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 have been on Oxycodone 30 mg manufactured by Mallinckrodt for 9 years. My pharmacy stopped ordering from them and orders from RHODES PHARMACE. I started taking the generic oxycodone 30 mg from RHODES PHARMACE 5 days ago and have been in pain ever since. It has given little relief, but not enough. I cannot function as I did while on Mallinckrodt's oxycodone. I hope there is a way to get back to Mallinckrodt's oxycodone as it works for me."

For Chronic Pain "The pill from Rhodes does not work as well as the one from KVK Tech. Pain does not go away as quickly or completely and comes back faster. Those of us with Thoracic Surgery Pain Syndrome/Post-Thoracotomy Pain: 'pain after thoracotomy - very severe, probably the most severe pain experienced after surgery' have to fight not only the pain, but pill manufacturers messing with ingredients. For the Big Pharmas to produce/sell them for less money, so pharmacies buy the cheaper pills and mess with the patient (the people who are in constant pain-remember us?!) to save .00001 cent per hundred pills. I am sorry to sound angry-but I AM angry! I was OK with four or five 10 mg pills per day. I could live almost a regular life! Do yoga a couple times a week, clean the house, and perhaps even do a bit of gardening on the same day. Now it hurts to do any activity using my upper body. (RLL removed 12/07, LUL resection in 2/16). I am only 60 years old-I should be able to have a 'normal' life."

For Chronic Pain "I just saw a post similar to mine. I was just switched from my light blue Mallinckrodt 30 mg oxycodone HCl 5x daily to the Rhodes version. Absolutely no problem before, but now I am experiencing moderate pain that goes in a horizontal line across my abdomen. The line is 1.5 inches above the navel. Before this symptom started, I had an irritated region in what seemed like my stomach. Anyone else have this?"

For Chronic Pain "My comment is for the oxys from Rhodes Pharm. They suck so bad, they make me feel jumpy and I have a headache, and I'm in a lot of pain. I'm on pain meds for over a decade, so I do know what I'm talking about. It is just this month's prescription, they gave me a different company."
