For Chronic Pain "This med has given many like me an ability to help keep my pain level low enough to get back to having some sort of functional life. I recently changed pharmacies and was provided a different brand. I started with SpecGx for almost a year now, and it helped me so much, my rating is an 8 for that. Now, I was given the brand Rhodes. HUGE, train wreck difference... NO pain relief with horrible nausea, dizziness, an inability to function as normal, and then within 2 hours, I would have a severely bad headache. I even tried half, but it's a milder train wreck w/zero pain relief. It's the worst quality. Due to laws that screw us legit patients, I can't exchange for a different generic and am stuck with my pain and uselessness all month. Generics don't require the same quality of ingredient nor the same percentage of ingredient... just enough to be acceptable to the FDA. The pharmacy can't order me a specific brand, and others won't tell me what brand they dispense. It shouldn't be this complicated for us."

For Chronic Pain "Looks like I had to take a look at reviews and share my experience with the prescription of Rhodes 10 mg, 120 count oxycodone I received last month. I am 100% disabled, have had over 12 surgeries for all knees and shoulders, including 2 total replacements. Degeneration of spine and herniated disk. Sarcoma survivor and several comorbidities. Pain medication for over 15 years. Usually, all I have received has been the KVK Tech brand. CVS handed me this Rhodes brand. From the first dose, it was off, I felt light dizziness, nausea, and hot flashes. Didn't notice pain relief. Like others, I'm sure don't want to call up and rock the boat with the prescribers and chemists since the monthly process is so painful. I did call CVS today inquiring about my doctor specifically prescribing a generic brand name after this last month's fiasco of torture. His response was it's whatever CVS purchases at the time and cannot guarantee a request. Don't understand why, if a doctor specifically writes as prescribed, they can't just order it."
