Diazepam - Watson. 10mg C/dc - 100 Tablets
(Newest replies first)

I recently filled my prescription. It all looks the same including the pills, however the pills themselves have a fairly strong odor, taste EXTREMELY bitter and leave a bitter taste in your mouth for a long time after swallowing. Pills are light blue, well pressed and have a score down the middle of C/DC. They have no colour difference on the inside and outside and they all appear identical. When dropped in water they stayed buoyant until submerged. They do not dissolve if left but begin to crack very slowly. Shaking them in water does not cause them to dissolve but they do fall apart. SWIM has found that they still have some effect on him when ingested however he is unsure whether the effect is the same as when he has consumed 100% legitimate Diazepam. Also the following day SWIMs stomach has felt uneasy (although this could be attributed to mixing with other substances). The Front of the label reads: NDC 0591-5620-01 Diazepam IV Tablets USP 10 mg C/DC Watson. 100 Tablets Rx only The side reads: Each tablet contains Diazepam USP. 10mg Dosage: See packages insert for dosage and full prescribing information. Dispense in a tight, light-resistant container with child-resistant closure. Store at 20 -25°C (68 -77°F). (See USP controlled room temperature.) Manufactured By: Watson Laboratories, Inc. Corona, CA 92880 USA 173057 Distributed By: Watson Pharma, Inc. The Bar Code side reads: 3 05915 6 LOT NO. 07565 EXP 04/2017 And finally the underside has two symbols side by side (one of them is a recycling symbol) and beneath: 1898/9 SWIM has no idea what these tablets contain but that was the full information he has about them. Please use this as a reference if evaluating the same brand, cross-reference your barcodes, expiration dates, etc. with those provided in a effort to learn more about what you are consuming.

Hi I just filled these in a sealed bottle of 100. All details the same except there is no expiry date. Wondering if they are safe and genuine?

Re: Tim (# 22)

Tim, Hi again - now I forgot to add that my initial side effects may have just been from the switchover, or even just a coincidence and something else entirely! Also, pills had the same markings but bottle said Mayne as manufacturer, not Watson - probably another buyout. And I may have actually got your message sooner, but the first response sent me a different thread in error. Take care.

Re: Tim (# 22)

Tim, thank you very much for your response. I didn't see these until today - maybe there is a time lag with the system. I am also in the USA. I decided to go back to Mylan because I responded pretty well initially and the others were making me clench my teeth. I'll just hope for the best for this month, I guess. You are definitely right that we all respond differently. I had the exact issue as yours with a med from another company. I'd been taking it for years and suddenly it completely changed. Went through the whole same process and got the same results. They never own up to what they are doing and don't care at all about how it affects the patients! Thanks again.

Re: April (# 20)

Oops, hello again April. BTW I wanted to be clear on two things. 1-I’m in the USA and 2-each one of us can respond differently to any medication. What works well for one might be totally ineffective for another. Good luck and stay well

Re: April (# 20)

Sorry for the delay. For the generic Valium (diazepam), the Mylan generic was worthless! It was so ineffective that I called the company and they referred me to their Q.C. department. They played 20 questions with me and told me that they would investigate my complaint (and contact my pharmacy for the lot number to analyze). It was all Mylan BS. They even sent me a syrupy follow up letter to thank me for my inquiry. Yep, they did as much as their pills do...nothing! Two things I can very honestly say is that Mylan diazepam is worthless (totally ineffective) for me and Other People I know who use this medication. And Watson has always and still does work well for me. BTW, I’ve been using diazepam daily for years and have had all the generic brands (really) and never had any side effects from the drug... I sure hope this helps. Finally, for anyone else reading this-it is an FDA law that each pharmaceutical company identify their pills with their unique I.D. There is only 1 correct I.D. for each pharmaceutical product.

Re: Tim (# 19)


I recently switched from a different benzo to exactly what you have, but mine says the manufacturer is now Mayne pharmaceuticals, which I've read are from India. I had only been taking for two weeks and the pharmacy switched me from Mylan, which I thought was working well. I had side effects, but now I have different side effects, so I don't know if they are the from the med itself or this generic. In several days, I have the option to refill with my choice of the two brands. I thought Mylan worked better, but I don't know if that was just because it was new to me...I've read bad things about them too. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Re: Ridgerunner007 (# 16)

I always (including today’s three month refill) get Watson 10mg diazepam. I’ve had them all but only the Watson brand works for me. They have always been consistent and fresh lot number. This is ordered from the pharmacy at Walmart. Look up pictures of blue 10mg. DAN 5620 scores tab. From USA

Re: Swim (# 2)

Why are you using the name SWIM..
Someone who isn’t me? It’s really stupid, are you afraid the DEA are coming after you because you are asking about Diazepam??

Beginning in late 2011, all of 2012 and all of 2013, the UK was flooded with fake Actavis Diazepam tablets, in blister packs, I was a victim of over this time frame of at least 20 boxes X 28 tabs of 10 mg light blue diazepam, from
a pharmacy with a 13 digit tracking number, and, some of the batches were DC 266 and with expiration date good three years out of a pharmacy (mfg date 09/2011 exp 09/2014). I will only state located around Skelmersdale in the UK. All boxes each had inserts that look very real, in English, Actavis, Barnstaple EX328NS UK Date of Revision August 2010. More recently, a vast amount of fakes were still proliferating throughout UK during the year 2015 & 2016 with Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) testing, but, the ingredients range from harmless buffers to so called designer benzodiazepines, but not the real thing, like original late Leo Sternback of Roche discovery in 1963 of pure diazepam! Some were Actavis, some were still imports, from before 2015. Wales chemists no longer test products outside the UK, as of the past two yrs. IOP's that participated in past fake Actavis and fake Roche Rivotril are all out of business; all, formerly with branch offices out of the UK in 2011, 2012, 2013 2014, and a brief restart/stop late 2015, early 2016, out of business (again).

Trust me folks, I'm a 53yr old scottish benzo connoisseur. I've been prescribed diazepam/temazepam since I was very young. What you guys have was going around lanarkshire/glasgow last year. The chappie shouting that they contain 8 somethin' milligrams is talking s***, sorry troops.
