Rhodes Pharmaceuticals Percocet
(Newest replies first)

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?

Where can we take these lousy generics to be tested? I want to take the Rhodes Percocet to be tested. I’m having side affects. I want to know what kind of garbage they are using for fillers??
Thank you so much!

The generics they force on us are for the most part not made in the US. Also generics do not have 100% of the effective ingredient, that is why they are garbage. I hate generics! Rhodes is nasty! I try to get name brand and the pharmacy says they can’t get it. I don’t believe that. Any generic these days is useless and loaded with fillers that have made me sick too. I’ve been asking to get name brand, I will pay for it. Generics are garbage. You are having a reaction to the fillers I would bet. I’ve had some of the same too. What was the brand name of the Percocet before you were given Rhodes? I’ve noticed these nasty pharmacies are all in this together in using the same generics. I had to change pharmacies because the generic they were promoting gave me severe side affects. Take what you have left to your doctor and let them know the side affects and have them write a new prescription so you can go to a pharmacy that doesn’t carry Rhodes. I’ve been through so much because of crummy generics. I know how you feel. Let your doc know. Good luck and keep us posted.??

I noticed 2 months ago the Percocet 10/325 by Rhodes has gotten smaller, is less effective, and has upset my stomach. Has anyone else noticed this?

These pills are manufactured in India......I did a lot of research on the Percocets. The Indian manufacturers are mixing the script of 120 or more with placebos and Percocets together. How will you tell? You’re not because you're already taking some that are real and they mix together and you cannot tell. I can’t believe the U.S. would let this fly, but no one cares about us older folks that worked in heavy industries and are already pretty much beat up from the labor instilled on us. I hope all these young people out there abusing these pain meds are happy because they're going to be in a bad situation like us older people because the pills will be cut so bad by the time they reach old age their screwed. And believe me I’m hurting bad enough to just kill myself because I cannot live in this horrible pain anymore. These young pharmacists don’t give a hoot..... And most of all they're cutting us short on pills because we trust them. And their addicted also from filling scripts all day. Believe me these pharmacists are hooked. I have caught a Pharmacy in Glen Burnie Maryland steal my Oxy-Cotin 3 separate times in 6 months and if you don’t let them recount the pills in front of you your going to have a bad hard withdrawal from the previous month. Please for your sake watch your pills closely.

Re: David (# 2)

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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~

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

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....
