"I was diagnosed with a bulging disc that radiates to my tailbone. I have peripheral neuropathy in my feet and toes, as well as slight RLS. The issue I came across is it is very hard to convince doctors of the pain involved with this type of disease. My 1st doc visit, I was given Tylenol 3 (baby aspirin for neuropathy), then moved up to Norco 7.5 2x/day, still not enough, then moved up to Norco 10's 2x/day and was still not enough. All this took 8 months, 8 months of constant pain. I found the Norco side effect of difficulties with being able to finish during sex, and the loss of feeling was not pleasant. So my doctor switched me to Percocet 10/325. Wow, what a difference. This medication was a lifesaver for me. I have my life back."

"I’ve been dealing with lupus, scoliosis, and RA since I was 18 years old. I’m now 42. My doctor has tried so many different treatments and pain meds, and it seems as if nothing helps. The pain meds work only for a while, and now they’re treating me like an addict, wanting to bring me in for random drug tests and counting the pills. It’s sad, I’m hurting daily and need some relief!"

"I have had reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) for about 2 years now in my leg after 3 surgeries to repair my Achilles tendon and peroneus brevis tendon and a DVT. I take Percocet 10, tramadol, and baclofen. The med is a lifesaver. I am a nurse and work 12-hour shifts, lots of walking and standing. Not sure I could work without it. I'm only 43. So thankful that I was prescribed this."

"I will be switching pharmacies because they did not have my Percocet brand in stock. Instead, they gave me the t194 ones (Camber Pharmaceuticals, Inc.), and I don’t like them. I still have pain, the company should be ashamed for having these instead of the ones that actually work."

"The garbage they've given us, 10/325 white oblong is totally disgusting. This doesn't work. Bring back the 10/325 yellows. For weird spine, disc slips, and broken bones is what helps me and everyone else who needs it. All these pharmaceuticals are messed up. Why are our insurances paying for generics that do not work?"

"I changed pharmacies and was dispensed the T 194 Camber Percocet. I am having problems with this medication relieving my chronic pain. It seems to cause breathing problems also. I was previously taking IP204 (Amneal Pharmaceuticals) and M523 (Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals), which managed my pain fairly well. My pharmacist must change this brand as I cannot take another month of T194 (Camber Pharmaceuticals, Inc.). Terrible med."

"I've had chronic cluster headaches for 40 years. I have tried just about every medication recommended for headaches. The only thing that works is some type of narcotic pain medication, even though the use of these for headaches is definitely not recommended. But for me, that's the only thing that works. I'd rate this as a 10 for that purpose. I've been taking it for other pain the past three months; a badly broken lower leg and four broken ribs that happened as the leg was almost healed. This drug worked very well for the leg, but not nearly as well for the ribs. I'd rate it as a 9 for the leg, but only a 5 or 6 for the ribs. I can immobilize the leg fairly well, but there's no way to do that with the ribs."

"I have a painful connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and have been having pain for 6 years. My pain has been rapidly getting worse for several months, to the point where I am unable to work, take care of my home, or take care of myself. I was prescribed this medication after being hospitalized for severe pain so bad I was screaming, crying, thrashing around, vomiting, and losing consciousness. IV dilaudid got the worst pain under control, and 2 Percocet usually prevents my pain from getting that bad, but not always. I find that when I take it with a muscle relaxer called tizanidine, it works a bit better. It helps my level 7-9 pain, but for level 10 I still have to go to the ER sometimes. But it's still a good drug."

"This medication has improved my lifestyle more than I can express! Other than developing a degree of tolerance to this medication, it has helped me get off my butt and become active again! As a 'Nam vet, I've had my share of injuries, including seven hip surgeries. On my request, my doctors will change this medication occasionally to dilute so my body can 'regroup,' helping the oxycodone work better after a month! I caution anyone taking this medication to be cautious of people visiting you because I was shocked at the degree some will go to to gain access to this! People constantly called me with various injuries, wanting me to 'loan' them a few! Hope this was helpful for true chronic pain patients! God bless! ✌️"

"These pills are not effective! For the last few months, I've been given this type of pill, which is the T194 generic brand, and I plan to let the FDA know they may need to investigate the makers. All other brands I have taken are more effective."

"These are my lifesavers. Having the chronic pain that I have, I would not be able to function without them. We have a disabled son, and he doesn’t walk, and he weighs 145 lbs. He’s 20 years old, and it’s a job taking care of him. I would not be able to do it without my pain medication."

