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...

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

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.

Rhodes Oxycodone is like taking a placebo! It’s not effective at all ! Am a cancer patient & stopped getting the lil blue pills which worked to these things ! The quality is SHIT ! It took 3 30s to ease my pain compared to the 1 of the other brands ! Have asked my pharmacists to order the others ! You were WARNED ! Insist on another brand ! They are adulterated & weak !

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

Little to know relief at all actually more from a spring. I wish I could take a spring but due to stomach issues I can't. It seems that the 5mg you manufacture has very little in it other than something that gives me a headache to beat the band and I'm not even going to get into the stomach pain that goes along with whatever you are putting in this product. Please I'm a chronic pain suffer who has to work even at 59 years of age. Any chance of stepping up to the plate and making a product that has some relief to the consumer?Read More Read Less

Rhodes Pharmaceuticals should be arrested for supplying such garbage medication. When I say garbage, that's being nice. The medication is completely worthless. It gives you an IMMEDIATE headache and has little or no active ingredient on the pain/opiate side. My next prescription fill will NOT be this medication. I will go to a smaller pharmacy if I have to. I absolutely refuse to take this crap. I'm on my second month of a sick stomach, headache, and no pain relief.

I thought there was something wrong with me, but I noticed variable pain relief month to month on the same oxycodone dosage. Some months I could actually take less that prescribed and others it seemed like so matter how much I took there was no identifiable relief. I also suffered from increased joint pain, insomnia, abdominal discomfort, and headaches -- this has happened several times over the last year.

I'm on pain management. I was recently switched to RHODES Oxycodone because that's all the pharmacy could get. I can't believe they can even sell this product. It does nothing for my pain, gives me severe headaches and actually makes my pain worse? I tried talking to my pm doctor and the pharmacy and theres nothing they can do till next month. I'm basically bed bound with ice packs for the next 3 weeks. Horrible manufacturer.

I have been on 15 mg oxycodone for 6 yrs. Little green thin pill, then a lighter version a little thicker. They worked. Degenerative disk, spinal stenosis, Achilles tendon tares in both ankles, from the top of my neck to the end of my spine pain and left side leg and arm. Even jaw. The pharmacy just changed manufacturer Rhodes. I have a blinding headache nausea regurgitation, dizzy, can't sleep. Forget the stomach. The relief is minimal. Short lived. Dear Rhodes, we did not attack your company. We have been attacked by a stigma as opiate users. We never went after Perdue. You helped us we could no longer function properly with our diseased bodies. The medication worked. But Rhodes, what you are making is now making some of us sick. This product you are sending to our pharmacies is horrible. How much more do we suffer for what addictive personalities did to your company We must pee in cups, every month, as old as we are. We are called opiod users, but the difference is we take our medication as prescribed. We don't abuse our life line. Rhodes please fix your product. For we with chronic pain need our proper meds. Just like people that need antidepressants, must I go on. They are addictive but people on these meds are not treated like criminals, the way we are. And being pushed and pulled not knowing if we can even get our medication due to shortages. On and on. Godspeed. Rhodes your horse pills why are they so big and hard. They are harder to digest, stuck in throat. When other opiod meds are easy to digest. And never did I have these side affects from other oxycodone 15 mgs. Read More Read Less
