Rhodes Pharmaceuticals Percocet (Page 3)

I have been taking 10/325 for years and my pharmacy filled this one with Rhodes pharmaceutical product. I have been taking now for 3 days. I have been sick to my stomach, neck, and jaw pain and it does not relief the pain it is prescribed for. Why could this be?

Go to a Mom POP pharmacy, have your Dr write Mallinckrodt only ... they have to fill it! Also get a note saying you can't take medication with dyes & fillers ! Don’t ever take any Rhodes meds, they make you violently ill !

For the first time in the 19 years I have been on opioids (Percocet 10-325), every single pharmacy in my town, CVS, Walgreens, RiteAid, Costco and Walmart, are all dispensing Rhodes. I phoned my doctor who was willing to write another script stating "Use Brand Name Only". I took it to the pharmacy only to find out that it is $2028 for the monthly supply. I plan on stocking up on Tylenol and a good anti-diahrreal drug as these supplements are the only things that will help get me through the month with this nearly worthless drug!

What I understand from what I've read is that Rhodes was told to lower the amount of oxy across the board, they in conjunction with Purdue were my saving grace at 30 mg, but the cut to 15 makes it impossible to find. Less pain relief, I'm going in for a retest of my heart which is only at 20% at best but the pain in my head and neck has increased and walking is really hard with congestive heart failure from a stent closure, but I think am in great trouble now. No power only pain stinks and I was a bodybuilder, natural, as I was so skinny and 9/11 provided pulmonary tumors so I'm scared! Feel better, check yourself out and then try some Prilosec to coat your stomach.

Re: Juliebelle (# 42)

All these horror stories from all of us! OMG we HAVE been victimized. There has to be an attorney out there to represent us in Class Action. Mr Morgan of Morgan & Morgan understands pain as he pushed & fought to legalize medical marijuana. ATTORNEY MORGAN PLEASE I HOPE YOU HAVE ADDRESSED MY LETTERS TO YOU!! I myself am highly allergic to even the fumes of marijuana. In college I ended up in the ER from breathing residual smoke from it at a concert; that was yrs back when cannabis could be smoked anywhere!

Anyway everyone, all of you good LONG TERM NON ACUTE CHRONIC PAIN PATIENTS we should be “grandfathered” into receiving what we need. I can understand new strides for new-comer’s but for us our bodies are physically/medically dependent. 20 yrs ago I was a guinea pig study in pain mgmt w/ use of opioids. In the hands of the best medical professionals. I've written to all the higher-ups. I pray they consider us. Amen.

Yes I am with you on that ! It’s so a medicaid and medicAre thing . Based on what coverage you have is what name brands of generics you get ! And if you are disabled you get the posion this is evil beyond ! I have combined through my food water hell my WiFi everything I knew it had to be the meds but I am fatigue and in pain and it’s several of my meds all hit ! Adderall Percocet and now my Xanax ! This is so evil ! And they break it up with managed Medicaid so it doesn’t even look like just medicaid in general but it is based on your coverage what manufactures of generics you get !

Re: Nicole (# 20)

Same deal here with me in ohio on 7.5. They're junk - neck surgery, disc c-2 c-9 gone. Was on oxycontin 10 mg for 3 yrs. New law kicked in, got screwed on that. We as pain patients need to band together and sue the fda and cdc. That's who's behind this BS. Anyway, I'm tired of being in pain. I'm 52 AND CAN'T EVEN ENJOY MY PARTNER. SO ANYBODY GOT ANY IDEAS FOR GOD SAKE, LETS DO IT! BEST REGARDS, TOMMY OHIO....

Re: TOMMY (# 46)

IM ready... Been asking for the large population of over 55 community who is getting royally screwed with no quality of life at present with the pain meds being pulled, the anxiety meds and everything else that made life tolerable now intolerable. I'm ready, as I'm not ever going to a street corner and wind up eating catfood so I could buy ILLEGALLY OBTAINED MEDICATION THAT'S BEEN TAKEN AWAY OR CUT ON STRENGTH! We are an awful large population of people who also suffer the stigma of shame at being needy and addicted to pain meds as a way of life. Our MD's threatened to reduce everything or else. Lobby time

Re: TOMMY (# 46)

