperate glasses of water and let them sit 24 hours. The brand name will be completely dissolved and the generic will be just as hard as when you dropped it in. It is the same medicine but the delivery system is different. The big pharma lobbiest bribed our fine politicians to make more money, hence Norco. People in pain take this crap and when relief does not come they take more or they take something else often off the streets. They wind up overdosing. So the victims get blamed and the pharmaceutical companies, their investors and the politicians make the money. The world has gone money crazy. People like Facebook and actors, politicians and sports players get paid much more than they're worth. Our priorities have gone the wrong way. Mark Zuckerberg gets billions for something that is not bettering mankind. We got along better without facebook. Instead of manufacturers making a product and some profit they charge way too much for their products. The world needs a reset.

The pharmacy gave me this round yellow 230 percocet pill instead of the usual white oval ones this month and I brought it back & they exchanged it for me because it absolutely did not do anything for my pain. It just made me super tired.

For yourself you need to get a referral to an orthopaedic practice, they specialize in specific bones, then if his x ray shows him nothing, show the pain you feel on the outside and ask for an MRI w/ contrast,,the coloration in the contrast will show any isolated joint or bone disfigurement. For your wife sometimes it can take up to 6 mos. To get in pain management, she needs to call and just try to schedule an appointment as if she knows her file is ready and then keep the person on the phone asking all the time frame,,have they received the paperwork from the doctor and how long does each process take type of questions

Patrick, I agree! How many individuals who work for the DEA have a medical license? The poor Dr.s are afraid to prescribe opiates for those individuals who suffer from chronic pain. The propaganda machine talks of nothing but opioid deaths from their use. So the result is that individuals with chronic pain suffer. It is all a cover up for the fact that the DEA can't and will not fight the hard battles, such as methamphetamine production by the cartels, and opium smuggling from the east. When they, the DEA got involved in prescription medicines and outlawed very few of the professional fields ie. pharmacy and Dr.s. fought the changes. So now for pain we get anti-depressants and other meds, in which we can not function under the influence. I want to see more research into "addiction" and how and why opiate use has increased some 400% in the last decade. Afghanistan production of the drug has also increased roughly the same amount! HMH???
