Difficulty To Get Generic Form Of Percocets For Fibromyalgia Pain. Suggest Other Medicines Which Is Suitable
I have a friend that takes percocets for fibromyalgia pain, however only one generic form seems to work for her without side effects. That brand is from Watson, but lately it seems nearly impossible to find in our area. She is reluctant to inquire for fear the pharmacy personnel will treat her with suspicion. How would you suggest she try to resolve the problem of getting what works for her?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
Watson company has changed its name to ACTAVIS. So she can buy this medicine from Actavis company. Though i would advise her that now there are better medicines available for Fibromyalgia. She should see a Doctor who can help her in gradually withdraw Percocets and put on other medicines which are safer, non addictive and very effective .
Hope you got your answer.
