I have pain all the time and a change to generic made it worse

Hi there ...  Not sure if this will work as am not sure I am a member but will join after posting.
I also am finding a huge difference and so is my husband  We both suffer with pain ...  (guessing reasons don't matter?)  and we were recently changed from :
Ratio-Oxycocet --Oxycodone HCL/ACET A5/325--WHT/RND/TEC {1}
TO THIS:
Sandoz-Oxycodone Acetami 5/325mg--
Oxycodone HCL/Aceta5/325
Wht-Off/Rnd/325
We didnt realize the pills had changed but wondered why they are not working!!  Something is different....  So we looked at our pills closer to find they are not the same....  Can someone tell me why they are not working the same? I would rather go back to my Doctor with some kind of knowledge as is getting so hard to get appointments   ...We are not rich people but would rather pay more rather than suffer...Seems to come down to quality of life.   HELP???

Although I havn't received help on my question from this forum  I have what might be the answer!!!     Called the Drug Store/Pharmacy and found out there have been many complaints about this change in prescription....  It was actually given out....apparently.... because they ran out of the other......  Why didn't they tell us they didn't have the same pill and give us the choice of perhaps another Pharmacy might have it??  Why didn't they check themselves for the proper prescription?   I have many questions now and from now on will ask for NO Generic Brands even though it may cost more    ...Why take a med and put it into your body if it dosn't help...?   I won't!!!  A wee bit peeved off here in Canada Ontario and will be following up on this issue!!
