Endocet Vs Oxycodone (Page 9)

I HAVE BEEN ON OXYCODONE FOR OVER 2 YEARS AND MY DRUG STORE RAN OUT AND GAVE ME ENDOCET? SAID IT WAS THE SAME THING BUT MY BODY TELLS ME THAT IT'S NOT THE SAME. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CHANGE?

Sue I don't understand. You are saying no substitute for oxycodone. Endocet is manufactured by endo pharm. and endocet is oxycodone.

I take the generic brand of Percocet. They have a TEC on one side and a score on the other. Don't know if being in Canada make a difference on the look. I do know that this is definitely superior to Endocet. I find nothing takes my pain away completely, but two of these and at least I can get a couple of hours sleep. There is one of my earlier posts, that has a blue link. If you click on that it tells what it is and shows a pic.

Wow! Try to get to the bottom of these generic brands...ok, what I found was that, I am taking a generic brand of Percocet. They are made by a German Pharmaceutical company,RATIOPHARM INC. (generic TEC imprint) and then bought by a company called Teva, in Ontario, Canada. For me these work much better than Endocet.

Percocet has tylenol in it and percodan has aspirin.

I have brand name now. I hate it. I prefer endocet any day over brand name so they said they will order it in for me. The doctor wrote a script and wrote no substitute. I like endocet better then watson now. It works so good for me.

The whole pharmacy industry is only getting poor quality generics , I mean bad. I can't find any pharmacy that is carrying any thing but amneal, Actvis, zydus, par, all are garbage and people are getting screwed paying for these low quality generics. Yes a real free market system we have here.

You should try a small mom and pop pharmacy because the walgreens told me that's who mostly would carry endocet. She said they are around because if they weren't they would be out of business. Amneal is awful!

I don't appreciate your comment but in a way understand. I do have cancer and you act if we should be locked away in a hospital to die. I'm sorry for what happened to your son but you don't have the right to say if you're on a fentanyl patch you need locked away . I am on the 25s and have been for over a year. Blame it on the poor judgement of the Dr and don't be biased against us who are actually ill.

I have been taking oxycodone 5mg. for a year now and went to the pharmacy the other day and was given for the first time endocet 5mg. It hardly did anything for my pain and made me itchy all over. It was horrible! The pharmacist said it was the same meds as the oxy , but it didn't work for me at all, it made me feel worse!!! Stick to what you take that works well for you! Endocet sucks

To "dowhatucan2stop"...
Do a search for "Hatch-Waxman Act". If you read thru it, you'll find a clause where pharms are allowed to deviate +/- 20% of the active ingredient.

I agree! I've been on 5-325 oxycodone for my peripheral neuropathy, never could afford Percocet. My last script was written (generic sub okay as usual) , but this time I received Endocet 5-325. My feet are buzzing light crazy and when I walk my toes feel like they are going to fall off, and on fire, very painful. I've learned my lesson to never accept Endocet 5-325 again. Side note: Once I received Roxicet 5-325 but I could tell any difference and in the beginning some 12 years ago I started out on Percocet 5/325 and the only difference I could feel was that Oxy made me sweat terribly for a long time until I got use to it. I really need to be able to walk, I already use a cane do not want a chair. So now I wait until my next script, get it right and of course have to build back up the right amount of oxy. Making Generic drugs to hold down the cost is a good thing, but the main ingredient should not be messed with, we are not lab rats.
