Re: Ellen (# 69) 
Walgreen's cannot provide "Watson" brand anymore because they were ought out by "Actavis" back in 2014. It is in the article about "Watson" being bought out that Actavis would discontinue the Watson brand in all but a few meds and they were not going to manufacture Watson in generic opioids after some time. The Watson brand opioids, which were damn good generics, are no longer available.

Watson is now Activis name. They are a generic company now and serve over 100 countries. I have not been able to found out if they are to continue their main brand. Evidently not. I agree that the generic Activis is not controlling the pain as they produced under the Watson Brand. I'm looking for something a bit stronger to use. Thank you !

Walgreen's CANNOT bring back the "Watson" brand as it was bought out by Actavis a few years ago and the Watson brand hydrocodone is no longer being manufactured.

From what I have heard here in Dallas, Tx. Is that Walgreens had brought back the Watson brand of Hydrocodon. They probably had a loss do to the fact.

Re: w john (# 56)
I am slowly transition off opiods,I do this every 3/4 years, I'm 55 & like to cleanse my body out!
I am taking natural alternative w/ supplements & vitamins.
Turmeric root,ginger & honey work well for me!! The amneal generic hydros,made me so sick,really sick( almost went to ER ( do not like hospitals,especially during flu season).
I hibernate,in winter.
I took BOT in college & former roomie was in pharmacuticals for years- learned alot about human body & meds!
I was maintaining in very low dose, because I do not like taking meds, however, I do want quality of life,so alternatives are better for me right now! Yes I am in more pain than normally,but it will level out!
I can't take morphine,yellow dye, any thing with wheat or alfalfa & mild reaction to codeine ( itchy).
Good luck to all! Blessings!

Oh, oh my! U took the words right out of my mouth I was sick in pain Placebo feeling stupid meds I went back to my doctor with my bottle of pills and she counted them out and in return give me a new script for Oxycodone.

Re: Lynn (# 54)
What is dependent? The feeling that you have to have your pills everyday. You don't abuse the use of the pills by taking more than prescribed unless directed by your Doctor. You don't do any conduct that would be considered illegal. However, you have to have your meds everyday and if you try to quit cold turkey you can feel the withdrawal pangs. When you try to titrate down off the medications you feel the withdrawal pangs. This most often happens when you have been on opioid-based medications for years. When you reach the pure addiction level you abuse your prescription by taking way more pills than you have been prescribed. You have to buy extra pills from any source available. I have seen pill addicts and they are insane without their pills. I knew one person that was supposed to take two pills every 4-6 hours and they would take as many as 7. That was addiction. They had to go to an inpatient drug addiction facility and dry out under a Dr's supervision and in a managed facility as an inpatient. Dependence is bad but a person with strong resolve can get off the opioid-based meds if they make an honest effort. Addicts need professional help to get off their habit. Some have gotten rid of their addiction on their own but you have to be extremely strong mentally. If you cannot stop your pain meds on your own you may be addicted---not just dependent.

Re: Apple (# 1)
Watson became Actavis a few years ago. Each generic should be processed the same but I have found that to be the case. So much so that I had a failed drug panel due to a morphine metabolite. I believe it was an error in the making of the drug but that’s just me...no evidence to prove it.
In any case, if you’re really having issues, talk to your doc about alternative treatments.

Re: W john (# 48)
I don't know about being dependent? I go hollistic every 3/4 years. I hate taking meds, but in order for me to have quality of life, I need pain relief! I maintain, have for years on low dose, average 15-20 mgs a day, sometimes less (warm weather) no more than 25 mgs a day (cold weather). As for Watson, they no longer make generics, I called them, so I suggest everyone call them & see what they say to you!? I can't take alot of meds, like Percocet, anything morphine based, Norco yellow (allergic to the yellow dye). Amneal product needs to be recalled, made me very very sick! Fortunately, I did a home remedy, feeling better! Good luck all! Blessing!

Re: Stargazer19 (# 50)
Understand that Watson has been bought out by another company and they are not manufacturing generic hydrocodone or any other pain medication I am aware of. It is my understanding that the "Watson' name had been kept on certain meds but not many and then only in certain States or regions. I had to move my prescription from Walgreens to another pharmacy because they told me they will no longer stock Watson generics. They only have an awful replacement manufactured by Allegan. These replacement pills are too awful to explain but you can believe that the so called "pain pill" crisis is causing this. The reformulation is intentional. Not only are the binders (inert ingredients) different but they are not even putting in the amount of pain medication that is on the label. I read one post that said that if you see "7.5" mg hydrocodone they are only putting in "6.0" mg. The so called "opioid" crisis is taking down street addicts and pill thieves but everybody that has been prescribed pain medication for many YEARS and is using it correctly. I have contacted many Congressmen on this issue and have NEVER received a reply.
