Ok, I have received a small orange/yellow round, pill with flat edges that reads "Ex" on one side, and "40" on the other.
I believe this to be OxyContin 40mgs from my research, just need a backup ID.
For the second pil, it is also a small rounded pill with flat edges, same size as the one above, with an "R" and either a "2" or a "Z" on the back.. I think it's a two though.
I believe this to be Rohypnol 2mgs from my research, just need a backup ID.
The third and final pill is a bit tougher, it is an oblong, somewhat rectangular light blue pill, with two rounded sides, it has a simple score on one side, and on the other is completely blank.
Thanks to all who can help.
Here is a picture of them, sorry about the quality, it's with a phone, best I can manage.

Three Pill IDs
#1: EX40 is correct - it's 40 mg OxyContin (oxycodone extended release). We have a poster image from the DEA showing the EX OxyContins:

The EX pills have been discontinued. They were exported by Purdue to Mexico. A few years ago a large warehouse was robbed (if I remember correctly), and Purdue stopped exporting OxyContin to Mexico at that time. So your pills are probably quite old.
#2: I'm not familiar with this imprint and it will probably be difficult to find. We have three images of flunitrazepam in the Foreign Gallery. Search for flunitrazepam and you will find two German generics (both without imprints) and the restyled Rohypnol - all images courtesy of chemik. We don't have an image of the original Roche Rohypnol, but I do know it was a white round pill that was quadrisected (+ score). It probably had 'Roche" imprinted on the face of the tablet. I'll search the internet for an 'old-style' Roofie later.
#3: It's not possible to identify a tablet with no imprint. You might look through the foreign gallery and see if you can find anything similar. But, even if you do, there's no way to be sure. Sorry.

Original Rohypnol Image
Start with the best pill identification experts (besides us, of course!), and you'll probably find what you need!
Here is an image of the 1 mg original Roche Rohypnol tablet with text describing the 2 mg:

That is not my pill, but
That is not my pill, but thank you for your efforts, the oxycodone's potency has been affected somewhat, but it's still doing it's job helping relieve my pain.
I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to help me. I will keep searching for these blue pills, I am fairly certain this pill is indeed a roofie, but this blue pill is buggin me, maybe valium or xanax methinks.
These come from Argentina.

Argentina
Okay, thanks for the country of origin.

Yes, I understand that R2 is not the original Rohypnol. You mentioned you thought it is Rohypnol, so all I was trying to do is prove your pill is not the brand name. But your pill very well could be a generic legally sold in many countries but not the US.
Does the R have any unusual features? Does it look different than a typed uppercase 'R' like this font? We'll do all we can, but foreign meds are not very well documented unless they are big brand name meds.

Thanks
The 'R' is very nondescript. Absolutely nothing that would help pinpoint the manufacturer.
Maybe one of our other pill ID experts will have more info and can identify the company that uses that particular 'R'.

viagra...
i kindof assumed that is what it was-although most likely a foreign one, not pfizers- as this is one of the most commonly recognizable pills. it is right up there w/ the original V cuts of K cuts as far as recognizable.
sorry to hear about that!

After re-evaluating the
After re-evaluating the situation (that is waking up not quite remembering what happened), I believe the "R" "2" pill to have, indeed, been rohypnol, I took one half of the suspected 2mg pill , and felt no effects after 45 minutes, then decided to take the other half to see if it would have helped alleviate my problems, next thing I know.. i'm typing here. :)

Just a thought
Why take something when you are not sure of what it is?

Oxycontin "EX" are still available
It should be noted that the comment about Oxycontins marked "EX" is incorrect.
The Oxycontins marked "EX" are still available from Argentina as well as other Southern sources.
Location?
