Rhodes Pharm Manufacturer For Rp 10/325 Generic For Percocet (Top voted first)

Horrible experience with RP 10/325 generic for Percocet 10/325 prescribed by my Pain Mgt Dr. I got the prescription filled at Walmart a month ago. Since that time, I have been in withdrawals, with aching muscles, mostly in my shoulders and wrists, the pain I felt before going on any pain pills over 25 years ago, also the chills and sweating, just as if I were in complete withdrawal. I took the bottle to the pharmacy and told the pharmacist what was happening and he told me he has had no other complaints and couldn't do anything for me...okay, so my husband is now picking up my new monthly prescription at Walgreens, and the manufacturer is Actavis, which I believe is the old Watson and I am praying they will take away the withdrawal feelings. Has anyone else had this issue with the Rhodes Pharm Manufacturer?

REPORT

Yes, I had the same exact issue in November 2016 and again in December. The newer generic pills gave me about 3 days of cold sweats, fatigue, and some nausea. Whenever I came across an older Watson or A- brand, the pill actually worked. I wanted to be certain, so I waited until today to tell my pharmacist. I have been on the same script for about 10 years for degenerative disc pain. I think that that qualifies me to discern between the two. The pharmacist gave me a mixture of the old that worked, the ones that don't help, and a new generic. It was all that she had in stock. I took the A- brand and it worked wonderfully in comparison to the new generic. I plan on taking them back this week. I just hate sounding like an opiate addict to the pharmacist, but ineffective generic pills deserve to be pointed out.

I've been taking Actavist 10/325 Percocets for a several years. Never had problem. My last refill I got Rhodes 10/325 Percocets and they don't work with a crap! Today I took my first Rhodes, and I'm feeling withdrawals and my pain is NOT diminished at all... I think I got 325 Tylenol, but no Oxy. I called Walgreen's... they said they couldn't get Actavist and call my Doc... Even if I got a new script, they said my insurance wouldn't pay for a new Rx. My last script for 100 pills (I've been dropped 20 pills/mo) cost me $26.52... Used to be $47.00... I guess by removing the Oxy, they're $20 cheaper! SoB's

Yes, it is not just you! There have been others that have complained about them. It does work for some people, but not for all.

There have been far less complaints about the one from Actavis.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

Have you tried taking it, yet?

Yes. Last month, I filled my prescription at Walmart and got the white pills with RP on one side and 10 325 on the other. They are made by Rhodes Pharmaceuticals. They are weak when compared to the Actavis (larger yellow pill) 10/325 generic percocet that I had gotten for the last 2 years at Publix. I didn't have withdrawal symptoms, but they were significantly weaker for handling my pain. I would say they felt like 5/325 - 7.5/325 strength pills that I have taken before. I just filled my prescription at Publix and am taking the Activis med again. Definitely a good difference in my pain management.

You all are not alone. I'm in Pain management for a crushed leg for one issue and I never had one single problem with my Percocet 10/ 325 until it was filled by RHODES. I thought I was goijng to die and the month of June of 17 was going through help. Withdrawals, severe headaches, sick at my stomach constantly and the list goes on and on. I will never be in a pharmacy and not ask if my scrip will be filled by this poison. I feel for each and every one of you. I'm new here and I want to help and I need help as well. Thank you

Yes. Horrible. They do not work. Been on oxycodone for years. No pain relief. Withdrawals. Itching, chills, jaw pain, neck pain, rashes, feeling irritable and I can't get out of bed. Aurobindo brand is just as bad if not worse from India. I found an independent pharmacy that carries Endocet. Healthmart. Look it up in your area and see if they can order it or may have what works. I've suffered for 3 months with no pain relief. Aurobindo brand is made in India. The doctor doesn't care. I've told him how much I've suffered.

Yeah... I was getting Actavist 10/320 for a few several years, never had a problem... my last Rx was switched to these RP/10/325 Percocets... they don't work with a crap.

