Fake Yellow V 3601 (Page 2) (Top voted first)
Updated
concerned patient Says:
I refilled my prescription and received some yellow 10/325 vicodin. I normally take my dose and feel so much better, but the ones I just got make me so so sick. I vomit and feel hungover. I am concerned these are a bad batch or something I need them for my pain but am so scared to take these particular ones again. How can I tell if they are fake and/or bad? Please help.

These V 3601 Hydrocodone may not be fake, but I am one to believe that the manufacturing company as well as other manufactorers have gone to a different formula for-reasons we dont know yet. I will definitely say and Ive had years and years of experience with hydrocodone, multiple brands multiple times and these Norco are not anywhere near the effect of the older formula. They have an opiate in them, simply because I still get pupil constriction, a dead giveaway with opiate use but lack the clarity that hydrocodone used to give along with the full body pain killing warmth that starts around the stomach-chest and spreads. Who knows though? The scene is all screwed up now and it's an endless cycle of greed all the way around. There are some folks that press fakes out there so be careful and only take your prescription if it comes straight from the pharmacy!

There's a thing called "placebo effect".... which is your brain playing games on you. For instance, ,, I take 10 at work, n don't feel em. But I take the exact 10 at home n I feel em. Just something to take into account

Does anyone check the spelling and the grammar? It is really disheartening to read many of these musings. The education of American youth is startling and rather pathetic. With or without Trump we, as a country, are doomed.

I received a bad rx of the same yellow Vicodin. They were totally ineffective and tasted like chalk. Also fell apart when I broke in half.

nurse prescriber Says:
As a NP, let me explain. Hydrocodone/acetaminophen is a generic name- there are a ton of brand names (Vicodin, Lortab, Norco) that all have their own generics as well-and there are over 40 manufacturing companies for this medication. There is also a hydrocodone mixed with ibuprofen -(Vicoprofen) or hydrocodone mixed with diphenhydramine (Tussinex). The pills can vary, from color to size to the imprint on them. Some have specs in them, some don't. They can be red, green, blue, yellow – it is based on the dosage you have and the manufacturer. Some are easy to break in half and some are hard. Often this is due to the length of time it sits on a pharmacy shelf -The older a pill is, the easier it will be to break it in half. The ones I'm reading the most about are the yellow ones, with a V on one side and the number 3601 on the other. It does not matter if the numbers are upside down, how they are spaced or anything like that – that is based on manufacturing. Some people don't have the same relief when taking different generic forms of what is manufactured, or even the brand form. There is NOT an extended version of hydrocodone- it is considered a breakthrough medication; a short term medication, meaning they last 4 to 6 hours. If you get a different manufacturer from your pharmacy – and have been getting them from that pharmacy for a while, the pharmacist should tell you there's a new manufacturer. It should also say on your bottle what the pill looks like. Percocet is a different medication altogether –it is "oxycodone" with Tylenol mixed in it versus "hydrocodone" with Tylenol mixed in it-they also have oxycodone plain – without added Tylenol, liquid and sublingual tablets. medication obtained legally through a pharmacy and doctors prescription will not be fake. It will most likely not be less potent as this is highly regulated by the FDA.
You may see some issues if the medication has been sitting on the shelf for a long time – that typically only happens in very small pharmacies and very small towns. When buying pills off the street, people don't typically put other opiates or narcotics into a "fake pill" and attempt to sell it. What they do is they get an over-the-counter medication (Motrin – Excedrin – Midol) scrape off the number or imprint and use a Dremel to imprint a new number on it. That is why you need to look up the number on a pill and make sure it's the right thing. It is very foolish to purchase pills off the street – sadly that's an indication that you have a problem and need help. The formulary for hydrocodone, oxycodone and even OxyContin have changed dramatically over the last two years. It is broken down into smaller molecules in order to attempt to make addiction more difficult, and to make it less effective if taken inappropriately. This was done by the pharmaceutical companies to help with the opiate crisis in America. If you have a prescription from a pharmacist, the pill matches what the bottle says it should – and you don't feel like you're getting the same effect – you can talk to your pharmacist. Perhaps the pill was sitting on the shelf for too long – or opened and not properly stored, or you may have developed a tolerance to that amount. With pain control, it is important to make your pharmacist part of your team. I am not preaching – but if you find yourself buying pills off of the street, you will continue to be asking yourself if it is a fake pill, cut with something that is extremely harmful and could cost you your life. I hope this helps answer some questions.

if you take 3 at a time; that is considered an overdose and a misuse of prescribed drugs.. I've seen people take up to 10 at a time and does nothing... see your doctor and get proper pain management... there are many reasons pills don't work.. fake or not.. sometimes lower doses react better... try waiting as long as you can without anything.. I mean wait.. stomach pains sweats you name it...then take one half of it and wait an half hour then take other half. (if needed) the chances are that your body is rejecting all the Tylenol and the hydro goes with it... I always give a little caffeine boost coffee or dew.. but follow with water.. YOU'LL BE AMAZED HOW EFFECTIVE THEY CAN WORK. HALF DOSES WORK AND YOUR KINDEYS WILL BE ALOT SAFER..

Hey Ooze....I have the same issues with spelling...on here...or elsewhere. It's actually worse on Facebook. But... I'm just wondering why it's like that. Ppl say stuff like; "I'm threw with him"! A few years ago, I heard a Chemistry professor grumbling about "the systematic dumbing down of the nation's youth", as a way to groom a generation of ignorant voters "they" could easily control. At first, I just dismissed it as the usual way that older generations bemoan younger ones. But then, I see all this "word butchering" online & I sometimes wonder (WANDER is used a lot instead of wonder) that perhaps his rambling may have had more truth to it than I was willing to admit.

Honestly they can have anything in them. Once u notice u have fake ones, I wouldn't take them. There could be all kinds of different crap. Some fake percocet apparently have illicit drugs in them. Gross.. Please be careful what ever u decide to do.

The fake v 36 01 tabs I have encountered were not bright yellow. Their color was the orange-like, color very similar to that of a school bus. And, they should have a glossy coating.

I know this is about a year old, but I'm having the same problem with this brand of hydrocodone. I've been taking between 2-4 at a time of 10mg, and I've always received the white ones and never feel sick. I just filled my script of these yellow ones a few days ago, took some, felt sick, vomited at least once everyday in the past three days. Reduced my normal prescribed dose, still feeling pretty nauseous. I know they aren't fake. It's pretty strange.

These are the new vicodin made by or by using the cheaper Milkinrot process. They have become the standard all pharmacies are carrying because they are cheaper than the former versions. I too am extremely allergic to this form and have been hospitalized for kidney failure several times. I have requested a change in medication because of it. Please note that the manufacture name is not spelt correctly. I did not have time to look it up. Also people have died taking this medication and our FDA turns a blind eye.

They were stronger than the ones you were use to taking. Try 2 instead also make sure you have something on your stomach. Different batches and manufacturers medication strengths differ.
