Re: Jenzbme (# 97) 
Your not crazy I am 58 yrs old an i feel for the ones they changed from yellow to ou3 because there is a difference my pharmacist handles both of them but my insurancewon't pay for nothing but the cheapest one but my doctor got them to change mine back to the yellow ones no take 6 a day an I'd had to get it cleared with my doctor while I was taking the ou3 to take one an a half until I got my next prescriptionchanged to the yellow that is a scam them giving the ou3 to anyone ! It don't have the same amount of hydrocodone as the yellow it should be out lawed for them to give them out !

I have taken several pain pills for years including hydros 367 and U03 and they work great no pain no nothing '. Maybe they work on certain people and we have different reactions

I don't understand why the u30 make you feel so diffeent. I have taken 2 today of the 4 I'm prescribed daily I usually have a normal energy level. I have three kids and I I'm a hairdresser and I'm completely functional but today I'm itching uncontrollably and I keep feeling like I'm just going to fall asleep. I called the doctor's office and they said to contact the pharmacy. I don't understand why if it's the same medication this is happening. They said they are out of the other brand right now but I cannot continue to take this. Any advice?

Will repost this info ....... if you have found a medication that works for you at the bottom of the label to the right of the strength there is a manufacteror code .... look on the bottle the med that worked came in and call the pharmacy and ask them what those letters mean ....then when you drop any scripts confirm the manufacteror b4 you leave when you pick up your script inspect that they are the correct ones .... its not rocket science

I take them for chronic pain. No insurance so it sucks. I tried almost every pharmacy in my town. Last filled prescription I got the yellow ones at HEB. $85 out of pocket and they do not work. I've had white ones that worked better. Im so sick of it. I need something that works. We are screwed by the pharmaceutical companies.

I usually take the yellow norcos, however, was out of town and got them filled at another pharmacy. I was given an oval white kind imprint U03. My complaint is, these make me feel loopy, which I don't like. I am wondering if anyone has had this problem?

They told me the yellow has less coating on them so they effect you quicker an the white has a thicker coating so it takes longer for them to do there job

You can thank your fda for putting a 20% variable on generics... The fda needs to step up and accept their part in the opioid issue (it is not an epidemic... Epidemics are diseases, opioids are a drug). That variance can be a major issue on higher generic opioids. If you are scripted 60mg & your pharmacy has been getting them at the 48mg level then changes suppliers and now gets them at the 72mg level and you usually took a double dose in morning because you were not actually getting the scripted dose, you just went from 96mg to 144 mg. That is a major change for an individual just trying to get through the day.... Now lets say you are an abuser of the meds and instead of 2 you take 10 --- now you went from 480mg to 720mg and the fda just killed you... That may be a bit extreme but the theory is sound.

After being lied to by the pharmacy for years I did my own investigation and there are cheap crap pills and ones a little better but just like your food products, there's a big difference in generic and name brand. If generic is the same why don't we have generic gas for our cars? Because they wouldn't run that's why. It's all in the name of their bottom line. I told my doctor after 5 years of playing the games with the hydrocodone wars that I wanted something else that will work for the pain, he put me on 15my Oxycodones. A tiny pill with just medication none of the dangerous Tylenol in it and I don't take as many now. They work great. I don't even shop for anything at Walgreens anymore after almost pulling the pharmacist over the counter for giving me the cheapest crap they can find to sell. Those of you that think there is a difference in the meds...you're right, there is. Don't let those money hungry fools lie to you anymore. I have a pharmacy in the small town I live in that only carry generics no name brand. If your on heart medication they have you take two generics to one name brand, why is that you suppose. I don't buy generic food because if you open a can of green giant peas and a can of red white and blue peas you can see and taste the difference. I think until we stand up and start creating a problem like I do they will just keep screwing us because we hurt and they want to make maximum profits off of us. Its a shame what our government allows to happen to us. I hope they clean out the whole white house and start over with people that know the difference in right and being a p.o.s. to people that are sick and hurt. And to the pharmacists that hear everyday that those pills don't work compared to the other ones that did - don't be retarded, the whole country isn't that stupid, why do you have to be?
