Qualitest Hydrocodone 10 325 (Page 3)

Although many have said one drug is the same as the other I find that Qualitest hydrocodone 10/325 seems to not affect me as far as making me drowsy and extremely tired. It does so help with the pain but it does not make me so I can not function. The other manufacturer Mallincor (spelling not right) their hydrocodone makes me so tired I have to literally go to bed. Strange I think that if two drugs are identical how can they have different effects to you. I prefer to not take any hydrocodone but until I am through this pain I prefer to take the one that does not comatose me.

sa5150- Thank you, that's what I wanted to know, and I agree with you about the mystery "fake" pills. What he's saying just doesn't make sense, and "waiting to hear back from Qualitest"? C'mon man.. I hope he can hold his breath for a while...

I just got 120 hydros 10mg count prescription and Walmart ended up giving me 20 in one bottle and 100 in the Qaulitest manufacturers actual bottle (exp 12/2017).

I have has some left over from late October , The only thing I noticed was a stronger rubbing alcohol smell to the new ones where the old one hardly smell at all . The water crest over the V is smaller on the new ones where the old ones it was a oval shape that took up most of the pill . You can only notice the watermark under a light bulb .They break the same , No different . I have not tried one yet , Not going for a while . No pain right now and not messing around with this drug . I can easly say now that I was taking the yellow Qualitest I would never ever go back to the white Watson/Activis . Those things made me crazy and sleepless .I sure hope there is not change with the new bottle .

On a bad note Qualitest does not ship out Zolpidem anymore . 5 different pharmacies told me they can't get it anymore . So it can't be ordered either . The only other one I would get is Sandoz and that is getting harder to now . (I think they had a shortage)

This new batch of Qualitest looks and feels 99.9% the same as the other yellow one from 6 months ago (the only main thing I notice is the new ones smell strong) are not as strong . I have waited a hour now and have to take another one , That's 20mg to notice any pain relief . I'm not sure what's on , I did just eat 1/2 before I took my first one . Does high fat fast food affect this type of pill ? I know if I eat Ambien won't do anything for me ,But Hydros I usually can eat and still feel pain relief from my neck problems . I would have to wait at least another 3 -6 months before I can get another RX . I had the option to get Activis white 10mg but passed as they make me feel crazy high . Real Vicodin way back would make me go to sleep , What has changed to make them so speedy ?

the 20mg seem to have kicked my butt , Maybe I should have waited little longer before talking a second pill . They work .

I have never tested positive for opiates while on norco. Been on it for years, even passed a hair follicle test. She told me hydrocodone doesn't "usually spill over" so not to even worry about a positive result. Morphine however came up in a pre-employment test.

Opiate medications when taken 20 minutes before a drug panel won't show necessarily except for a trace amount due to the process that uptakes in your system. There is route of administration, in your case I would assume orally, then your stomach absorbs or absorption takes place. If you take gabapentin (neurontin), then your AUC or amount in the bloodstream is decreased exponentially depending on the amount you take. Also, prevacid, protonix, Maalox, and a host of other inhibitors can slow absorption. Then comes distribution add to where your medication goes to relieve pain, in this instance the mu receptor. After that is metabolism and how your body processes the medicine, and how fast or slow and where depending on the medicine that it processes. In the case of hydrocodone, you're kidneys and liver, so it can theoretically be out of your system within 24 hours depending on titre level or how often you take it. THEN AND ONLY THEN will it go thru the past stage, elimination which is your urine usually. Evaluations at the metabolite level for 6MAM or 6AM (6acetylmorphine) will determine SPECIFICALLY AND WITHOUT QUESTION if there's the presence of illicit drugs. P.S. Topamax has been known to show positive for opiates as it releases massive amounts of endorphins which goes thru your body as a natural opiate... You may have heard of runners high where the body naturally does the same release.

Qualitest was bought by Endo, made by PAR. It seems that you can still get Qualitest. Not sure if PAR is just selling old stock or what. Anyone know?

My pharmacy was able to order Qualitest 10/325 hydros today, so I hope they're still the yellow tabs that I used to get before they became difficult to find..

Please let me know what you end up getting . According the the pharmacist I just talked to said that PAR makes them and there white , He said Qualitest is not made anymore . Some places might have old stock still left if were lucky to find . Same think for Zolpidem . I've tried everywhere and not one store has qualitest left and that's the only good generic ambien on the market . :(

Was able to find Qualitest yellow 10mg at Meijer supermarket today. It said PAR on the bottle. Now another pharmacy told me that PAR took out the dye and there white. I have not tried those so I can't say how they are but If it's like what watson/actavis did then the medicine gets released super fast and makes your heart race, works quicker for pain but does not last very long and you can't sleep on them, you will be up all night.

Look around and stick to the yellow's did there dried up. I would be very interested if anyone get a chance to try the white PAR 10mg and how they work.

You should still be able to get it under the name PAR, they might be white though. Not sure if they changed the formula. Endo bought PAR and Qualitest. They kept some of the Qualitest, same logo but sold under the PAR name.
