The reason for this recall is that there was found that some contained particle of opiates.They are recalling some 1,600 lots according to this reliable source. I just wanted anyone that is fighting addiction to be aware of this new problem. Most of us use one of these drugs sooner or later for some types of problems. I don't have the info on the lot #'s or anything, but it was sent out as an ALERT!

Hey Mary - I received this too. It was a FDA MedWatch Alert. Shortly after receiving the one you posted I got another pertaining to the same manufacturing plant. The second one sited Endo Pharmacuticals packaged at that same plant could also have problems with Opana, Percocet, Endocet and a few others. This alert said that there could be a problem of a stray opiate being packaged in another of these meds. So if you take meds made by Endo be sure and check that all of the pills in your bottle are REALLY the pills that are supposed to be in there. Just thought I would add this. I did receive both messeges. Kinda scary huh?
Hugs to all -Terri-

Looks like I posted about the same time Mindy did. I too received 2 seperate alerts but she is correct it goes both ways. Mary I got my alerts from this site so I'm sure it doesn't make any difference which one you receive the alert from. It is good info.

Hmmm maybe that is why I think my Opana ER isn't working. . Just kidding ;o)

Not a joke,either, & it explains why I had to run all over Monday to get my oxycodone refilled. Most including my own pharmacy didin't get their orders. My pharmacist siad it is due to the DEA cracking down on them & their orders. Wouldn't surprise me at all... Mary

Good call Mary!! Unfortunately, this happened a while ago, and the FDA is finally getting around to announcing it to people who keep up with this stuff. It angers the heck out of me!! I couldn't understand why my morphine, and oxy were mixed up in the same bottle, stupid pharmaceutical assistants couldn't tell the difference??? And the pharmacist doesn't bother to check either, just make sure that I am listed on their "druggie" form to report to the state. GRRRR Didn't know about the non narcotics. I guess the FDA alert hasn't gotten around to THAT announcement yet.

Guess you should call the pharmacy where you bought it & see if they have the lot numbers yet... Mary

Hi Mary,
Thank you so very much for the warning! You may have saved some lives, or saved some people from having withdrawals that are worse than usual.
I appreciate how you keep your nose to the news (did that sound odd? lol) and share it with others!! I avoid the news in general because, well, it just mucks with my Karma, and I don't want to hear bad news before bed!! But I know that if something important happens you will inform me!
I truly wonder how this happened? I bet there are swarms of addicts buying all the excedrin and gas-x they can get their hands on (ok, it was a BAD joke)
Love,
Lara

Yes, seulater, I got your comment. I am so sorry you are having such a time with your withdrawlals. Did you take SweetLemons advice & goggle P.A.W.S.? to find out info from there? I don't know how to help you with your withdrawals. I would have done a taper, but since you have already quit , you must hang in there. I understand it is different for each person as we are all different. Hopefully some firends will jump in here & help you out. My best to you seulater... Mary

wow..now this worries me..because I take excedrin and bufferin..but I go to a methadone clinic that drug tests me regularly. And if there is particles of opiates in those bottles..it can show up in those UA's..which would cause me problems..I can see my trying to convince them I haven't taken anything.. I'm sure they get lots of excuses everyday on this.. But in what..8 years now..I haven't failed one single drug test so you'd think they'd believe me ..but with my luck they wouldn't. They should be more careful with things like this..what if someone gets ahold of those who are severely allergic? Or someone like me who doesn't want opiates in my system.
