For Chronic Pain "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???"

For Chronic Pain "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."

For Chronic Pain "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."

For Chronic Pain "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."

For Chronic Pain "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."

For Chronic Pain "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."

For Chronic Pain "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."

For Chronic 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."

For Pain "I had endoscopic sinus surgery and took 80 pills in the first two weeks. The pharmacist made me feel like an addict and made me so mad! Now my pain is reducing a lot, it has been three weeks since surgery, and I use only one pill to make it through my workday. I have no side effects and do not want to get addicted, but it really helps a lot with pain control and lets me function instead of cry and whine."

For Pain "I was in a very bad car accident in 2009, needless to say I've been on pain medication since then and have been given everything from hydrocodone to fentanyl patches to OxyContin. I'm only 27, so it's hard to be doped up and tired all the time. And it was either nausea or headaches all the time. My doctor put me on Endocet 10s about a year ago, and they are the absolute best thing for my pain. My tolerance isn't rising quickly either. I'm very pleased so far with this medication, no negative side effects aside from very mild bathroom troubles."

For Chronic Pain "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."

For Pain "Husband has been on Endocet for 7 years. It was the only narcotic pain reliever that works for him. He refuses to accept other generics as they do not work as well for him. I am sure body chemistry plays a role in which med works for each individual. For him, Endocet is the best."

For Chronic Pain "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."

For Pain "It works better than Lortab, I think. It was getting to where I had to take at least 3 Lortab 10 mg just for my pain to go away. Now I am on Endocet 7.5 mg, and it does wonders. The thing is, medicines scare me because I don't want to get addicted, but I have been taking this medicine for a good long time, and I have just recently been coming off of it, and I haven't suffered from one withdrawal. It's awesome."

For Chronic Pain "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."

For Pain "I've used the brand name 'Percocet 7.5' before, and it worked very well. But I was recently diagnosed with a pinched nerve in my neck and was having severe pain with it and was prescribed Percocet and was given this generic brand 'Endocet.' Even though it's a higher dosage, 10 mg, it doesn't work near as well. I'm having to take 1 and 1/2 pills to get any relief. I wonder if there are different companies (and how many) that make Percocet generic brands? I've found the same problem with Ultram/tramadol 50 mg. Some of the generic brands just don't work for me at all, but there is one specific generic tramadol that does work very well for me, which is the one my pharmacist knows to give me when filling my script."

For Pain "I have 3 herniated discs in my lower back and sciatica. The 10/325 Endocet is magnificent for stopping the intense, constant pain I always feel. However, it makes my head feel really loopy and spacey. Not that I'm complaining about that (it is still kind of novel/fun), but it's something I think other people should be aware of."

For Pain "Like any pain pill, it will vary greatly on side effects and effectiveness with each patient. For me, I have been on 10/325 for 2 years for chronic pain from an injury. Before that, I had been prescribed hydrocodone, and the side effects from that for me were a lot like what I've seen people here say about hydrocodone. I got a tolerance very quickly and would have to take more. I was very agitated, extremely exhausted, and even with all of that, I would still be unable to be productive due to pain. I've tried some other things before this also, but nothing was helping. I still have pain, and yes, some days nothing seems to ease it on those really bad days, but I am really happy with this medicine still being effective 2 years later."

For Pain "I have currently been changed from Lortab 10 to Endocet 10 for herniated discs, and I find that it helps the pain but makes me very tired and easily irritated. I can be fine one second, and the next I want to punch someone, then I'm crying. Although the Lortab wasn't as effective for the pain, it didn't make me tired or crazy. I have 2 kids, so I need to be on top of my game at all times. I also found it very hard to keep awake after taking these."

For Pain "I have been dealing with lower back and leg pain for the last year and a half. I was started on Oxys 5 mg. It took a while to figure out how much I needed to make it through a day. It could be anywhere from 2 to 8 daily and never had any problem working. My script was changed to Percs 5 mg, and they seem to work a lot better and only needed at most 4 per day, but I had a hard time trying to work. My last script was for Endocet 10 mg. I took one before I went to bed, and the next day waking up was really hard to do things like talking. I'm only using a 1/2 of one at a time at this point, and on a good day just a half, on a bad day 1 & 1/2."

For Pain "Had severe back and leg pain for 5 years before a tumor that had pinched my spinal cord was discovered on the left side of C5/6. I was taking 45 mg before the surgery and 90 mg (am now gradually lowering the dose). Works pretty well, but it really slows down the bowel motion, so have to take a stool softener with it."

For Pain "After having major oral surgery, I was given this, and I was skeptical about this medicine. I had never heard of it before, but it really helped with the pain. I later found out it was the same as Percocet, which I was familiar with."

For Pain "I've been on pain medicines for 10 years now. The first 8 years on the yellow name brand Percocets 240 10/325, the last 2 years on the generic version, which is the Endocet E712-10/325. I also take 60 OxyContin 40 mg a month. The combination of the two has been a dream come true."

For Pain "I have experience taking Endocet (10-650 mg) with an anti-inflammatory medication called Celebrex. Together they work excellently for severe lower back pain. Recently I required a refill and had to go to a different pharmacy, which in turn gave me Oxycodone/Apap (10-650 mg) and found no relief for severe lower back pain. The combination of Celebrex and Oxycodone didn't work."

For Pain "Causes less nausea, in comparison to Norco 10. Oxy 10s are obviously going to do the trick better but also without the nausea. Overall, for moderate pain in most normal situations, this is the way to go (especially if your stomach is touchy)."
