Bad Generic Pain Medication

I have seen a lot of negative post about this medicine but it has worked woonders for me with no side effects except for the normal bit of euphoria about 10 minutes after I take them. I have been pain free since I started. Sorry for the people who've had trouble with them. Different strokes for different folks I guess. ## Hello, Sally! Wow! I am very glad that you are working so well for you. You are actually the first person to post and not have a complaint. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Do you have any questions or concerns? ## Sally? How many are u scripted to take per day? ## I just started taking the A333 as well and it has worked for me as ...

Why doesn't the white ip 119 work as good as the blue watson 540. My back pain is so bad since I switched ## There can be slight fluctuations in generic medications in the amount of the active ingredients, so it is possible that the one you're taking now has a slightly lower amount and just doesn't work as well for you. Learn more Lortab details here. How long have you been taking it? If you've been on it for awhile, it's also possible that you may have grown tolerant to it and will need to try a different medication. These will soon be changed to only contain a maximum of 325mgs of Acetaminophen, anyway, which I am thinking will cause many people to have to switch medications. ## I have jusy started taking these. I was taking the watsons before. It seems as if they ...

I do not want "generic" Subutex 8mg 4x day! I had been taking the real for along time and then big white generic for 3yrs in time. I react badly to most drugs. I had to pay $1,300.00 each month when started to take about 7/8 years and am very cheap! Pain is worse then giving birth. Now we have generic. The cost was at first $500.00 but the generic has changed again and does not work. They do not work and am in a great deal of pain. I want the old large white one back or the real ones. I am so much pain! The Dr had change to film and then migraines and now hand arms knees swelling even my face and still in pain.were can I get the real drug now!? Someone help!6 months of this and the pain is so bad with a new blown disc and pinched nerves.

It seems everyone on pain meds illegally has resorted to their local H dealer , then resulting in family members robbing your home and pawning anything of value with no reguard for the impact the theft has done on the person/s the H addict has stolen from, so please think before trying to find an alternative , it usually ends very bad ! I've seen many old friends and family either commit suicide, murder eachother , or accidently overdose , also people are sabatoshing by giving what's called hot shots and or the skin eating disease , worse thing is living with the blood born diseases contracted by sharing the needle or many other ways ! Stay on what your doctor has prescribed you , I personally think pot should be legal in the USA , it makes a great mussel relaxer and helps most ...

Need advice! I came to this site with the same issue, over a year ago - I'm one of unlucky people that has extreme sensitivity to "fillers" in most white colored norco 10-325 generic. I FINALLY found the dark yellow Qualitest. It was a VERY PAINFUL 3 month struggle! Now, with currant conditions, can't find this brand anywhere near me! Really need HONEST advice regarding any generic manufacturer that is well tolerated by ONLY PATIENTS WITH MY SIMILAR ISSUES PLZ. The malencrap & aurobindo were the worst. They gave me migraine headaches & sick to stomach. If someone has similar issues AND KNOWS OF A BRAND that is GOOD, please let me know. I'd be grateful. If need be I can have my Dr change the Rx to Vicodin or Vicoprofen. I just need a GOOD manufacturer name to ...

My pharmacy switched to Mallinkrodt generic percocet 10/325. After 3 months of taking them my wrists are stiff; my outer side of hands, pinky & ring fingers have gone totally numb! Also, little to NO pain relief, withdrawal symptoms ie; like the flu, exhaustion, episodic sweating, nausea...as if I’m taking a fake pill! I’ve been a legit CP PATIENT for 20 years; never a problem. Last 2 yrs every generic percocet has very odd side effects. My whole life & persona has drastically changed. Hard to function. What has obviously been added/subtracted, changed in the formulations? Is anyone else experiencing this or am I losing my mind? Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer me some advice &/or facts. ## Regarding the numbness, you should really have that checked out ...

My doctor started me on the generic brand of sprintec about a month ago after being on the name brand for about 6 months. It caused me to have very bad diahhrea and messed with my stomach altogether but I dealt with it. It also caused my left breast to be extremely tender and painful to touch. My doctors didn't send my refills over for my birth control so I couldn't refill it when I ran out, so I had to double up the day after on the pills. A few days after that I was intimate with my boyfriend. However, we always use a condom and check it after for holes. I was supposed to start my period yesterday but it hasn't come. I took a pregnancy test but they were both negative. I'm still freaking out because my period almost always comes on time and this is just not normal for ...

I've been on Oxycontin for at least 10 or 12 years. I've always taken generic. Now I have to pay out of pocket $4500.00 a year for brand name because I can't get the generics. Does ANYONE know if generics are coming back? I still haven't paid off last years loan . I'll have to borrow again. I have had surgery again this year. Nearly died. (was in intensive care for 9 days. Drs. tried to give me moraphine. I have later stage COPD, my breathing got so bad. They called my family in because they thought I was going to die. They said they couldn't control my pain. I was blacked out. Don't remember anything. But they finally gave me oxycontin and I got better. I'm alive. But I am in so much pain I don't know if that's good or not. I can't afford any...

Much to my surprise 2 days ago my pharmacy gave me generic OxyContin instead of Brand OxyContin. I have been on 40 mg. OxyContin 3x's daily and have been for 15 years. I don't think twice about them as there is a 2 hour window to take it and never any problems with them, only my Sister knows I have even have to take them (I'm 57 years old). These Generic Oxycontins are identical in color, size, markings, everything which is odd. The only information I can find on the content of the drug is that the generic is the same as the brand name Only in the inactive ingredients but the active ingredience are different. The reason I'm asking about them is I feel absolutely terrible, I'm having stomach pains, all my joints hurt, having very bad headaches and I rarely get headach...

