Oxycodone is the BEST pain medication for CHRONIC SEVERE LOWER LUMBAR BACK PAIN! It works a bit less by the 4th year or so, but, at least takes the "edge" off more than any other pain medication. The problem is....many, many doctors will not take you on as a patient for "chronic severe pain" with anything...if you need any narcotic in order to function! They ALL seem to be "FRAIDY CATS" because...

Everyone Who is reading this and taking this drug, get ready for the your life is about to become. If you stay on it longer than 6 weeks you are now in the oxy-head club! Once you reach tolerance level, and taking over what the Dr. prescribes its over, you loose libido, the interest in going out , ya i've heard the whole Quantity over Quality life bit spoken like a true hooked, yes addicted per...

Was switched from hydrocodone10 mg to Oxycodone 10mg cause of ineffectiveness of the mallinckrodt Hydrocodone, but went from bad to worse the Rhodes Oxycodone are garbage not as effective as extra strength Tylenol, am confused how they can call this a pain reliever not worth money I paid for prescription I feel ripped off not to mention the pain and discomfort I’m in am in total disbelief that they can get away with ripping people off !

I have had three knee replacements, major back surgery with a cage put in my back hip replacement severe osteoarthritis and this medicine did not help me one bit. I’ve taken other brands that have worked wonderfully, but this brand manufacture. I don’t think it’s real oxycodone cause it didn’t work. I couldn’t even tell I had taken one.

I always took oxycodone 5/325mg 4 times daily. It’s used to manage my pain quite well. I have 3 collapse vertebrae, L3-L5 Initially I took Watson which were 10*. But then they were changed to several manufacturers. Mallinckrodt 5mg were the best but I started having stomach cramps, reflux, and anxiety symptoms which would last about 20 minutues. This year my doctor increased the dosage to 3 x 10mg but the tablets are worthless. They are from Mallinckrodt and it’s like taking aspirin. I’ve been in pain for the last 4months. I’m going to see him on Monday to see if we can switch to another analgesic. I tried 4 x 10mg and nothing helped. So sad, and frustrated. They used to work well and I could live with my pain. I’m scheduled to see a neuro-surgeon later in the month to see what can be done with my spine.Read More Read Less

So I have been a chronic pain patient for over 20 years off and on. Usually I get a back surgery etc and eventually wean off. This time is from cancer so weaning off is less likely. Instead my tolerance is going up and up. Yet normally my Grey 20mg IR Oxy works wonders. When I was released from the hospital this time though, they gave me these really fat white ones by Rhodes....as of my stay in the hospital they were OK but I also had 50mcg iv fentanyl in me every 3hrs as needed. Now I'm home and there's relief but not as well as my Grey ones...I keep reading about the Rhodes manufacturers being junk. Now I'm scared because I have an entire month of this and no iv fentanyl to rescue me. I was placed on the patches as well for longterm but it takes a little to build in your system for full peak effects.. I hope it will cover the lack of effectiveness from the RP 20s until I can go to my regular pharmacy vs the hospital pharmacy. FYI they only use the RP version at the hospital I go to. I wonder if they had complaints about it.Read More Read Less

This white fat pill from Rhodes Pharmaceutical is horrible.it’s garbage. Doesn't work for pain and I'm tired all the time with a banging headache. If it has RP on it you're outta luck. I wondered why it was much cheaper??

I’ve been taking 10 mg Oxycodone immediate release tabs for over 10 years. It has always been my experience that 45 minutes after taking it my pain would dissipate and I would be able, then, to fall asleep. The pills were always pink. This prescription I received white pills. They do nothing. I sat up for two hours waiting for relief. Nothing. I’ve been taking these for a week. Nothing. I will have to change pharmacies next prescription. 3 months in pain. Woohoo.

I wasn’t checking the manufacture of my oxycodone 10 mg until I realized it was not working. My pain was still there. I found one of my previous prescriptions and was from Mellinkorpf (or whatever) The ones I’m getting out is from Rhodes and it does absolutely nothing to relieve my pain. The medical and pharma are still messing with us! Rhodes is the worst! I just renewed my RX & I will find a different pharmacy or see if my pain physician will change medication. I can’t believe this is happening! Read More Read Less

Like a placebo. Does NOT manage my pain. Should be illegal to do this to chronic pain patients. Need more doses to manage pain compared to other manufacturers, resulting in early refills.

