I just got generic oxy by Mallinkrt Pharm for the first time and I actually took it into my doctor today because I told him for some reason it wasn't working all of a sudden.   He told me it was because my insurance company replaced my rx with the "generic"  version of oxy this time.  He said he's had similar complaints from other patients.  I thought it was just me.  Did you have problems as well?

I've had the same experience- mallinkrt oxycontin is much less (?50%) effective than brand name. It's frustrating to receive a response from the MD that it is me, not the rx. A patient who has used a rx consistently for more than a year should be considered a reliable source. There should be a method for patients to report problems like this, so they can be identified and validated.

I have found that Mallinkrt works well for me.  Once when I tried some oxycodone from another manufacturer, it had a filler which made me sick.  Suggest you check to see who makes the one that works for you and insist on it each time--read the label.  If your druggist doesn't have it, call around.  It worked for me.  I had to throw out a whole prescription, but now I know what to look for.  Good luck.
