Ok, I was taking brand name percocet for the longest time with no squawks
from my insurance as long as I paid the extra premium. Now, they are saying
they won't cover it unless there are issues with generic. So, I have been
taking the Watson brand generic oxycodone 10/325 for BT pain.

I have noticed that after about half an hour I get these headaches in my
temples. They don't just gradually come on. It's like one second I'm fine
and the next BAM! Level 6-7 headache. I really hate to take the oxycodone
and then have to take tylenol or the like for the headache. Kinda defeats
the purpose.

Anyone else experience headaches when taking percocet? Generic in
particular. I was told by my PM that it is unusual considering that
percocet has tylenol in it. But that I should ask the pharmacy if they have
a different brand of generic(sounds weird saying that).

It is beyond unusual, it is downright weird. I you 100% sure you were
getting so-called brand-name Percocet? It has been on the US Market
since around 1939, and was developed in Germany in 1916. I doubt
highly any of the original patent holders are still alive. let alone
the patent enforce.

Check the Pill Wizard @ http://www.drugs.com/percocet-images.html and
see if you can identify whom the manufacture/distributor for your
first current & previous is.
