Acetaminophen / oxycodone for Chronic Pain "I've been on my meds since 1997. I was in a car accident, crushed against a tree in my car. I didn't start my meds during the craziness. Over 20 years, my pain meds keep me normal. I've been with the same pharmacy for about 4 years. I have never given them a problem. In the beginning of this month, he claimed to have not had my usual brand. I desperately asked him how it will affect me and is this only once. He told me it's the same, different manufacturers, and that he hasn't gotten any of my normal ones. I trusted his word. Then, once I tried them, I called him and complained, explaining this is not working. He also suggested I go somewhere else. I explained to him that is not right, I simply want what I know works for me. I am praying that when it's my next pick up, he gives me what I'm supposed to have. This particular brand of Percocet has been making me sick, it's not a mind thing, it's physical pain. U17 are the markings on the pill. The brand is Aurolife Pharma LLC, and they do not serve their purpose. Please don't make the same mistakes as I did. We have rights."

For Chronic Pain "I have been on Oxycodone with Percocet 10/325 mg for over 8 years now. I suffer from Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), a herniated C5 in my neck, and arthritis in my shoulders, neck, and knees!! For over a year now, I’ve stayed in chronic pain ever since the pharmaceutical companies have changed the ingredients. I just picked up my prescription last week from CVS, and my quality of life is at 0%. I stopped going to Walgreens because the Oxycodone with Percocet Mallinckrodt brand made me sick, tired, and had terrible mood swings!! I can’t get any pain relief to go to work, take care of my home/family by cooking and cleaning or do any normal activities!! These pills are killing us more now than they have ever before with the 'opioid crisis' of overdose! If you think people overdosed before, people with chronic pain are really going to overdose NOW by taking more than prescribed!!! I hope once this is a reality to the CDC, FDA, DEA, and the GOVERNMENT there will be an awarded lawsuit for every patient this has affected!!"

For Chronic Pain "I have chronic pain in my back, knees, and sciatica. I’ve been on 7.5/325 mg pain relievers for 2+ years. The makers of my pills/pharmacies have changed many times. That’s when I started doing research. I’ve been taking Camber brand T 193 and don’t like the relief or sick feeling I get from them. Taking this brand has caused me to stay home most of the time now unlike a year ago when I could go to the grocery or other places. (I wish I had a list of the earlier brands that worked) I’ve found most generics come from India and FDA inspections are lacking. Found this informative link that sheds some light on generic drugs. Google search - Bloomberg culture-of-bending-rules-in-india-challenges-u-s-drug-agency. I wish the FDA would recognize that some people’s quality of life depends on medications that work instead of profits. More inspections of foreign drugs are needed."

For Chronic Pain "I'm so glad I read most of the reviews! My pharmacy switched from Alvogen 10/325 to Camber brand acetaminophen/oxycodone, and I've been sick for three weeks! I have severe osteoarthritis in my spine, neck, and knees, and have been taking Alvogen brand for 3 years. I'm about to refill, so I'm calling pharmacies to ask what brand they carry... I sound like a junkie, but some days I can't get out of bed. There is a definite issue with the Camber brand and it should be checked by the FDA."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone for Chronic Pain "I have four herniated discs and was prescribed Percocet, which took the edge off. I never went above the prescribed dosage. Then the drugstore switched the generic company to Camber acetaminophen/oxycodone. I felt sick, had headaches, and vomited. I never knew you could be sold total garbage from Walgreens, so I never will go back there. Instead, I will go to mom-and-pop drug stores, Mallinkrodt, maybe spelled wrong, but they work better."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone for Pain "I have taken Percocet before, and the last time I picked up my script, the pharmacy told me these may be made outside the US. Noticing some of the comments and people getting sick, is it possible that those symptoms cause the ill effect from being made outside the country? Just an opinion..."

For Chronic Pain "Please report camber meds if you think they aren't working or are bad! The FDA needs more complaints to investigate. I have filed a complaint. These pills have left me very ill. These are not oxycodone, and I am not sure if they are using the correct formula when making these pills. The FDA needs to hear from you."

