Amneal Pharmaceuticals Hydrocodone 10-325 (Page 6) (Top voted first)

I have been taking hydrocodone 10-325 (made by Watson) for about a year. I picked up my prescription yesterday and instead of the normal yellow pill, I received a white oblong pill imprinted with m367 on it. I took 2 for breakthrough pain and had no relief what-so-ever. I called the pharmacy and was told that they will no longer be able to get the med from Watson. Does anyone know what has happened? I have chronic pain, and these white ones from Amneal Pharmaceuticals is not going to cut it. Has anyone else experienced this?

Absolutely it’s the medication. I was able to get a new scripts by reporting it to the doctor insurance company and pharmacy. I had the doctor give me a receipt as I gave him the meds. There’s too many people having these reactions the FDA will go out there if they receive enough complaints especially from the pharmacist. Feel better

You are so right! It's so messed up! I've had back pain for 20 years! It is documented! I'm not a druggy and don't like to be treated like one! I don't sell my medicine!! I take it as the dosage describes!

I'm experiencing the same problem. This Amneal is useless. It doesn't affect the pain whatsoever. It makes me so sleepy. I have also had chronic pain since 2006. My prescription was filled at Walgreen's.

I usually get Watson brand name. On the prescription it says Norco 10-325. Now Walgreen gave me Amneal hydrocodone/apap 10-325, IP110. The Amneals give me a belly ache all day long, whereas the Watsons did not. I wonder why? I have 2 herniated discs pressing on the Sciatic nerve and they won't operate. I'm tired of the stomach aches and I want the Watsons. They didn't give me the belly ache. Maybe the chronic back problem is worsening but it seemed the Watsons were better. I don't like the Amneals and it takes an extra half to weaken the stomach ache.

Re: Kimber (# 89)

One thing that needs to be considered is that there is a big push to make these opioid painkillers worse. In some cases you may get a little help from a sympathetic Doctor. The environment now is that all opioid patients are treated like addicts. A climate has been drummed into the heads of MOST Doctors is that if anyone tries to discuss the quality of pain meds then that makes you a "chaser" or other seeker of pain meds for no good reason. I have never seen a climate where a person could not express themselves about any aspect of their care regarding pain medications. Every mention of this topic is met with raised eyebrows and suspicion. I know there are some exceptions but they are truly in the minority. Many Doctors will not even write a prescription for any pain meds even in a "bridge" type situation. They have been brow beaten into believing anyone who discusses their pain meds and the lack of quality could only have ulterior motives. I hate to sound so negative but unfortunately this is where long term chronic pain med patients find themselves.

Yes Cy, whatever Anneal adds to their generics is making people sick and doesn’t even offset the pain

Hi folks, I also experienced the same problem with walgreens not using Watson but using Amneal, I was able to talk to my doctor and reach out to walgreens, who then gave me Watson in exchange for my unused amount of amneal. So they do have Watson... I was told that they had a backfill on Watson and couldn’t get it but when they could they did. So you can get Watson still , talk to your dr. And walgreens who will have to call insurance to get a Over ride on the new script , my dr . Did have to write on the new script not effective (reaction) please fill on **\**\ date ... hope this helps!

Re: Kimber (# 55)

Someone else suggested talking with your doctor & trading them out? I am going hollistic & natural herbs, supplements, vitamins, diet, a lot of work, but at least I am not in hospital, which amneal almost caused!!
I have ordered CBD oil, let you guys know it a week or so? Also I use turmeric root, ginger root, honey (if you can get pass the taste) LOL!! Per the honey!! I hope everyone takes action over this awful situation!! The more ppl the better results!!! Go through your state rep, governor, senator & definitely contact FDA!! As for me, I am in a lot of pain while I transition, but it will level out! I cleanse my body every 4/5 years or so!! I can see better, feel better, sharper response time to things in general! Wishing everyone the best! Hang in there! Remember always check with your doctor before starting, stopping, changing, your meds, supplements, otc, ect...

Ask the pharmacist to give you the name brand Aurobindo. They're also white oblong Norcos 10 / 325. The first time I got them they worked so well. The last batch I got from them we're like Tic Tacs. Maybe they're out of date but they work a lot better than all the other brands I've tried and I've tried all the brands & all the colors. Ask your Pharmacy if they could get that brand for you. The first time I got them it was like Vicodin ES before they discontinued those. The Watsons yellow or white do not work for me. And I am also in chronic pain. Please try this brand, maybe it'll work for you. I hope it does have a great evening.

Re: Lynn (# 100)

Yay!! We all need to do this! Call the FDA at 1-888-463-6332. If they make food companies list all the ingredients on the food they sell and list all the ingredients in supplements then they need to list ALL the ingredients in these crappy generics they push on us!! It's only right!! I want to know what is in this Amneal 10/325 garbage that makes me feel so bad without pain relief!!!

Re: Kimber (# 107)

While I completely agree with you that Amneal is literally poison (of some sort)... just thought I'd let you know that restless leg syndrome can be a common side effect with many sleep aids. I'm just saying that may not be directly related to amneal. Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) used to give me really bad RLS when I "tried" to use it as a sleep aid.
