"I have been on 10/325 Endocet for over 8 years. I lived in WA for 3 of those years, now moved to ND. In WA, I paid $25.00 for 224 every 29 days. My pharmacist here, as of today, is charging me $395.00 every 29 days. He says the price is going up, and if he runs it through my insurance, he will lose money. I cannot do this anymore. I've been disabled since 2009. My spine is cemented L2, 3, 4, 5 & S1, it's also got 2 rods and 8 screws. My upper spine is twisted from degeneration and fused in 2 places. I don't know what to do. I had tried different ones like Watson, but they don't make them anymore. I have chronic pancreatitis and cannot take any NSAIDs. Reading all these comments is scaring me as to WHAT DOES ONE TAKE WHEN ENDOCET GETS TOO DARN EXPENSIVE. (Oh, only 1 pharmacy will order them for me) any suggestions???"

"When the cortisone shots stopped helping me, my doctor prescribed Endocet. Day one, I was able to walk, sit, stand, and lay down pain-free. I do get a little bit light-headed. I'll take that any day! Previously tried hydrocodone all the way to 10/325, and I was still in pain. This really works wonders."

"Chronic neck and back pain from congenital stenosis and degenerative disc disease, which also creates bad arthritis. Started with Activis 10/325 generic Percocet, and it worked great. About 1 year later, they switched to Camber and Mallinckrodt (however it’s spelled). They are both bad. The Mallinckrodt starts strong and provides great pain relief, but only for 2-3 hours, if lucky. Found out I could request any special medication I wanted. So after I heard that, I immediately Googled who had the best generic for Percocet for about 3 hours. Found out about 75% of everyone said ENDOCET was the best. And that makes sense since Endocet is Percocet's own generic (weird they’d make their own generic). And Endocet is definitely the best I’ve had, and I’ve had a lot of generics and the original, Percocet; Endocet is basically Percocet."

"Work-related injury 20 years ago followed by 5 back surgeries, fusions at L4/5 & L5/S1. The spinal cord stimulator worked for a couple of months until my body formed scar tissue and pushed the electrodes out of place. From here, I went to prescription therapy, even tried CBD, but that was useless. Over time, we (my doctor and I) settled on Percocet and 10/325, 120 tablets. My pharmacy was low, so they mixed Percocet (100 tablets) with Endocet (20 tablets). I was told it was the same medication. During the month, I noticed that the Endocet was not working as well as the Percocet. (Percocet is white, Endocet is yellow). The next month, I got all Endocet because it's all the pharmacy had available. It's not that Endocet doesn't work, but it only gives me about 60% relief instead of the 85-90% that I get with Percocet."

"After a few on-the-job injuries, 2 lumbar spine surgeries & 7, (yes, I said 7), cervical spine surgeries over 15 years, I have tried every narcotic & non-narcotic pain reliever going. I am in constant pain since 2 of the neck surgeries were failures! My pain management Dr. is a saint in letting me play guinea pig since I wanted less narcotics. After almost 20 years of 24/7 documented pain & surgeries, Endocet does the best job ever! (Percocet is aces but who can afford it!). I’ve been on 10/325mg Endocet for almost 15 years now and haven’t needed anything stronger, nor have I needed to ask for any more than my normal 150 quantity. If the pain gets unbearable, I am to take 2 every 4 hours, which works pretty well for me. Not many side effects, every 2nd or 3rd Rx I may get ‘the itchies’ an hour after taking them, it sucks but does go away. Thank you for Endocet 10/325."

"I have Fibromyalgia and I have taken Oxycodone for when I am having a bad day and my Fibromyalgia flares up. It helps me have a better life. I can get up and move. This medication takes the edge off for me. It does not take all the pain away, which is okay because I just want to be able to function rather than staying in bed or on the couch all day, unable to get up due to the pain."

"Endocet 7.5. I have severe spinal cord injuries. A large prominent hemangioma that is compressed in T6 with disks bulging. I also have cervical radiculopathy C6, C7 compressed with severe foraminal narrowing. Lumbar is disseminating as well. This helps. I suffered for years in Humboldt County, California. Doctors refused MRI for 12 years. Now I have severe arthritis as well as osteophytes. I take 4 a day and am grateful. 12 years in Humboldt County, California, and zero help! Moved to Indiana, they gave me an MRI immediately and were appalled by California care. I have had cortisone, which caused me to go blind. 6 surgeries later to see and can't see after dark. I don't have mobility anymore. I am so grateful to have something more than Tylenol. The acupuncture, chiropractor, body manipulations, homeopathic doctor, and also physical therapy did not help. Thousands spent. This inexpensive pill is everything now."

"I had a major injury, fell from over a two-story scaffold while on a job. Long story short, I LIVED. Having landed on my back and neck, I was unconscious and awoke in the ER, and now I live with shattered discs and other problems. It has now been over 2 1/2 years. I was on Norco, and like others have said, it just wasn't cutting it. My comparison to this after only being on it a few months is that it works better mg per mg than Lortab, but I get massive heartburn and I see I'm not alone."

"Have two torn rotator cuffs and been in physical therapy for over a year. I first was taking nothing until all MRIs, X-rays, etc., were done after I had waited a month before going to the doctor. The doctor first put me on two Endocet 10/325 a day and sent me to an orthopedic clinic. The orthopedic plan: physical therapy, quarterly injections of cortisone, and continued PCP pain treatment. With physical therapy 3 times per week, an increase of one more tab per day was requested by my physical therapist to withstand the pain. So I have been on 3 per day for about a year with good results. Osteoarthritis has set up in my shoulder joints as well due to the damage caused by my tears/accident. Sleeping is a huge problem still! No side effects on me."

"I have had a spinal fusion for 10 years. I have been on pain medicine from hydrocodone, the Lortab, to you name it, and without a doubt, it is the most effective medicine I’ve ever been on for my back. One pill every eight hours, no pain throughout the whole day. Thank you for making that, it changed my life. The chronic pain does not suck my life away anymore."

"Been in pain management for 8 years. Until 2 weeks ago, I was taking 120 mg methadone along with 5 x 30 mg oxycodone a day. I have spinal stenosis, DDD, DJD, post laminectomy syndrome, osteoarthritis in knee, spine, and shoulder. I missed a pill count and was discharged. 2 weeks later, I finally got into another pain management clinic, and he puts me on 4 Endocet 10/325 a day. Nothing in comparison to what I was on, but it was my first visit, so I wait. My first day on it, and it already makes my stomach upset, but it was worth it to get anything."
