Generic Brands Of Hydrocodone Are No Good (Top voted first)

Updated

My doctor has approved the name brand for generic Hydrocodone, but I cannot find a pharmacy that will even try to get a brand other than Mallinckrodt, Lupin, or Amneal; the generic brands that are sent to them. I was doing great when Watson had the yellow oblong 10/325 and am at my wits' end. I am in bad pain every day of my life. I don’t know how much longer I can take this pain. Not everyone with chronic pain is just a drug addict but we are all treated that way. Got to change soon or I can’t live this way.

Have you tried any alternative opiates, since you can't find one of these that works for you?

Some other choices are Hydromorphone, Oxycodone, Morphine, and Demerol.

The FDA warns that they all carry the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

Ref: Opioid Basics

As to getting the name brand of Hydrocdodone/Acetaminophen, in order for a pharmacy to accommodate that, your doctor has to write "brand medically necessary", or the equivalent in your area, on the prescription.

So sorry to hear that, but I'm not surprised. Unfortunately ever since 2017-18' it's been nothing but garbage generic's trust me been there done that. The only thing that works for me is the mallencraut oxycodone 15's and 30's but good luck unless you go to a pain specialist and even then my new pain Dr is telling me I'm lucky I'm still on that. .New paintents are not getting those through him is exactly what he said. And I told him I've been going thru this for a LONG TIME and I know what does and doesn't work for my body.ibe littilery tried everything generic new old meds and the only 3 that work for me is what I described before and oxymorphone Er but the 30mg ONLY forthe 40's to but he'll never write for that. It's just a shame cause knowing dam well if it was his mother or loved one theye'd write whatever it would take to make him or her feel better so their hypocrite's.
Are u at a pain specialist now if not id go to one and avoid the buracacy. Keep us informed please n thanks. Is there a Publix where your located? Their good about special orders

If a chain pharmacy won’t try a mom and pop type they may. Also I have found Wallgreens will special order if their distributor offers it. If they don’t rite aid or CVS uses a different distributor than wallgreens and walmart use so they may be able to.