"I've been on different types of pain meds since an accident and through PT and wanted to reduce. Which I have to 10 mg of Percocet 3x a day, and it works. Suddenly, my pharmacy was bought over that I have been going to for years, and now the pills didn't work like at all… I even bit into it because I know the taste, and it did not taste like the meds. The pill was a white circular pill with R P and 10 on the back. I don't know how to address this situation. Can anyone help? It's like a placebo or something. I don't know how to handle this. Any advice would be much appreciated."

"I've had back pain since my sophomore year in high school. It wasn't until around 19 years old when it became crippling. I could not stand, walk, or lay down. Sit or even do anything without almost crying in pain. Tried everything from a chiropractor to steroidal medicines. Tried Baclofen and Gabapentin. Even 5 MG Percocets, which did little. It wasn't until my doc suggested to up it a little more till it really helped! It gets a bad rep because of people who abuse them, but if you take them as prescribed and only when you really need it, you will not have any issues. This drug has saved my life. I can sleep comfortably. I can walk and move around like I haven't in years. I am very satisfied with this drug. Works perfectly for chronic back pain."

"Must admit that I only read a few comments. Only because I'm tired. But I am astonished that I haven't read (or missed reading) what I consider to be the biggest problem. Not the only one, but from my experience, the biggest. Doctors very routinely advise you to 'stay ahead of the pain.' Now there is a prescription for addiction, if I ever heard of one. How, pray tell, do you know when the pain has run its course and there is no longer any pain to stay ahead of?"

"I was on the 5/325 for 5 years, it wasn't relieving the pain. The Dr. put me on 10/325. Again, it works so far for 4 more years. But I don't want to keep going up. At times when I wake up in no pain, I don't take any. Rare, but it happens, until the nerve pinches. It's a drug that I have not taken for days, and I don't seem to have the craving for it. I do this so I don't get addicted to them. But I'm not sure I have any side effects that others have. I would rather take one 2mg tablet of Dilaudid that I have no side effects at all."

"I have not been out of pain for 41 years. I lived at a pain level of 3. Now I have not been able to get any effective pain relievers in well over a year. Living in Florida is a nightmare horror. My life has stopped, I go nowhere, see no one, and worse than that is no one that can help will help. Had I known about Florida's pill mill problem, I would have never moved here. I have been responsible and am now paying the price for people that could not. Now I can't get brand name meds either, which I would have had to mortgage my house for."

"I am 51. I have scoliosis, spondylo grade 3 (forward spine shift), 11 protruding disks, RA, severe stenosis, and more. You could not tell by looking at me. I stay busy all day. I can barely walk when I get up in the morning or resting when I do. I take 10/325 six times daily. This makes my life so much better!! My doc wanted me on morphine in between, but insurance would not pay. I still have pain, but I am so thankful it is less with this med!! I used to take hydrocodone, it made me so very sick."

"At first, I loved it - felt like Superman. I could juggle my four kids and my household with one arm tied behind my back. Then it started - the need to pop a pill to function. No longer Superman, instead, I had become an addict, I believe, of the worst kind. Worse than heroin, worse than anything you could ever imagine. I didn’t want to face the day, and juggling? I couldn’t even walk if I didn’t have any pills. My advice to anyone who takes a painkiller, especially this one... STOP!! Or you just gave permission for oxycodone to dictate your life."

"I have taken Percocet 10/325 for a couple of years now, after I have had 2 back surgeries. All I can say is, the days I go without the medication I am unable to do a thing. I am totally worthless. I can barely walk, and I can't stand up straight. I am hunched over like I am 100 years old. The pain all comes back in my back and leg. I am so miserable for at least a week before I can get a refill on my meds. I truly wish my doctor would understand. Otherwise, the medication works great for my pain when I have it."

"I was given a script of 60 per month. I've had 3 back surgeries for blown L4-5-6 S-1, T11-12 with half a rib removed. Developed peripheral neuropathy in both feet to the point of stigmata. Developed DVTs, had a massive pulmonary embolism that felt like a spear in my chest. Then they implanted an IVC filter. All the while due to my spinal injury changing the gait of my walk, limping my right hip totally imploded and was to receive total replacement surgery 2 years ago that has been postponed due to the unhealthy sores on my feet that will not heal due to nerve damage and the blood thinners I've had to take since my PE. CATCH 22. So, my primary was content to just keep me on opioids, increasing the dose as needed. They helped me sleep, not waking up 3-4 times per night screaming in pain from a seizure in my hip or legs (mind-bending pain). Anyway, I got sick of not caring, a side effect of the meds, and in April 8 months ago, I stopped taking all pain meds. I can think again now!"

"T194 off yellow 10/325 oxycodone by the maker Camber Pharmaceutical Inc. Beware bad side effects. Many of the big pharmacies have switched to the garbage medication that causes many issues."