For Chronic Pain "Camber T 194 white oblong pills, supposedly generic Percocet, 10 mg Oxycodone and 325 mg Acetaminophen, but I'll bet ten grand it's not. It will make you wish you'd gone to the street to get your prescription filled. For $599.00 I can have it tested and am compelled to do this as I've had numerous generic brands of Percocet in the past ten years and NEVER did they make me sick, completely useless and give me explosive diarrhea. I only took a half of a pill to see if I'd have an adverse effect as it happened once before (NOTHING like this though), and if I'd have taken a whole one, I'd be at the ER right now. Also, the T194's on the Camber website are a light green in color in their photo, but mine are white. ??? Is Camber trying to kill legitimate pain patients???"

For Chronic Pain "This ALV brand is horrible! Makes me feel so sick. They were out of my regular oxycodone and gave me this crap. I don't want to take it. I'm in more pain. Headache, an upset stomach, and feel like I have the flu."

For Chronic Pain "I've read most posts, no need to go into all my issues. 21 years on and off, mostly on. Hit by a drunk driver and had 23 surgeries and need 4 more. 53 years young now. All these posts are close to my opinion, I've taken Oxy 10/325 since '97, used to take Roxicet, the best, then Watson, very good, skipping to now 2018, meds stink! Beware of Camber, Rhodes, Alvogen! Absolutely horrible, made me sick and did nothing for my pain. My doctors are aware. I'm searching for a med to relieve this pain, I currently take the Mallinckrodt, past 2 years. It's okay, but doesn't last long at all, a couple hours of relief. I wish I knew of an Oxy that really worked. So many getting bought out that are junk meds. I don't know what works better than Mallinckrodt as I've been screwed for 30 days because the pharmacist filled with Alvogen. Horrible. What's the best reliever? We all are different, but if it works, it works."

For Chronic Pain "I've been in chronic pain for years, have tried various pain meds, but only these work for me. I have a wonderful doctor who knows I need them. Went to Walgreens a few months ago and was given Camber, no relief at all, and it made me sick. I asked if they could get my normal brand, they said no, so I switched to a pharmacy that would, and no more problems. I recommend finding a small mom-and-pop pharmacy, as they will work with you and treat you better than the chain stores. Who knows what's in the Camber brand, but it isn't pain relief. Walgreens switched because they're cheap. Good luck, everyone!"

For Chronic Pain "I have been getting my acetaminophen/oxycodone 10/325 generic Percocet filled at Costco for 4 years now. They use the Aurobindo brand, which I have had zero problems with - it controls my pain 80 to 90 percent. I have 2 spots of bad sciatica and a bulged disc. I once had to go to a local pharmacy, and they had Rhodes brand of acetaminophen/oxycodone, and it made me sick and I had very little relief. Costco makes money in the shop side of the store, so cutting costs at the pharmacy is not needed."

For Chronic Pain "In 15 years, HBO will do a documentary on how, by far, the worst and darkest chapter of the Opioid War was the FDA enabling the poisoning of society’s greatest sufferers with medication that literally feels like suicide pills. How many veterans of wars, victims of trauma, accident survivors, those with serious diseases/illnesses have had their lives completely upended and trashed by this? I’m afraid to even say I’m getting sick from these pills because, as someone who needs these, I’m terrified of being deemed a “drug seeker.” I just want an identical medication to work identically each month and not make me sick or suffer. How about that, FDA?"

Acetaminophen / oxycodone for Chronic Pain "This medication is so bad it makes me sick, it doesn't help at all with the pain. I throw up and more side effects. Why are these people doing this to us? Do they not think we are in pain? Have they ever been in pain like us? Walgreens [I go there also]. I am not sure if it is their fault. I wish I knew for sure. Just because people abuse these, now we have to suffer, the people that really need the real medication to help us get through days of real pain. I could go on as well as all the people that are suffering. What can we do?"

