For Pain "VA is now prescribing oxycodone made by Rhodes Pharma to its chronic pain patients. This stuff is pure garbage. IT DOES NOT WORK!!! I went through withdrawal and was sick for a week as soon as they switched me to this. I, like countless other reviewers, now live with increased pain, nausea, upset stomach, and depression. My life has been turned upside down. This is how the government treats its vets. It's DISGRACEFUL! My only hope is that enough people will come forward and expose this fake garbage they are giving us."

For Chronic Pain "I was taking KVK Tech brand oxycodone 10 mg for over a year, and it works fine for me, but recently my pharmacy has switched over to Rhodes brand, which is RP 10. Let me tell you, this is the worst brand I’ve taken. It causes awful stomach pain, sore throats, depression, and headache. It doesn’t help with my pain. Anyone else have this problem? I will report it to the FDA, pharmacy, and call my doctor about it."

For Chronic Pain "I just switched pharmacies and was given the Rhodes generic for my 10/325 oxycodone prescription, which I’ve been taking for just over a year now, and it’s been an absolute nightmare this week. No pain relief and full-blown withdrawal symptoms within the first 24 hours. Depression, suicidal thoughts, and I’m feeling just awful. I called the chain pharmacy I switched to, and they said they cannot swap or help me, so I’m stuck in this nightmare for the month. Had I known generics varied from being legitimate for pain relief to completely useless, I would have done research and requested a certain brand. I can’t believe this is an actual thing in 2022. I filled out the form for the FDA that someone else posted, making an official complaint, and I’d honestly like to send some of the pills out to get tested and checked. Thank you to everyone who took the time to leave your feedback as I now know I’m not alone."

For Chronic Pain "Rhodes Pharmacy 5 mg oxycodone has saved my life. Oxys from other companies like KVK made me feel depressed, high, and sick to my stomach, but gave me pain relief still. And one day my pharmacy supplied Rhodes P. for the first time, and bingo! I fell for it ever since. In my case, Rhodes P. components cope perfectly with my body and feel practically normal and almost pain-free with 2 to 3 x 5 mg per day. A piece of advice, be active and try to exercise as much as you can, and don't rely on this med to solve your physical problems, and remember, always be positive!"
