REPORT

Today 1/04/14 new news. My regular and only Rx I know of for a thousand miles that carries Endocet. Today my pharmacist told me that Endocet has gone up almost double what it was. I have no insurance so I've always paid cash around $65 for 93 pills. Now My price is $149 for 100 pills. And the worse part......she said people with medicaid and insurance probably will get denied to purchase something that high. And eventually I asked her where is this heading, will it eventually be discontinued. She replied I don't know but I told her can you try to keep a bottle ordered for patients like me that are willing to pay an extremely high price and getting 100 pills, the full bottle right out of stotage. She said she would try. I almost cried but I asked her please try. Endocet believers; things are about to get tougher than leather! And I don't even know where around here to get Watson 923, which is my personal 2nd choice except Walgreens. And they notoriously are the high drug store on the Market!

I have to say it after a looooong Investigation And A Lot Of Time And Self Sacrifice Watson 932 are much better than Endometriosis E712. Every time I take one Watson I would almost fall AND SLEEP nodding off but after finishing my Watsons and starting these extra overpriced Endocets I don’t get that or much of anything but I do get pain relieve being honest. Different affects same achievements. I started off choosing Watson 932 and I'm ending up sticking to them. The Truth

I had to LOL @ the "endometriosis 712". Hahahaha.

But yes, you're right. Watson is much better.

Endocet is cheap, where I live. My Watson script costs my insurance $266... whereas the Endocet cost my insurance $74! & whatever they use to make Endocet sucks....... because I had a horrible allergic reaction to it. Thank God my doctor's office had me come in the following morning & they had me bring in the Endocet to destroy it, & they wrote me a new script for my meds with a notice RIGHT ON the script, "Allergies: Endocet".

People who keep saying Endocet is brand name Percocet, YOU ARE INCORRECT. Right ON the bottles, it says, "Endocet, GENERIC FOR PERCOCET". Endocet is a GENERIC version of Percocet. Brand name percocet would cost me upwards of $1,000.00 a month. Endocet is $74! BIG difference.

Walgreen's is no longer carrying the Watson 10/325 Oxycodone. Got mined filled 12/23/13 and they gave me M523 - each pill one is in individual packaging which makes it extremely difficult for someone with arthritis and carpel tunnel to open.

I called Walgreen's and they said that their distributor Amerisouce chooses which brands they receive. I stopped going to Medicap because they stopped carrying Watson. Now I have to find another pharmacy.

A friend of mine works at the Hy-Vee pharmacy and she just told me that they will be discontinuing the 10/325's. I can't believe this would be all brands. My doctor lowered my script from 500's to 325's because too much acetaminophen isn't good for your liver.

@William - Psychological? Really? The M523's definitely aren't as powerful and their affects wear off faster. I take mine at the same time every day and my pain WAS under control until they switched brands. I'm having trouble sleeping because either I can't get to sleep because I'm in pain or I wake up in the middle of the night hurting.

With Watson 3/day was fine, but I would occasionally take the 4/day I'm prescribed. This month I'm taking all 4/day and taking Tylenol and Advil for the "breakthrough" pain. Funny, I didn't have breakthrough pain when taking Watson's brand.

Guess I'll be going pharmacy shopping....

Endocet is the same as Percocet, the name brand of this drug. Watson has many side effects for some people, like me. If you were originally purchasing Percocet and now find you cannot afford it, then take Endocet. It is the same pill as Percocet and is made by the same manufacturer. Generics only have to have the "active" ingredient, while their fillers can be anything and everything. If you get better relief from Watson's, or any generic for Percocet except Endocet, then it's all in your head. Sorry. Just my opinion and they're like noses--everyone has one.

