tercaThe number of support groups are limited, and I Am thinking that drugs.com should combine name brand and generic, many concerns/questions are the same.

It has been my experience that many of the questions are different too. Just look at the massive misnomer that Roxicodone (or what is affectionately called "Roxis") is some mediation unto itself. I find there is little knowledge that this is just name brand Oxycodone from many who ask questions about Roxicodone. I think that's a good reason to have them separate. But that's just me.

Unfortunately many site users don't spend any time doing their own research and determine the name of their medication and its generics. If I am taking a medicine and especially if I want to discuss it then reading up on it is the first step. A lot of hearsay goes on here and, like the previous user said, linking them would cause mass confusion and time wasted getting everyone up to speed.

I too have had to explain to people that Roxie's are oxycodone. Too many people do little research and rely on word of mouth. Have you ever wondered why a company would make a strong narcotic drug like oxy in a pill form that is easily smokable? It is often smoked by abusers and leave almost no residue. If worked on formuating drugs and this seems like a strange and convientient formulation. Just a coincidence?
