For Chronic Pain "I have been a chronic pain patient for 10+ years and had it controlled to an extent taking oxycodone. About 4 months ago, the manufacturer brand of the oxycodone was changed to Rhodes Pharmaceuticals, and ever since, I have been incredibly sick, in major pain, and in withdrawals 24 hours a day! I did some research and saw the reviews for this company's meds and complaints, and I swear to the powers above, once I switched to a different manufacturer, I feel much better! Whatever was in or isn't in the Rhodes' pills, it made me so sick I couldn't even get out of bed some days and ended up in the ER as I have COPD and in withdrawals that I didn't know about! After the ER visit, today on the new medication, I feel like a semi-human again! The Rhodes Pharmaceutical meds are inefficient, making people sick with whatever they are putting in (or not) their pills! Plus, losing 20 pounds in a year that I could not afford to lose as I'm end stage COPD and underweight from being unable to eat from the side effects from their med. Can anyone share on this site?"

For Chronic Pain "What in the world is happening here!!! I’ve been on oxycodone for over 10 years, always had the kvktech until the last few scripts. One was Amneal and another Rhodes. What are in these pills? They are making me sick!! Can’t find a pharmacy near me with the kvktech, and the pharmacists either say they “can’t tell me what brand they have” or they are very reluctant to do so, and they aren’t allowed to order a certain brand. We have no control over our own healthcare choices."

For Pain "These white pills with the R/P on one side and 5/325 on the other side made by Rhodes Pharmaceuticals made me feel like I was dying. In fact, I wonder if I could die from taking these. I've never had a problem with other pain medications like Percocet or oxycodone. The fillers in this pill are dangerous. I couldn't breathe, and my face and mouth got puffy and weird. I couldn't see straight and felt no pain relief - just terribly sick. These should be illegal. Cancer patient here."

For Chronic Pain "Rhodes Pharmaceuticals generic oxycodone hydrochloride is hit or miss. One month you might get a good prescription, the next month you might get 'duds.' They make me extremely sick and lethargic. I have diarrhea-type bowel movements, zero pain relief. I've filed a report at the FDA MedWatch. It is a shame the sick, the real sick (not toenail pain patients) have to suffer."

For Chronic Pain "On roxi 30 mgs, 6x a day. Reading all the negs about Rhodes brand. I've been on the little blue pills for 5 yrs. I've got to say, everyone's different. The little K/59? Did work, but found I was taking more and double dosage for relief, which led to running out, sometimes 2 wks before refill. Sucks, withdrawal I guess like heroin. Anyhow, when switching to the RP/30, they work better, long term for me. Only time I would be able to still have right amount by refill. If I take them too close together, they made me sick as in nervous, wired the wrong way. So I'm scared to take differently than prescribed, also, pain stayed away longer. Just proves everyone is different. I enjoy the Rhodes ones. I truly hope that you can find YOUR right combination. ...peace...love..out!"
