Bold textThe effectiveness from generics, have been terrible. The new generic form called footballs, you might as well not take them. I have been given them for my oxy 80mg, which were a generic form the Watson, form from Perdue. The Teva form take at least two hours to start working as a pain reliever. They don't hold the pain for more then six hours, and it is just plain awful for me, being I have a very bad stage of arthritis, and a knee replacement that hasn't healed since six months ago. I have heard talk about the name brand coming back, and the others are not being made anymore, and as soon as these low grade generics are gone, it will only be name brand. I am so looking forward to not having to take extra before it is time for my next dose. Has anyone else ever heard about this yet?

As for knocking this drug down, I have been use to that, and personally I don't care what anyone thinks. I have been on different doses at different times depending on the problem that arises, when reguired to have relief. I am on 80mg now, and 30 mg of morphine for breakthrough, because the oxy ir generics were useless after two hours, and just had to keep taking more. For now the morphine ir, is working fine, and is helping out the low grade oxy by Teva. I have heard all kinds of kick downs about this medication. I have taken since 1996. I would be in a wheel chair by now if it wasn't for this medication. I dread the day I hear they have been taken away. As for feeling better? Well consider it euphoria, I could care less. I feel better on my meds,(not to much right now while on the low grade), but while the breakthrough is helping I am waiting to see how long us pain management folks on these meds, and how much longer the wait will be. I have never abused them, and feel that folks like me are going to pay the price for idiots that cause problems, by the abuses and illlegal sales. No one seems to have any information on all the other schedule drugs out there that are abused. Anyone knows that there are many out there that have terrible abuses going on. Some are not even a schedule drug. Lets all hope that we have more luck now. Hope all you out there in my shoes feel the same.