I’ve written to AARP as to forming a lobby for which I haven’t even heard a word about, including the stigma attached to being on pain meds being connected with standing on street corners or even winding up on cat or dog food to be able to be humanized and a lot less pain free! Somebody has to start I think I’ll try writing to a few agencies and start putting addressees for the rest of us to start adding until we get a great lawyer interested in this huge issue! What do you think. Could use the research help from all of us to achieve our goal. People cannot hear what’s not being said out loud and any connections to press would help A WHOLE LOT! Let’s work together and do it! R~

Yeah after so many days the inactive ingredients build up in your system for Purdue now Rhodes causing you to wake up shaking as if you have sciatic nerve pain Then you take another pill and it goes away so you’d never think it’s the pill doing it! It pisses me off this happened when the crisis hit and managed Medicaid. Now get this I’m getting texts from my insurance company way later saying opioid addiction can have as soon as 5-7 days we’ll no s***! And Perdue is Rhodes and they are invested in suboxone! 2 years waking up every morning shaking asking my drs and pharmacists what’s wrong and no one had a clue! The fentanyl patch that was pushed on me was covering up the side effects! I’m extremely fatigue but I got off them I feel Permanent damage has been done to me big time. I’m eating all organic and organic supplements trying to find any cure to reverse this. I got government housing too and it’s nice but they do inspections and I’m usually very neat and ocd but I can barely walk my dog and shower and feed myself! I had Already fought hard to get my pain meds then lost the weight and got fit! Then managed Medicaid kicked in and dropped all of the pain management. My primary wasn’t gonna do it but when he saw I lost 30lbs in 3 months and how determined I was to get healthy he continued it! I do wonder if he knows cause I’ve been telling him. These drs work for the insurance companies! He’s one of the good ones I think but I was trading opiates for Xanax and he let me keep the one pill that was the source of my problems! I’ve had so many meds targeted and got off them. I hate to say it it’s a plot to depopulate us and get us off Disability and social security plus just kill off everyday folks and trump knows. Just wait when we have all these metals in us and it magnifies the effects of this technology and 5G will do us in! I truly want to sue! Two years of my life and so much money spent trying to cure myself and I was supposed to move back to FL but was too fatigued. Now you got these Adderalls causing fatigue and pain. Now Xanax has been hit ! Who the heck wants Indian and China 3Rd world poison and if you go to cvs or Walgreens they are insurance owned. A lady confessed she told me they try to order generics people have less issues with but the insurance companies block them. Now generic is generic you’re lucky we’re taking generic don’t block certain manufactures! The pills are all tainted! I know these meds 20-30 years no problem and now all of a sudden bam! Even gabapetin was hit! Anything from Aurobindo keep away from. They are targeting pain and mental health meds. Because if you complain your already deemed an addict or crazy. I’m so made at CVS! Then I threatened to train it to dc. And find a law firm to sue and my mom and I have noticed people actually following us. These Rhodes and Perdue are the same and the goal is you for you to fall short of your pills then go on suboxone if that or you get cut off and some turn to the street.

You all need to get into kratom, omg it’s a lifesaver, she works plus you need to get into organic vitamins and supplements and make sure your toiletries are chemical free or safe. Do a metal detox, man I could make a website of what to do! This damn near killed me.

The fda doesn’t oversee overseas 3Rd world generics like they do here.

Now my dr says bring in the bottles write out the symptoms and we’ll push for it in name brand.

Well I’ve been so fatigued to even do that. Thank god I had my mom and help, and my French Bulldog that pushed me.

All these medications are starting to do the opposite of what they are prescribed for!

It’s a mind f*** to write out that letter but I’m gonna do it I need my meds I’m keeping it to the basics Adderall Xanax and 2 Percocets a day so now I know when something is off! But you can report it to them and it still be forced on you or go through withdrawal.

Honestly organic kratom and natural Usda organic anti-inflammatories

I don’t think it’s smart anymore to be on anything you gotta wean off of

But they have even changed this Xanax it was the one drug that hadn’t been hit for awhile and helped me get off the Percocets to see it was them

I’ve reevaluated this Rhodes CVS Percocet individually 5-7 times and I’m telling you after a few days you start having crazy sciatic nerve pain or more pain thinking it’s increasing pain symptoms when it’s 100% the pill. Medicaid has saved a lot of money on me because I haven’t been able to make it to any of my specialists or keep up on anything.

I should’ve gone to the ER but who was gonna watch my dog and nothing is gonna happen

I’ve heard if you come into the ER now with opiate in your system they pump your stomach. God I hope that’s not true. I’m not solid on it.

I thought I was going crazy! Being a legit CP PATIENT for 18 yrs, my nightmare as well, began in 2016 to-date. Obviously, a drastic change of pharmacology re-formulation has taken place in all oxycodone based pain meds.

