    I usually get the 30mg blue A/215 oxycodone or the white ethex brand oxycodone. Are the name brand xanodyne roxicodone tabs any better than their generic equivalent? The generic are $10.00 for 150 30's but the name brand are $35.00. Is their any big difference between the pills like their is with the name brand oxycontin and it's generic equivalent? thanks

    I think that it is like any other pill. Some people say the brand name are better and that may be but it' still the same amount of the same drug. 5mg brand name perocet and a 512 are both 5mg oxcodone pills. The same goes for all the oxycontin's too, but they put that gel filler in them so we can't snort them. Wait for someone else like U4ia who knows alot about this kind of thing to reply.

    I think roxys are instant release and contins are time release. Am I correct?

    Well I guess no matter what 30mg pill I get they'll have no APAP, which is a big plus. :)

    The Ethex ones are pure crap. You can't even give those away around here, let alone try to sell them. They are significantly weaker. I am prescribed to Roxicodone, I take them every single day, and I could def. tell the difference.

    The name-brand are decent, but they aren't any better then the M30's or the V's (Qualitest) IMO.

    ^As strange as it sounds this is true, like U4ia said they are significantly weaker. They're still marketed as equivalent IR, but at the same time as someone who has seen/used both I can say the Roxicodone is stronger, similar to the way OC is wayyy better and more effective than Purdue's (IMO).

    Yeah, those are generic Roxicodone, 30mg, they are actually light blue and made by Mallinckrodt. The light green ones have an M and say 15, and they are the 15mg version of Roxicodone made by Mallinckrodt.

    These are the brand that I usually get.

    The white and yellow ones that say ETH on them are the shitty shitty Ethex ones, that nobody will buy. The pharmacies here won't even stock them anymore because everybody asks for "the blue ones."

    The other Roxicodone brands are Qualitest, (They have a V on them, and they are darker blue) and the Xanodyne (These are the name brand, all others are the generics) and the Amide/Actavis.