Acetaminophen / oxycodone for Chronic Pain "I really didn't feel any relief from this oval white pill called Percocet. It was one I've never had before, never even seen this kind from my pharmacy. They have made me sick, and I've had different ones that are great. If I receive this kind again, I'll not be doing business with the same pharmacy. I mean, really, was there something different in this pill with a U on it? I can't remember the other numbers because it's time for my refill, and before I get them, I'll tell my pharmacy not to give the same ones. Just letting everyone know they aren't worth a penny... thanks."

For Chronic Pain "CAUTION: pills 10/325 by CAMBER. Side effects have sent me to my doctors and ER. These pills caused burning of the lining of my mouth and throat, etc. The first pill taken had a very bad chemical smell and a chemical taste. It started to dissolve in my mouth right away, it got stuck in my throat. I have a paralyzed vocal cord. I felt it burning away and the god-awful taste. My other side effects of this pill have left me with nausea, massive headaches, etc. My throat is still swollen and I could not eat. The burning in my mouth and throat is still there and my stomach is still sick. I had to stop taking this pill. At first, I thought I also had the flu and got so constipated. So far, all medical tests taken to show strep throat, etc., show nothing. The doctor and ER say there is a burned look to my mouth and throat with redness. I still taste and smell that pill. I have had to go without my pain meds. I have filed a report to the FDA and will consult with an attorney."

For Chronic Pain "Most of the big pharmacies have changed over to Camber for pain medication without letting the consumer know. I could tell right away something was wrong, and I finally found a place that is using Rho brand. All the horrible side effects have diminished. So many of us rely on our medication to get through every day. Switching out our meds with Camber has to be related to cost or the government. The first month, I just kept taking them, even after I looked online, finding so many having major issues with the Camber meds because I have nothing else to help with my 3 herniated discs and nerve impingement. I was also too afraid to speak with the doctor and be taken off my meds, so I just dealt with it. I had extreme depression, very little pain relief, sometimes it felt like I got some relief, then it quickly went away. I felt constantly sick and angry. Finally, after waiting an entire 2nd month of misery, I got the real meds from a small pharmacy, and I can tell a 1000% difference from the meds."

For Pain "My doctor gave me a prescription for 5/325 oxycodone. I have pain issues from time to time, and oxycodone works well for me. When I went to my local Walgreens to fill my prescription, I was given pills from a different company. The company's name is Camber. These pills are bad!!! Do not accept them, and for sure do not take them!!! I took one pill at 6 am, and it made me sick until about 6 pm. I then had a horrible headache. The next day, I could still feel this poison in my body. This company's version of oxycodone is unacceptable! And downright criminal. Camber sucks!"

For Chronic Pain "This new T192 is awful. Been on Percocet since ‘98. And talk about pain, nausea. Flu-like symptoms. Oh my!! Thanks to people who abuse the stupid things, I have to suffer until next month when I can get a new script and go to another pharmacy. All Walgreens carry these generic pills. Beware. I’m already in pain, don’t need to be sick!! Just not fair. I don’t drink, smoke, or use any illegal drugs. I take as I am told, even less. I have cancer, and my neck and back are a mess. In fact, my pill doesn’t look exactly like the pic on this site, mine has a line on the back, otherwise same. Some sites don’t even recognize the T192. Hope this helps. Make your pharmacy open your pills before you accept."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone for Pain "I have been on and off Percocet for the last 10 years since being diagnosed with endometriosis. It's the only thing that helps when the pain gets really bad. I have tried many other NSAIDs to no avail. I only take 1/2 when absolutely required. After surgery, 1/2 every 6 hours. Be sure to take them with food to avoid feeling ill or lightheaded and out of control. I didn't like the idea of taking a narcotic, but they work, but you do need to respect them. They do have a time and place for pain."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone for Chronic Pain "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."

Absolutely no pain relief. I have a herniated and bulging disk. Both kidneys full of kidney stones. This is total junk."
