Rhodes Oxycodone (Page 2)

Can someone cause somebody in the FDA to check out this Rhodes pharmaceutical company? If the potency can vary by up to 10 to 20% what does that tell you? They're not all the same. I have had Rhodes for two days and they're pure garbage I don't know why the pharmacy changed who's paying who off but these are absolutely terrible.

REPORT

I recently got some of the Rhodes 5/325s and I agree they are weaker than some other percocets. However, I don't find that they have any bad side effects like the Camber. These aren't the worst generic percocets but they're not ideal. It's slim picking nowadays when it comes to generic percocet. I'm just glad there aren't any adverse side effects (at least not in my experience).

To answer the question about how much of oxycodone is in these pills is that when they filed for FDA approval they have someone send in samples for the FDA to evaluate and process. If you dig deep enough you can find the report for it. Now from what i have read in the approval document ALL of the pills containing oxycodone have the following:

5mg - 4mg oxycodone
7.5mg - 6mg oxycodone
10mg - 8mg oxycodone
15mg - 12mg oxycodone
20mg - 16mg oxycodone
30mg - 24mg oxycodone

These figures are directly taken off the FDA's official final approval letter. Hope this helps everyone!!!

I have had to be on pain meds for about 10 years, and I know 100% that not all generics Work even close to name brand. I had Rhodes for the first time 2 months ago and caused headaches / migraines after the first dose, I literally felt drained or low energy and the last month it actually caused diarrhea! I did just have bariatric surgery but still... diarrhea with narcotics? Anyways, I also get chronic migraines and some fillers cause migraines. There are some meds I have to get name brand if they do and the newer generics seem to be aweful. In the past Endocet worked best for generic with no bad side effect. The migraines and bad side effects got so bad and the effectiveness seemed to not be as good or I was getting worse (re-herniated discs / bulges on 3 levels, permanent nerve damage from not being able to get a dr to listen that imaging does not usually show the true extent of damage.... by the time One listened it was 2 years of horrid nerve pain in my lumbar back and drs treating me like a drug seeker. When neurosurgeon got in there it was much more severe than mri indicated, in fact the worst part didn’t even come up on MRI!!) so those suffering, keep going, don’t give up because we know if something is wrong worse than what’s showing, there are some good doctors with wisdom and compassion out there and most of all, God helps me everyday or I would of given up on Life and doctors a long time ago. Anyways...... I finally had to ask my PM doctor if he would prescribe name brand because I was miserable with the generics and he had no problem doing that thankfully. I just got them and tried them instead of generics I still had and they are so much better, more effective and NO MIGRAINE, HEADACHES OR BAD ABNORMAL SIDE EFFECTS!!

This is not the only time I’ve had to take name brand pain meds, not really thinking the effectiveness would b different but yet, there has been a significant difference, I pray I never have to take generics again. When I was blessed enough to take Dilaudid to help with severe lumbar nerve pain, ANY strength and any place I had them filled as generic caused INSTANT. Migraine! when I filled name brand there was no problems and when I filled the following month in generics at different pharmacy closer to my home than dr office, Instant migraine plus it did NOTHING hardly for the horrid nerve pain, I was miserable!! I filled name brand the following month, no migraines and the pain was much better controlled than generics. I also recently had surgery and they gave me their generic OXY- 20 mg worth and not only did it not touch the surgical pain but caused instant migraine, their liquid hyocet (7.5 vocodin without APAP) it worked better than the oxy and no migraine! So since the quality has seemed to drastically decline in last year that I’ve had to take Percocet, I think the government wants them weaker personally and don’t care if they skimp in the narcotic active ingredient but that’s also my opinion. Funny how they have been making legit chronic pain suffers like me get less meds and have poorer quality of life and even though they have dramatically cut down prescriptions and stronger meds from those who actually need and benefit from it..... the deaths are skyrocketing even more in last year or two!!

GET A CLUE DEA!! It’s not really us!! We are the ones suffering for other people being STUPID! In fact I think prescribing less is making some people say screw it! It causes depression and hopelessness because no one can truly understand chronic pain and the havoc It can wreak on your life unless you live Day in and day out waking up and trying to go to bed with it. It miserable. And not that I focus on it but I know what it’s like to have sufficient relief where I feel like my pain is well managed and my quality of life is good. We will never b completely out of pain until gods healing manifests, but under treatment mimics drug seeking and I know that I don’t ask for more help and don’t feel the need to ask for an increase when it’s managed sufficiently. But undertreated? Yea it’s hard for someone that is not you and never experienced severe nerve pain to believe that 6 Percocet or less a day ect of whatever pain meds we are lucky enough to get at all anymore may not be quite enough to live the fullest possible life and Work 8 hours a day with that constant pain that doesn’t stop. In fact when I complained nicely they LOWERED my meds to match what the government says should be enough for everyone that’s not a cancer patient so I’m scared to death to say anything anymore. I’ve also got CBD oil that costs so much money and is not affordable for many people, it helps a little, but every little bit counts. I’ve started just buying cbd isolate and making my own tincture with MCT oil, so far that’s most cost-efficient. But since so many people are suffering more it’s expensive to get good cbd products cuz the dispensaries no it’s in high demand. As PM patients we can’t try THC. Kratom has been something that can be really helpful for some people too. Good luck to u all!

Re: TM (# 2)

I am now relieved to see others complaining about headaches. I couldn’t handle the headaches & would rather take the pain in my spine than the headaches. Who knows what damage it’s causing but I’m already disabled & don’t need more medical issues to deal with. My dr wrote a new script as the pharmacist suggested & they can order a new prescription from the original mfr, but what about all the laws that only allow us to fill every 30 days? Pharmacist said they’ve dealt with this before but seems strange that it’s that easy to fill. Praying they replace the Rhodes with the original but this kind of thing is too dangerous to be taking chances.

You are right on it! Same here! Omg! Thought it was only me! Not only no pain relief but odd respiratory, hot flash spikes, nausea... worst! Are we being poisoned! I’ve never til this past year had worst side effects ever from all generic percocet suddenly month after month. Only in last 8-9 months. Feeling helpless.

Are you also experiencing an intense headache?
When I took meds from Rhodes pharmacy at the beginning of the month, I had a headache within 2 hours & it took over 2 days for it to go away & that’s without taking another pill from that Rhodes manufacturer. This month of April has been awful because I live with a spinal disability & chronic pain. Without pain medication, I can’t get out of bed, I’d deal with that over those headaches & being poisoned, I was so scared, so sick. Still think the pharmaceutical company needs to be held accountable for poisoning & harming all of us w/ their products.

That's happened to me and what's worse is my pain mgmt Dr is not handling my pain at all. He gives me 3 15's a day and I just found out I have 2 tumors. I've been vomiting, having pain in my head which I noticed cam from a different brand of oxycodone my pharmacy got. Mt pain mgmt Dr had me sign up for a medical Marijuana card. I got approved, so I hope it helps with my pain and anxiety cuz I can't take much more.