Thank you, Web MD, for giving voices to souls in agony, under scrutiny and microscopes, as TONS of Fentanyl flow freely across the US border. These stories confirm the audacity of an ineffective publicity stunt, "The War on Drugs:" Government & FDA's desperate attempt to CYA, after collaborating & profiting with Purdue and multiple bad actors, to the tune of billion$, while collateral damage destroys millions of lives. Years in, we see obedient pain patients & Drs. robbed of function, careers, and LIVES, with no nationwide progress. How do these destructive decisions continue in a "civilized" society? The answer is unsettling. Corruption reigns, strangling truth, progress, and crushing the weak, from the pinnacles of our nation on down. My story is similar to most, except that Malenckrodt (& other brands) are as useless to me as writers claim Rhodes is. A Mom & Pops pharmacy claimed they had to pay $40 per RX for Rhodes 15 mg. Oxy, so could not continue serving me. Malenckrodt patches are 80% LESS effective (for me) than Mylan, but Walgreens claims they can't get my rx size from Mylan anymore. Thanks to the CVS-OXY lawsuit, 400 stores closed, (many in So-Cal). My Walgreens is inundated with miles of angry, hurting patients: think lines across the store, long phone waits, & up to 1 hr. in line. Two long-term pharmacists quit, & the new ones politely asked me for my DR. to send them 3-months of my PRIVATE progress notes or my next RX won't be filled. Since when do they get to practice medicine without a LICENSE? I'm in too much pain to think, let alone argue. If I were a dog, I'd be treated more humanely. But guess what? My doctor sees the writing on the wall. She just quit, too. (!!!!!!???) I've been couch-bound, unable to shower or go to church more than 2x a month, (sometimes in tears or stuck in the bathroom) thanks to Malenckrodt patches, & this month, their oxy as well. So apparently, SOME patient's bodies react differently. I have many food sensitivities, so on top of constant physical pain, eating is a landmine: 8 food diet lots, lots of beano-O and Benedryl. After eating, I feel like someone beat my back & head in, so that's nowv1x a day. The head pain never stops unless I sleep. History: I was PRESCRIBED opiates over 18 yrs, ago for severe spinal damage & pain due to accidents: A drunk totalled my car, a texter totalled hers by hitting me, + my youthful idiocy on a motorcycle. I barely scraped thru the FDA's homicidal 2016 '"guidelines" (which resulted in MANY patients, incl. vet's suicides). Our Kaiser pain group was full of limping patients, lying on the floor in tears, many OUT OF MEDS for 1 wk each month. Deeply scared drs parroted 180° changed dosing orders: "Stay ahead of the pain!" and accompanying literature, became: "Go home and live with it." Overnight. Rxs of 100 mcg/hr Fent patch, + 10x 15mg Oxy (per day) were cut in 1/3 in 1 visit, Soma cut from 350 mg. 3x/day to ZERO in 1 month. Agony rules, front & center. I barely make it from bed to bathroom, lost hair in clumps, became skeletal from pain. If I'd known what my life would be before I starting meds, I'd never have started. But Prozac worked, so I trusted my doctor! Now, over age 50 and still disabled, the writing is on the wall. I've seen miracles, I still believe, but I can no longer live in agony. I hope that on the "flip side" is, at the very least, cessation of PAIN. 10-4, soldiers.Read More Read Less

Terrible. Little to no pain relief. Rhodes should be sued for poisoning patients with their terrible formulations.

Contrary to many patients Rhodes Pharma has saved me and I'm back to action thanks to this brand. Zero side effects and pain is controlled enough so I can be more physically active. Remember, you can't depend only on meds to improve your quality of life.

My experience with Rhodes Pharmaceuticals Oxycodone 10 and 15mg is absolutely the worst I have ever experienced. The Pharmacies say they cannot get any otI her brands. I cannot take another month on these pills, I am nauseated all the time, and basically bed bound. I cannot function normally and I have become sociallyi solated. isolated. People do not understand how awfulI felel after taking this medication. I have eat spoonfuls of peanut butter to line my stomach, drink ginger tea and plain crackers to tolerate these pills. I just don't know what I will do if I have to take these pills for another month. Furthermore things have gotten so bad because so many people take opioids it has become difficult to switch pharmacies who stock other brands. Please Mallinkotd start increasing production.

I have had several neck surgeries and have been taking 10mg oxycodone for 6 or so years. My pharmacy recently changed to Rhodes mfg. and it has been the worst. Headaches and stomach pain. My Dr. Advised me to inform the pharmacist so they can report it. They weren't interested