I too was told by my regular pharmacy chain ( actually the owner was there ) & they said that Watsons will no longer be available & offered either Amneal or Endocet brands, being very sensitive to fillers in near all medications, I'm very picky when it comes to my pain medication. I have two rods in my back & a damaged hip that needs replacement surgery, I should be on much stronger medications but I must be able to function & thus I get by ( some days worse than others ) on just generic percoset. My pharmacist said it's likely due to Watson having been bought out by Actavis which has just now become a fortune 500 company. He said they have had a ton of complaints every since the company name was bought & they long ago stopped carrying the new WHITE colored Norco by Actavis though they are stamped & numbered the same, just likely have not had the time to do proper research & just pushed them out to meet the demand, WHO KNOWS, other than Actavis. I would say that things are only going to get worse before they get better. I would think of compounding, but they are not federally controlled, only state controlled. My doctor just told me of the sterility issue out east in South Carolina w/ a local complicates cortisone shots, being a sterile issue, over 25 people died! If anyone decides to try a compounding pharmacy make sure they are at least state certified as mixed results have been known to show on required drug checks by pain management Doctors. I have discussed this all w/ both my pharmacy & my doctors as well & they ALL recommended that I use Endocet brand. I think that it's looked at as a drug problem issue when one is as knowledged as I am & many others about their pain medications, but I'm like this w/ all I put into my body & theirs nothing wrong w/ that. I put my medications into a monthly counter and take as prescribed. I was also warned that if you go to these mom & pop pharmacies & they ask for your personal info & a photo copy of your drivers license to RUN AND REPORT THEM TO THE FDA. I think it's these so called "local" mom/pop pharmacies that are taking short cuts & thus making it even that much harder on us pain patients that truly need pain medication to live a normal & somewhat pain free life, with me it's never truly PAIN FREE, but more so not as painFULL day to day life. I can work, play w/ my niece & nephew & be involved in my community, and my pharmacy & doctor know this of me, & I'm blessed to have them both & I would never do anything to damage that trust & relationship. To all you who are out to make yourself feel high, why not go do some H ( god knows the govt. Has made sure plenty of it is on our streets). I would do anything to not have to live w/ this pain I do day to day & I pray constantly & I'm not saying everyone should do what I do, but it does help to have faith in something. Sorry to get off topic, but I'll end it w/ saying this, I'm taking the endocet & I have near the same relief as w/ the Watsons, w/ out the morning headaches. I'm going to see if I can find a " STERILE CERTIFIED PHARMACY " in my area that may be able to work w/ me on compounding but I also will send one off to the FDa to be studied & make sure I'm not being taken for a joker, if I have to take a diagnosis & my levels are off, I will sue the pharmacy for every dime they have, so any complicates reading this just know this, your all into our lives, just remember if you make the choice to make the meds yourself, I & many others will be watching you now. Goodluck to everyone & honestly if endocet is available to you, than stick w/ them. Best of wishes to you all & HAPPY NEW YEAR...

This whole situation is sad - I'd love for one of my Dr's to live in my shoes for just one day. My family GP suggested that I take up yoga, and that would ease my joints to get me off the meds. (I'm on MS Contin 100mg 3x daily, Endocet 6 pills daily as needed). I was injured back in '91, and since 1995, I've had 6 cervical spine surgeries & 3 lumbar surgeries. My daily pain is a 7 to 8, and that is on the meds !
My Pain Doc has been treating me for 9 yrs now, and won't change nor increase my regiment, even though he's the one telling me, "Wow, you're neck & back have gotten worse, you've got almost no disc left in either cervical or lumbar". "By the way Joe, make these 90 pills last for the month this visit, you should feel better taking less meds". Maybe it's time to move to CO & smoke myself pain-free !!
Living with this pain really sucks, try to understand that, Doc !!

I have heard from other posts that the Watson 932 (and possibly all other Watson Percocets) are no longer available. The companies merged or one took over the other. I am going to be mad as hell. I tried one of the A 333 by Avantis and have a horrible salty taste in my mouth and I itch all over my body. What a bunch of crap!

CRB - STOP TAKING THEM , you're having an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients in that pill !! Time to switch to something else, it's not worth you getting sicker.

Well, that's not really an option or I will be in PAIN all month long. I checked and the ingredients look almost EXACTLY the same (inactive). I don't see how I would be having a reaction to the A333 Actavis but, not the 932 and 749 Watson's. It makes no sense.

If you are like me and I see A lot of you are, always ask because I believe every drugstore has those UnGodly Alvogen manufactured pills, I don 't know why they are so bad maybe because it takes forever to see results then they are shortlived ??. It's true Walgreens NO longer carries The round white 932's Don't know why but I guess they're just jumping on the Lortab /Lorcet band. However a few Walgreens in rural places still have the 10/325 Watson's in stock. If you're lucky then grab them. I don't believe that Watson went outta bizzness especially their Percocets 932; they were already at the 325 mg Acetaminophen level. They do still carry the 5/325 hydrocodone with the orange speckles on them..and so many other products like Florcets and Soma. I just don't understand why percocets 932 but that's what the store manager said? I've been using the local corner store and they keep the Endocet E 712 for me since forever. I just can't afford Walgreens price for their Percocets all the time but when I did, one would have me nodding. The E712's I have to take three and off I go. Their both excellent for my back and overall pain. I don't think I'd be doing anything except still suffering with hydrocodone. Some people love it tho and the same ones love those Alvogen's. That just goes to show people are different and they rather different things. This same person threw a 10/650 Mallinkrot back in his mouth when they did have them with the 10/650 scored on them. Same person rather the Endocet 7.5/325 E700 bragging because they were fat and round but He doesn't like the 10/325 yellow E712 just because of the look. Talking bout those E700 7.5's are the "REAL ONES". some people are so shallow.Watson 932 over all Endocet E712 next best. I wish I was around when the Watson 10/650's where here.

That is 100% correct as I read my medicine bottle right now everything is a generic if it says anything other than percocet my brand name percocet is more than 10x the price of most all generics I have taken and their is a reason it cost more it actually works like it was suppose to to make most medicines affordable you cut corners that is how it all works it sucks but is a fact
