Tramadol By Amneal Vs Mylan (Page 3)

All our pharmacies here have switched to amneal, which doesn't do a thing except give a headache. The brand does make a difference. The mylan works great.

Has anyone had vitrus pharmaceuticals generic tramadol 50mg? I switch pharmacies and this is the brand they used for my new prescriptions. It's horrible how I feel when I take them! I worked in pharmacy so I immediately thought it's the inactive ingredients but what can we do?

If you speak to one let us know. I've been thinking about doing the same thing and having some of my pills tested. Everything changed in, I'm thinking 2012, when the FDA changed tramadol to a different drug classification. It's very frustrating because whatever they did didn't help any of us who actually take pain med FOR pain, it only encouraged manufacturers to put out a substandard product. Amneal, is one of the worse pharmaceuticals and it's the only one that my pharmacy offers.

I have been taking Tramadol 50MG tevo for years. I like it because, for me, it's like taking an aspirin. The pain goes away and I have NO side effects at all. My husband is ill and so I have to do all the running around and work etc for about 7 years now. It doesn't affect my driving ability, or anything else I do. I am able to continue with my responsibilities and not have to worry about anything. If I took Percocet (which I have for a surgery) or oxycodone, I would be a real mess and definitely unable to drive. I am 76 years old and still going strong thanks partially to Tramadol. My doctors agree.

Joanie.... What is the brand name of the tramadol you are taking? I am currently taking one made by Amneal which has chan ged so much that it causes a new kind of side affect each month, most of the time they are emotional side affects depression, anger, anxiety, etc., I now also have to take Naproxyn and Lyrica, with it. When I first started taking tramadol for severe spinal stenosis, it worked great for pain. But Amneal, and other pharmacueticals have changed something in their tramadol formulation that has made it very substandard. I would try a different kind of pain med, but my other alternative are codones which are worse for so many reasons.

Abigale...The brand of Tramadol I take is TEVA USA. I get mine from a Rite Aid Pharmacy. That's the only place I can find it...actually that's where I first got it. If I were you I'd call a rite aid if you have one near you or call all the pharms near you to find out what their brand is. Hopefully they won't change their brand. I take mine every 6 hrs and during the spring and summer I usually end up getting a shot at the hospital if I need one. My problem is osto and every other kind of arthritis in my right hip and back. Don't know what I'd do without the tramadol! Good luck!

Abigale, I just did a search on TEVA USA and found a list of TEVA distributors you might want to check it out....my drug store Rite aid is on their list and it's pretty extensive. Hope you can find what you need. Joanie

So, what everyone is talking about and nobody is saying is INDIA! All the brands mentioned here are manufactured in india. Indian manufacturing companies are shut down on occasion after distributing "cornstarch" etc. Instead of actual medication. I am taking caraco (check small print on your bottle.) ingles pharmacy in NC can get mylan - which is s produced in india but so happens to apparently be making a decent drug right now. Go on the internet and check zydus and the PAGES of problems the FDA had with them. Closed them down. There are hardly any generics being made in the us anymore. Are any of your meds working when you think about it? Is your bp on the high side again. Does your thyroid tsh fluctuate a lot. I hate to say, but the first thing i would do if i won the lottery, is buy all brand name drugs. Not a house. Not a car. Brand name drugs for all my family and friends. You can ask your pharmacy what manufacturers they can get. Then choose and have them write "____ manufacturer only." for mail away part d, most are from india. Almost all. If they have one that is usa made, you have to get your doctor to specify the manufacturer right in the script. The US tells us not to buy drugs from india then that is all they buy! I am a dye in the wool democrat, but if trump could get meds made in the US again, id almost vote for him. Btw, they say "its all fda approved." in india there are like 500 manufacturing plants and last i heard, 6 FDA agents! FDA means nothing for india drugs. Its not the government fault. Btw, it can take years for the fda to discover there are no meds in the "meds" then years to get them to fix it. Yes, if you think your meds are not working, its very possible (esp zydus - just reopened - no training even high school for people dispensing the meds, no record keeping, no sterile room in the entire plant (like rat hair in your meds?) and well, they are not really meds. Google zydus fda and read the letter to cease and desist. They were banned from importing to the US for a while - but then a slap on the wrist because drug supplies get short and they are allowed to reopen "with a promise" to make things better. This is all web-based folks. Indian companies are scooping up US companies and greed is running both our companies and theirs. Just read where amneal and aryka merged and moved to india bragging about their now 300 million dollar profit a year. Think their drugs are the same? One question, like customer service? Imagine them making your medications. Some native Indian folks will be pissed i have written this, and usually call american racists by saying this stuff. Do your homework. Zydus among the worst. Lupin is bad, Qualitest isn't bad but the best i can do for trazodone. My tramadol is caraco and doesn't work at all. Taro lamotrigine is about the best you can do - at least you may not having seizures again. My new generic thyroid is lupin and my tsh is through the roof. Is it generic in general or that Lupin really sucks?! My thyroid doc says generic only but its now up to about $1.50 a pill. Do your research. Cancer drugs are the same if you really want a scare. That's how this "its only water" not IV meds came to be noticed. Many died. This is not a joke folks.

