Comparing Oxycodone vs OxyContin

For Chronic Pain: The Larger issues with Generic Pain Medication is two fold; 1) The FDA does NOT have a Standard to measure the Generic Oxycodone performance as there was NEVER a Brand name to set the standard. The FDA cannot test because there is no STANDARD or Baseline Minimums for comparative analysis and; 2) The FDA Rules on the initial approval on a Generic Medication DO NOT REQUIRE ANY HARD RULE FOR MINIMUM AMOUNT OF EFFECTIVE INGREDIENT AND does NOT require FDA TESTING. 1) IMMEDIATELY REPORT THIS TO YOUR TREATING PHYSICIAN. IF IN A HOSPITAL, YOU, AND ONLY YOU HAVE TO AGREE TO BE DISCHARGED FROM CARE. A DOCTOR OR HOSPITAL CANNOT FORCE YOU TO BE DISCHARGED, (or its considered abandonment of Patient Care) AND; 2) FILE A REPORT OF ADVERSE EFFECTS OF THE MEDICATION WITH THE FDA IMMEDIATELY. You can report an issue with a Medication to the FDA online by googleing MedWatch Online Voluntary Reporting Form or via telephone at: Call FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

For Chronic Pain: If you're unfortunate enough to be prescribed RHODES PHARMA brand of oxycodone, the only way(s) I've found to make them effective in controlling my pain is either taking them immediately following a high-fat meal to help with absorption. They don't work as well as K9 / 223 / a215 brands do. Everyone needs to report this rubbish Rhodes brand to the FDA immediately, and demand a better, more reliable generic from your pharmacies. If enough complaints are issued, they'll stop carrying them! Worst rated generic for oxycodone hcl on the market - even rated worse than Xtampza!

For Pain: Ahhhh, the dreaded drug...no matter what you call it, by whatever media-scare tactic out there, what isn't trumpeted are the success stories....why is that? Does something have to be "Negative" to garner press? And if so, why is that? My story: Two brain surgeries. Manmouth amounts of pain. I tried everything -- nothing lasted like this drug. It has allowed me to go back to work, to live my life, to be a father to my children. Screw the strange looks @the pharmacy...I'm alive!

For Pain: I'm a chronic back pain sufferer who's endured extensize physical therapy, endless pain medicines, muscle relaxers, antiepileptic/antispasmodics, etc., before reluctantly undergoing surgery - Anterior lumbar fusion with posterior stabilization. Unfortunately surgery failed to relieve the pain. OxyContin's been a life-saver for me (80 mg 2/daily Percocet 10/325 for breakthrough pain)- Nothing short of miraculous in it's ability to allow me to perform daily tasks I was unable to perform previously.