I have been taking Adderal for many years, the orange oval generic pill. My last prescription had white R 351 pills. I never had a problem with the orange ones. The new white ones give me chest pain and nausea and I'm very shaky inside and out to the point that I thought I was given the wrong medication by the pharmacy I use. Has anyone else had a bad experience with the white R351 pills? ## Hi Cheryl, Sorry to hear about your situation. How are you feeling right now? According to the US National Institute of Health, "chest pain" is listed as a potentially serious side effect of both Amphetamine and Dextroamphetamine; whereas they recommend contacting your doctor immediately. NIH also lists "nausea" as a symptom of overdose at: [1] Amphetamine - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubm...

I take 4 15mg Oxycodone per day but sometimes its green ones & the oblong white ones which dont seem to work as well. I have bad disc's in back, arthritis in all joints & neuropathy pain also. I'm wondering about asking my Dr for non generic meds to see if it's better. Also wondering how much more it would cost on copay? ## Have you thought about getting a fentanyl patch. I also take four 10-325 oxycodone every day. I was taking 6, but I stopped the one in the middle of the day. I also take Baclofen, Diclonefac Sodium, 200 mg six a day. I am pain also throughout my back and other areas of my body. Do you have insurance? ## I have tried Baclofen but I get restless leg syndrome from muscle relaxers.

Been taking generic lortab for about 5 years, I would use caps for generic but it don’t deserve the recognition, put up with pain and only took 5-500 for all that time, pain getting worse, they upped it to 10-500, still not much relief, then they decided to give me (NAME BRAND LORTAB) worked really well and I don’t need but the 5-500 of the name brand, I had gotten so much relief from it I was amazed, also this is not the first time I tried this out, my other doctor had me on generic of other meds, was wacky for a long time, so you can figure out how that was going (BAD) so went to name brand of other meds and things straightened up pretty well and quick, the generic brands they will swear up and down it is the same thing as name brand.......(IT IS ...

I have a Medtronic's pain pump. When brand name Dilaudid is being used I do just fine. When the Dr. refills and puts generic Hydromorphone (without changing the dosage), within hours I'm stumbling & losing my balance & very light headed. Dr, says there is no difference they are made the same. If they are the same then why do I have bad results without knowing that he put the generic in? I can't stand & close my eyes without hanging on to something or I will fall in 2 or 3 seconds. ## What I wanted to know about my earlier post today is ! they talk about fillers being different between brand name Dilaudid and the generic Hydromorphone can you help me in any way?

My doctor has approved the name brand for generic Hydrocodone, but I cannot find a pharmacy that will even try to get a brand other than Mallinckrodt, Lupin, or Amneal; the generic brands that are sent to them. I was doing great when Watson had the yellow oblong 10/325 and am at my wits' end. I am in bad pain every day of my life. I don’t know how much longer I can take this pain. Not everyone with chronic pain is just a drug addict but we are all treated that way. Got to change soon or I can’t live this way. ## Have you tried any alternative opiates, since you can't find one of these that works for you? Some other choices are Hydromorphone, Oxycodone, Morphine, and Demerol. The FDA warns that they all carry the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects...

My pharmacy has been switching prescription generics between 15 mg oxycodone HCL tablets for more than a year now. It is not unusual for me to get a new generic every time I fill my prescription and in many instances they will give me two different forms of the generic for one prescription because they switch so often. They have now put me on AUROBINDO which does not work at all for my chronic pain and if that wasn't bad enough they also provide counterfeit information in the form of paperwork claiming that the drug I have been given is actually manufactured by Mallinkrodt. I have pictures of the label as well as documentation from the FDA that claims my prescription is from a manufacturer that it is not from. The other concern I have is that I spoke with my pharmacist about this an...

I've been taking the generic brand of Zetia for 2 months now and I have never felt more lousy in my entire life. I have pain in my left shoulder that goes all the way up my neck. It's almost unbearable. I feel like I can't breathe because I am so stuffed up. I cough so bad and I'm so fatigued every day that I don't even want to get out of bed. I lost all interest in everything I used to love. Called my doctor to see if I could stop taking this pill. She never got back to me. I cannot keep taking this pill. Any suggestions? ## Allie, Here is a list of known common adverse drug reactions of Ezetimibe (Zetia). - headache - diarrhea - myalgia - hypersensitivity reactions (rash, angioedema) - myopathy - muscle problems (myalgia and rhabdomyolysis) From the research I have...

Please let me know, what pharmacy carries generic endocet, in walnut creek or concord CA...I have chronic pain, I was given " Alvogen brand, it was the worst medicine, gave me very bad headaches! I was on Amneal which works well, however the pharmacy doesn't carry, they have Alvogen..terrible, no not get it! ## Hello, Lucy! How are you? Sorry about the problem you're having. However, there is no database of pharmacies that have any given medication in stock, nor what manufacturer's products they carry. Did you try asking your pharmacy if they can order the other one in for you? Alternatively, you could also try asking your doctor to prescribe it as the brand being medically necessary to avoid the constant switching of generics. ## Thanks, that would be good, I'll let...

light green Oxycodone. Just the synthetic opiate medicine no acetaphetamine or aspirin included. I have no bad reactions from the straight medication. There are fillers and other opiates than cause me to have open sores and other reactions. My liver can not handle anymore tylenol or steroid inj's..
