Dr.switched me over to 5mgs Oxycodone.I know that Percocet is

oxycodone plus tylenol vs.the oxycodone has no tylenol etc.

{Has anyone else taken both of these meds and did you notice or feel a

difference between the two?}

Any advice or info, would be so greatly appreciated!

acetaminophen(Percocet, Endocet, Roxicet, Tylox)for the relief of pain.

More recently, ibuprofen has been added to oxycodone (Combunox).

Yes! I just recently have due to a change in pharmacies!

Hi, well I take percocet as a breakthrough and Avinza as my pain

medications (3 times a day-and percocet up to 4 times a day for

breakthrough only). I have had brand and generic from a local pharmacy

and also mail off, the only troubles I am having are the generics

coming from mail orders (other states) are more heavier coated and are

not breaking down in my system and being absorbed fast enough, they

are being passed before breaking down. My doctor's are now writing

Brand Name Only (signing the Rx on the Left-Side Only) for that

purpose too.

From the local pharmacy (CVS) I never had a problem with either or on

pain meds, or on wellbutrin (for depression),

I noticed a big difference, generic didn't work as well, but now it is

only with my mail off percocet, well oxycodone, so,

I will more than likely have to try brand-name only too, or change

med's all together, whatever my physicians feel necessary,

they are are baffled at the fact " the ghost tablets " are appearing,

but the wellbutrin is a matrix which is common sometimes for the

" shell only " -but for medical Purpose's I checked and they were not

shells they were solid tablets.

Has this happened to anyone recently before, and what was the outcome

of it?

Thanks.

But, no, Jenn, always before, from CVS (same pharmacy) brand or

generic never made a difference, only now with the mail-off and the

extra coatings I'm am having problems. Good Luck to you.

Janet
