Hello,

Technically the strength of the pills should be the same so long as the dosage of the medication remains the same, however, there are some factors that come into play when talking about how each pill will react with you. Does the pill have a slow release coating? If so it will take effect at a slower rate but lasts longer and the effects will be much weaker. You also have to take into consideration the inactive ingredients in a pill which will also affect how your body reacts to the medication. There is also a lot of mental limitations here, sometimes people get so wrapped up into the idea that the medication they are currently taking is superior and when they do take another brand their thoughts can have a physical impact. It is always best for you to discuss with your primary care physician what brands work best with you and always inform them if you feel that a particular brand is causing you to have adverse side effects.

I would also like to list some additional information for the pill Percocet you mentioned above.

I just started taking this pill made by these folks and I am having bad reactions.
Bad temper, serious fatique, very unusual thoughts..

I have taking 10/325's for over two years and never had a single problem until I got these.

I'm waiting until my next refill, hopefully of one made by someone else, to compare these to, before I make a complaint. But I never ! had an issue before using this brand.

Overall, the generic Mallies have always seemed to be less effective than other generic producers. Watson has always been my choice. The Endo products I dont find much anymore. Consistently better, the Watson brand are best in my opinion.

I must have taken a wrong turn there earlier, as the pill I am taking is the ip204.. Sorry about that,

I had a similar issue a few years back with ER morphine.
The doctor said it was me, but low and behold a few months later it was recalled as some of the pills had 3 times the narcotic in them..

I understand active ingredients are supposed to be the same, but as I understand it, fillers do not have to be,,. Maybe they use something not agreeable. And in this day of money is first, I trust no one.

And sorry about typos, I don't use spellcheck.
god bless..

Just the difference in body chemistry! I have taken
Makki percocets 10/325 for years with good pain
relief. I have RSD. My pharmacy was out and could
not get any for a week so I had to go to another
pharmacy. They only had the Watson's percocet.
It is not nearly as effective for the pain relief as the
Mellis. I would say they are equal to a 5/325. I guess
I will just have to burn, baby, burn until I use these up
in almost a month. The pain is so bad!!! I feel like
someone has poured gasoline on me and struck
match!!!

Sorry for what you suffer. You know, percocet is a wonder drug. If there was a danger posed, it's the tylenol-like product in it, some say, other's disagree, because of testing on a volunteer who had liver problem.

There is pure percocet. It's 100% of the narcotic. It's 'better for you', you're posts' a year ago, just thought I'd write in anyway, individuals experiences are far better than some 'drug report'.

I suffered for 30 days with Mallies as I was always getting IP204's and then the pharmacy switched to Mallies. I have also tried Watson round pills and they offer a little better relief for me than Mallies but the IP204's work best for meThe 10-325 Mallies didn't seem to even be as effective as 5-325's. 5-325 Hydrocodome offered better pain relief than 10-325 Percocet manufactured by Mallinkrokt. I do'n know what they are missing but they definitely have a bad formula

I agree! I have two more weeks to go on this endocet 10/325. Then I can call the mom& pop pharmacies to find out who has Watson percs, which work just fine for my pain& don't interact with my other meds.

Hi, was wondering if you were able to find the watson percocets as I saw on other blogs that they don't make them anymore as they were bought out by a company called Actavis. The Actavis percocet are horrible and everyone is complaining about them.

I recently began having symptoms of allergy and pancreatitis on the new perc's. I was so scared yesterday that I decided to stop them completely even though I can't get anything else for almost 3 days. I would rather be in pain from withdrawal than continue wherever I was headed.

Sable I'm aware that your post was written quite a few years back..
However, I feel compelled to clarify something for any future readers.
Percocet 10/325 DO, in fact have, acetaminophen in them. The 10 stands for 10 milligrams of hydocodone and the 325 stands for 325 milligrams of acetaminophen. I do not want anyone in the future to be misinformed and presume that this medication does not contain such ingredient. People need to do their own research in regards to medications they are taking. As many of these posts are not accurate.
I've also read a few posts in which people refer to Endocet as being a generic brand... when in fact Endocet is the brand name for Percocet.
