Qualitest Hydrocodone 10 325 (Page 2) (Top voted first)

Updated

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.

Okay so here's an update. I told my doctor that I may have gotten faulty qualitest and they took the script back and wrote me a new one. So I picked up my new script today from a different Pharmacy and right away I noticed how glossy these were. I took my usual dose and wow what a difference just like they use to be. my pain was gone instantly and I was not sick I felt great. Like I was saying before the other ones weren't as glossy and you could rub your finger across and it would smear them almost.

They have for sure changed their formula. I Special ordered the old ones and they are darker yellow in color and very shiny. The new ones are very light yellow and have a stamping circle watermark on them. Just waiting for qualitest to give me an answer.

RJ, how do you "special order the old ones"? I'm not following you.. and you say you told your doctor you may have gotten "faulty qualitest" and they took the script back (but you already filled it?) and wrote you a new one..
What's up with that? It just doesn't make sense, so please enlighten us?

What I would like to know is if the Qualitest hydrocodone 10/325 is still yellow, and for those of us who prefer that brand over the bogus white Watson, is it still effective, or have they been changed as well?
Thanks

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...

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?

Roadhouse, are you a chronic pain patient that has experience in actually using different variations of 10/325 hydrocodone? I have many years of pain experience and my experiences do not agree with your post. It may be i am just weird, my dr wanted me to move up the pain med ladder and i told them i do not want to mask the pain to the point that i hurt myself more due to not having the pain blocked and stressing the joints more and injuring them further.... pain is the circuit breaker of your anatomy.

I've had those yellow football shaped Norco. They don't seem as strong as others. My theory is they are more dense. Harder. It takes them longer to dissolve and get in your system. They are very hard to break in half. That's at least part of it. Ingredients could differ a bit as well.

the white 10mg Watsons are strong but make me feel like i have lots of anxiety and energy ,do not make me tired at all ,make me itch like crazy and i usually end up not being able to sleep , Takes me 5 minuets just to pee, ( a nightmare ) I have to take diazepam just so i can calm down . I just got 10mg yellow Qualtiest and they are weaker but do not make me feel crazy help only a little for the pain and with a benzo I can normally fall asleep .They do make me a bit drowsie and a little dizzy at times . never tried any other brands . I hate that there is no pain pill that works fast and makes you sleepy anymore . Whatever I took years ago for some wisdom teeth were so much better then what is out now for me . I asked about the yellow Watson and no store will order the 100 bottle count that someone mentioned . The pharmacist said they removed all dyes so i don't know for sure that the 100 pill count bottle is yellow anymore .

when did they stop making watson ? Actavis owns them and walgreens had them as of november 2015. There web sight says they still make them . They have been changed to white for a few years now . the watson release the medicine very quickly , I think the Qualitest last a little longer but don't feel as strong . The watson make you very hyper with anxiety while the qualitest make you tired . I can't sleep at all on watson. . there are a few other usa companies that make norco , I would stay away from any India brands .

I was just saying that they reformulated them when they took the yellow dye out of the Watson and now they are messing with the qualitest. Makes me angry that the consumer isn't notified or given any consent.

Yes they could care less about us. And many of the better brands are being bought out by giant companies like Teva who pretty much sell junk.

When was Qualitest changed? Is it white now too?

Any word on the Qualitest ? What do you think they added to the pill and when did this happen ? I have some yellows from November and there excellent .
Those work really good and I can sleep with them . I am about to get a prescription and walmart carries them. Walgreens has the Watson /Actavis ,Those make me sick and there so speedy ,I lay in bed all night going crazy . Mallinckrodt from many reviews seem to be junk . There really no other brands I can find . Costco carries one but I think it's a Qualitest company .