Re: Sue (# 37)

I know I'm about six months late, but your best bet is Endocet. It's expensive & a lot of insurance plans don't want to pay for it, but it is the most consistent as it's made by Endo Pharmaceuticals (The makers of Brand Name Percocet.)

I know this entire thread is bashing Rhodes brand, but I personally did very well on that particular generic. They are no where near as strong as Endocet though, maybe 50-60% less potent. I know that's messed up, but if that's all your insurance will pay for (It's all mine would pay for for about a year or so.), they will work in a pinch.

You just have to tolerate the inactive ingredients (Most everyone here had horrible side effects unfortunately.) Conversely, I know some on here have raved about Actavis Brand-- That generic gave me the EXACT SAME AWFUL SIDE EFFECTS mentioned in this thread.

I guess my point is, it all depends on your body chemistry, & what YOU can tolerate. What REALLY SUCKS, is that you have to "roll the dice" for 30 days at a time. :-[

Maybe your doc can write you a 7 day script to see how you do? Just spit-balling... Hope this helped.

Re: David (# 2)

Which ingredient is actually oxytocin? It’s a fact the oxytocin that executes the pain relief/positive feeling has been reduced by 70% to make the med unappealing to abusers. In meantime they are violating legitimate Chronic Pain Patients! We are getting little to no relief& being purposely made sick with all together miserable NEW side effects.

We’re damned if we do, damned if we don’t take our pain med; ie; WITHDRAWAL & back to a wheelchair!

For me the only drug I will never say yes to as during five months of surgery and a humongous hole in my hip 22 inches long they gave me thousands of bottles of Demerol. First time I ever saw clearly and thought clearly In my life, so the answer will always be no, no matter what! And by the way if they’re going to stick a Q-tip in your sciatic nerve, I’ll add that nothing works on the nerve pain. I started to get Cluster Headaches at 20 years old, at the time they didn’t think women got them and I can only say, that was an awful time and when I was in cluster nothing worked but something called DHE 45 which was non-narcotic, but I couldn’t stick anything in my vein and boy did it burn in your leg but there was no backlash as there was when Imitrex first came out and you attempted to use a third dose it was the first time I had ever gotten in an ambulance and I wasn’t bleeding and I didn’t when I stand close which caused me to die as the EMS people thought I was some kind of a freak or drug addict hoping around With the blood slowly stopping going through my veins in arteries and they didn’t believe it until I wound up flatlined in the ER, With no veins available to set an IV. And I checked that Stent three times. The damage is your irreparable and I’m stuck. Back to Purdue Rhodes. I found that to be at 30 mg the only thing to help my pain or the Monday and I would throw the rest in the closet and only used it when I needed it and I’m sorry to hear that it upsets you, but if you can get hold of Prilosec from your doctor it will help but the changes in the formulation have occurred already, so I don’t know any longer and taking 15 mg of Malloncrods ir does nothing and it will not now as my doctor has dismissed me without a Rx, so administrators if you would like me to start something you tell me what you want me to do or what to say to others and I will as I have no fear but the simplicity of death itself as my reality dictates. I wear a note pinned to my nightwear making certain that my pain management Dr and our Governance is over the largest lobby ever known aside them tobacco is drugs, I also keep my diagnosis and my paperwork from 9/11 which is the newest of all. Don’t trust anyone and question. It’s nauseating to have to mother a doctor, but that is the indoctrination and I did write a paper at 14 in college that was published behind just that information. I am now suffering from what used to be considered temporary and now considered much more permanent but the use of prednisone at high doses as I was drowning in mucus. I am not sure what takes the lead in what frightens me but not remembering three seconds ago is really pretty bad especially when you’re financially responsible and you sinking in the s*** that no one is coming to look for you in. I’m ready to do whatever is necessary to oppose these Machiavellian decisions without consent of any sort and may be responsible for my death so I have nothing to lose, and the service may help others As well as a purposefulness for myself. Please inform, and thank you all.

i truly doubt it is the acetaminophen they have been taking another brand for years
rhodes imo does not have a decent product ---- i have not used the oxicodone but
have had the hydrocone ---- to no releif and queazy stomach as well --- fda needs
to crack down on these sub standard manufacturers --- the govt cuts the mg of
medicine you can get they should at least make the makers of that medicine make
a good product ---- any ways be well and may you find releif so you can have a good
quality of life
