Aplenzin became available in April, 2009. I seem to be one of the few people who take it, so I decided to capture a photo and post it in the contrib section. Here's what it looks like:

The first post in this thread says Malli will make generic OC thru the end of 2009. I thought they had to stop at the end of 2008. Anyone know what it is for sure?

Need feedback on effectiveness of this generic pill

I have always requested Name brand on my pain pill due to some generic are not really affective.  Well,,, I have recently changed to a generic oxycodone 10/325 (watson brand) and there was not much difference from the name brand.  Today I got my refill and they gave me a new pill and I'm not familiar with this manufacturer and was wondering if any body could give me some feed back on this medication because if this pill is not affective then before I take one I will go back and get prescription and take it to another pharmacy that has the watson generic since I'm familiar with this one.    The pill is Mylan oxycodone 10/325 , Pill is white round and 106 is printed on it...... any feed back will help.  Thank you!

price hikes on oxy 30 mg

hi i'm not sure if i'm doing this right but i read some of your concern and comments.  me and my husband both tke oxy 30 mg he's had neck, shoulder hand, and knee surgeries and i have had back surgery of course it didn't work and we've been on some kind of pain medication for over 15 years.  we went to a doctor and perscribed oxy 30 mg and it seems to work pretty good we have good days and bad ones.  we both work construction so we are always on the move.  we haven't had any problem filling our perscription until this month.  which we still got it filled at the same place we always do.  the only thing that floored us was that we've been paying 1.00 per pill until today when the pharmactist told us that his supplier went up i was figuring a couple of buck to the total but NO they went up to 4.05 per pill of course as you probably guesssed got them filled cause everyone knows that if you don't take it get ready to feel like your whole world just sit on top you.  what makes me so mad is that people like us and you need them to get rid of the pain you feel everyday cause we all thought we were invisable when we were younger and now paying the price,  but the people out there that some how get them from a doctor and not a thing wrong with them.  they just want to get high.  so those many people have ruined it for the rest of us that are in pain.  hopefully it will get better never say it won't.  thank you for being patient woth me and sorry for babbling on!

Lunesta to Ambien

I am taking three medications from which my psychiatrist prescribes, Lunesta, Klonopin, and Lexapro.  Lunesta and Lexapro are unavailable in generic so until I reach my deductable i pay about 280 dollars for these three only per month not including my oxycontin which is about 140.  I got him to switch the lexapro to a similar generic product although I am not sure what the name of it is. I think it starts with a C for depression/anxiety.  Lunesta is 120 dollars for 30 3mg pills.  That is so much money.  The the similar dosage of ambien generic it is 15 dollars for me or less.  For some reason my psychiatrist will not prescribe me ambien.  The pharmacist was out of lunesta 3mg so he said he would call my doctor today and try to persuade him into prescriping me generic ambien which would save me 100 dollars a month.  Why would my doctor not what to help me out and save me 100 dollars per month.  I have tried ambien before because my mom takes it like once a week and it worked great.  However i like lunesta a lot as well it just costs 10 times more right now.
