Percocet

I was prescribed Percocet and I received the generic brand Oxycodone W/APAP 5/325
Two weeks later i had a kidney stone and was prescribed Percocet again. This time the generic name was Endocet 7.5/500

Why was it Oxycodone one time and Endocet the next time.

             Thank You,

Hippee,
I just wanted to make sure that you know I was quoting a post made by MrMichaels, I did NOT say that you must be having a bad day. YES YES ...a very sensitive board this is!....Its the whole topic of addiction being so personal to everyone, not to mention how emotional we all get during withdrawls.
Anyway- didn't want to have you thinking I said that.
Gosh this one little post has been far from simple.
Take care and have a great day Hippee!!!!

hey michael, i found nothing in your post that was
in any way wrong, your just brought good information
about duponts possibly being expired.
i posted  to new people,what caught my attention
was  oxic's  post where he said, and i quote
I SAW YET ANOTHER OF THOSE LUSCIOUS---------.
the word luscious means sweet or delicious.
thinking of  a certian kind of percs being more
delicious then another brand, it just seem s
to be the wrong message to new people.
I take no offense, i can even relate to it.
i just thought it was  a good idea for  a mention to people trying to quit  them and or
stay clean  to focus on a different topic.
no one did or said anything  wrong,  i did not understand r banks telling you to lighten up, it did not make sense.
but when i here that certian percs are delicious or lusious
i get  a little phansty going in my head, and that is relaps
to a certian extent. its glorifing a certian drug.

If you look at the first post MrMichael sent me out of the blue- you will understand my response (I had not posted to him previously-I posted to Shadee).
here:
"Didn't know I struck a nerve with you. You must be having a bad day to let something so trivial bother you. I happen to know him somewhat and I wasn't starting anything with him. Percs, does Canada have its own Dupont company that only serves Canada? I honestly thought Percocet is a brand name that can't be used by more than one company. Kind of like me opening up my own Pepsi plant."

sorry robyn, i meant not harm, i understand  now.
i did say in my post that no one said anything wrong.
i know michael was under the impression , i thought he said something wrong. i was trying to clear it up.
i don't relish in explaining myself,  as i said in my post
i relate to what oxic and percs said, i am also guilty
of doing what i said we should try to avoid, that being -  
makeing certian drugs look attractive.
i was not having a bad day, i was just posting to new people in the 1st post and in the 2nd post  , i was letting mr. michael know  my  1st post had nothing to do with his postings.
normly i do not defend myself , but i have  to much respect for
you and mr michael, oxic and percs. so i hope you all
will accept my apologies..
ps. sometimes it is good to reread what we wrote, because it does
not always come out like we wanted it to.
we sure are a sensitive lot.
peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hippy

Type that or "normeperedine" and you will see what we mean.  Demerol is about half as effective if taken orally vs IV.  IV is supposed to give one nice feeling, but you don't want to try and find out orally.  I would imagine it would give a buzz, but it is dangerous.  I can have this girl email you if you would like and she can tell you about what happened to her.  If it is taken exactly as directed and for a minimal time, it should be fine.  But, your question leads me to believe you may over do it.  If you would like, give me an email address I can have her send to.  I wasn't bs-ing.  There are docs out there who still do prescribe it, but it is much less prescribed than it used to be.  Can you take some benedryl with the percs for the itching?  The itching is a histamine reaction.  Get an anti-histamine like benedryl.

Wonderful feeling? Well if you consider cardiac arrhythmias, seizures, kidney failure and **** load of other ills to feel good then go for it. But you might want to go to Google or Yahoo and type Demerol side effects and then decide.