I have another post describing in more detail... bottom line, I think you'll like Actavist

Re: Lil Nitro (# 15)

I agree, the Actavist 10/325 is a good medication. Better than my last script I got filled at Walgreen's. They didn't have Actavis Percocets, but gave me Rhodes Percocets 10/325... These new ones seemed weaker and I felt withdrawals... I was getting 4/day, i.e. 120 pills... but my doc last prescribed me 100 pills and said with all the OD flack from Opioids, that issue has put undue scrutiny on Percocets. So I have to suffer b/c some ppl use Percocets recreationally, or alcohol and end up dying... Why do I have to be punished b/c of *****s?

I have had my Oxycodone 10-325 rx filled using Rhodes Pharma a handful of times. I’ve been on 135 pills/month for the past 3 years and the first time I was dispensed Rhodes I thought I had developed a tolerance to the medication since it provided no relief. I have learned to avoid Rhodes by calling the pharmacy first when it’s time to pick up my new prescription. Two months ago every pharmacy I called had Rhodes, so I was stuck with them. If anything good came from this, it’s that I learned that I was probably experiencing withdrawals and as unpleasant as it was, I didn’t get the problem this month, after being dispensed a different brand (Actavis) and never get the problem with any pharmaceutical manufacturers, i.e., Mallinckrodt, Endocet, Amneal, Actavis or Qualitest, other than Rhodes Pharma.

I got the RP 5 Percocet and they make me feel really jittery and nervous to the point I’m even afraid to take them. Makes me feel horrible. Anyone else have that problem?

I was given a script of 10 mg oxycodone that I have been taking for 2 years for acute pain. This month I went to cvs and there was a different type of medicine in the bottle. I took it as prescribed and it may as well be Bayer aspirin. I called the pharmacy and told them I need my regular script as this does not help. I was told they would not accept it back and that I should call my doctor. Asked my doctor to change my script. I have never had a pharmacy tell me the med was new or not as effective. My doctor will not change script, so I suffer and don't know what or how to regain ability to do my duty of chores that have to be done. If a person is in acute pain and it affects your being able to do anything, what do I do. Thank you for explaining the Rhodes Pharmaceutical to me. If I can make a few more days, maybe Walgreens will have medication that will ease the pain I live with everyday.

Re: Skeeter (# 2)


I've read somewhere that the cheaper pharm. companies were putting 75% of the narcotic in their drugs, IP, Mallinckrodt and more, and selling to pharmacies to increase profits while the patients were having to take more for the pain, upsetting stomachs and running out of meds early. It's ridiculous for us with legitimate problems to have to suffer while ppl that fake pain so well and can get them no questions asked, and sell them in order to get their drugs of choice, use other ppls urine to pass drug panels. Ppl, myself included, have to worry that you might get fake meds, identical to the ones they're prescribed, possibly from pharmacies, rarely I hope. I got percocet 10/325 from Walgreens made by Actavis. I've gotta say that that company, so far, make the best. A 333 oval shape. Mallinckrodt anything needs to be pulled off the shelf permanently.

I've been prescribed Percocets 10/325. My last script filled at Walgreen's switched manufacturers, i.e. Rhodes ( I used to get Activast, never had a problem with them)... but these Rhodes are crappy... I bet they're more like 7/325 b/c they don't last for 6-8 hrs... more like 4 hrs. My doc said the DEA wants ppl to only get 3 pills/day... Next office visit, I'm going to ask for ER (Extended Release) and see if I can get a higher dose... maybe 15/325...

Re: Jeffrey aka Kyd (# 12)

Actually the Tylenol that is in them is more expensive than the oxycodone. I know this for a fact because I had my insurance dropped for a few months, and I had to pay out of pocket. I found that the Oxycodone 10 325 with acetaminophen was way more expensive than just oxycodone without acetaminophen! I even asked the pharmacist who said that she couldn't understand it either. But before I was paying almost $200 a bottle for 120 pills and after the doctor just wrote a prescription for plain oxycodone no acetaminophen, I was paying $50! It's a huge drop! Today I fill the script for my husband, at Walgreens and it was different than what they normally have. I looked at it and it says Rhodes mfg... so I'll have to ask him and we will see how they work. But I just wanted to point that out to you. And his do have the acetaminophen and the oxycodone in it because it says 10 - 325 which is 10 mg of oxycodone and 325 mg of acetaminophen. We've been taking these meds 4 about 8 years for different medical issues.