You are so right. I checked my ibuprofen and it was made in India. How do you get name brand pain meds ?? I got my last tramadol at the hospital, it was Northstar pharamcies, and it was horrible, gave it back to my Doc.

Amneal brand of tramadol is awful. With Mylan, I have to take two in the morning and if I take any tramadol in the afternoon, it messes with my sleep so at least half the day, I'm pain-free. I take two 5mg valium at night to sleep but since tramadol changed classifications, my sleep has been so odd. I go sometimes only five or six hours and need to sleep again and sleep for four hours.. rinse and repeat. I don't know if it has to do with the tramadol or if it's a new fibro related thing. I recall Tevo being great but I haven't found it where I live.

Generic Tramadol is one that to me has never measured anything close to the original Ultram regardless of manufacturer. Personaly I wouldnt believe they were generic Ultram if it wasnt labeled so. Tramadol generic anything is garbage i think.
Rather pay the difference. If mylan is the best generic thats at least helpful to know.

it is same here in the uk,because of government cuts,the nhs is in a bad way,and are giving out what i call,dirty drugs[generic].they are horrible in the extreme.i was on zydol and was put on a generic,it made me violently ill,the pharmacy tried to fob me off,saying its exactly the same.i rang my doctor,and he immedietly put me back on zydol,he knew what the tory government are doing is wrong. they only care about the money,stuff the people who are ill.over 10,000 disabled people have died because of tory policy in three years. generics is a massive problem here.

Teva does not work for me. Does anyone know which major pharmacy carries Ultram or anything other than Teva?

Different generics of tramadol are way different. i have tried many and only the mylan works for me. i think the next best is teva. Amneal , zydus , caraco do nothing but give me a headache. The only thing about the mylan is it gives me a stomach ache if i dont eat. I take 100 mg 3x a day. I get mylan at warlmart and pay $20 for 180 pills which is not bad without any insurance. The first time i tried tramadol it was stamped pliva 616 and i remember it being way stronger. I agree the formula changed. I understand tolerance and thats not it. Also this drug does not work for everyone, but it works for me.

Walmart in this area all carry Teva only and it is noticeably different, does not work nearly as well as previous generics. They tell me "it''s all they can get."

Same here. Every different generic has a different effect/problems. One gives me a headache, another will cause extreme nausea, sometimes sudden projectile vomiting after "exactly" 1 hour. Messes up your sleep, etc. Last time filling it I inquired how much for the real tramadol, saying ill just pay for it, and they quoted me nearly $500.?? Holy bejeezes you gotta be joking.

It is un-believable what people that suffer from real pain have to go through to get help. When are pharmacutical companies going to get a clue ?

My small pharmacy switches tramadol brands often. Started Virtus three weeks ago. Now searching on the internet for my new problem; very soft stools began a week later. I have colonic inertia, so this is a problem for me. Pain relief is poor with Virtus. I have had BEST results with Caraco tramadol. I first got Caraco after three years, at different large pharmacy, with Zydus tramadol; first Rx, did not know there were other brands of tramadol. Took a lot of Zydus tramadol for fibromayalgia. I mean a lot! So Zydus did not work well for me, I found out later.

I'm having a miserable time since I started taking Tramadol Mylan 50mg once a day Over the last few days. My bottle says up to 4 times a day but, between the heartburn which I never get and my skin's been feeling on fire. It feels like I've missed a dose of some medication and I've been crying or agitated. Sleepings impaired to but, I've taken this once before for dental pain alas I recently cleared most of my empty old prescription bottles out . Not that I had many other than the two medications I get regularly which are alaprazolam (Actavis)?? .5mg at bedtime and my (Teva) 20mg Adderall once a day. Usually I avoid any Actavis generics because, they're nasty but, I didn't realize that's what brand they were which could explain why I don't use them every night. But, something's off and I'm just getting over a mild Diverticulitis attack so the antibiotics are almost out of my system. I saw that the FDA is not taking complaints seriously still in spite of their rhetoric about testing quality of generics. They also have recalls of alaprazolam.025 and various other medications I've seen people complaining about as well as the same brands we've all reported before. Somehow though it's never the brand,script and dose that was complained about or it's for packaging, etc!? ?? Which is strange and contradicts the testing page. Something's very fishy there and I think it's going to take a class action lawsuit against the brand and the FDA's complicity in keeping them safe from reprisals. Actavis brand's been responsible for multiple Deaths before in 2009! And just a year or so ago one of those brands were responsible for deaths related to Cortisone injections (tainted) I believe. Smoke and mirrors!

If you are having side effects with any medication be sure to check what fillers are added them. I took tramadol & discovered lactose is one of the fillers. Since I'm lactose intolerant, this explained my nausea, stomach upset & diarrhea.
