Re: Kevlar (# 14)
I understand your concerns because I know Pharmacists have begun practicing medicine even though they are not trained as a medical physician. These Pharmacists have never examined you, they do not have access to your medical records, but they make a diagnosis based on no more than their Pharmacy training. They are trained on how medications interact. They are not medically trained and have no business trying to tell you, WITHOUT ANY MEDICAL TRAINING OR KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR MEDICAL CONDITION(S), what they feel is the correct treatment. The Pharmacists, with the agreement of their employers, are compounding this so called “opioid” crisis. There is no “crisis” among legal users but the street druggies and thief’s fuel this hysteria. The authorities cannot get to the real core of this problem so they go after the legal chronic pain community and say “look how we are attacking this problem”. If someone robbed a bank a County away and they came and arrested you for the crime even though you had absolutely nothing to do with the robbery is EXACTLY what attacking innocent Chronic pain persons amount to. This assault on the Chronic legal pain medication user has to stop.

I believe Watson bought out Actavis and quit making the Watson brand hydrocodone. Whatever the situation is Watson hydrocodone is not manufactured anymore. IF there is any Watson hydrocodone left out there anywhere it is only in Pharmacies that may have some still around.
Re: Julie (# 15)
Also, no Pharmacy will answer questions about any controlled substance pain medication. They are afraid that you are a thief they may be calling to find out I’d you have any pain medications on hand so they can come in and steal them. The pharmacy that I always went to told me one time that it would be “two to three days” before they could fill my prescription. I was called later that day and told they received a shipment of the pain medication I had a prescription for that day.

I also took the Watson brand that worked so much better. Than the oblong white MFG Mallinckrodt- sub for Narco 10/325
Unfortunately the large chain pharmacies only order the cheapest generic form that they can find. Most are made in India and work poorly against pain and do cause side effects beyond that of the normal opioid. Even some of the mom and pop pharmacies are having a hard time getting anything of value due to 1) Reduction in production 2) companies stopped producing it. 3) companies out of business...etc.
Re: Marjorieson (# 118)
Watson has stopped producing any hydrocodone since sometime in 2016/2017.

Re: roro (# 121)
No I can’t. And I get treated like a drug addict if I try to call and find it.
Where in San Francisco is watson carried?
Re: Lina (# 123)
I will post this once more: Watson quit producing hydrocodone tablets under the Watson name in 2016 or 2017. The Watson brand was a great brand until the government got involved and said that "opioids" were responsible for many deaths. The opioids that they were referring to is heroin but unfortunately ALL opioids were painted with the same brush. Street addicts being addicted to heroin and overdosing on it is the main problem.
I have the same problem only not for Watson/activis hydrocodone but for soma! My Walgreen’s used to carry Watson then Watson changed and they started caring I believe Qualitest and now they don’t carry that and now I’m onto the side Jen manufacture and it doesn’t relieve the pain

Re: Apple (# 1)
I'm in Copperhill Tennessee and the drugstore says they stop making the yellows. I can't take the white or blue, they make my stomach in pain. Do you know where I can get the yellows?
Re: Jersey (# 126)
That 300 is normally a name brand and not a generic.
Re: Julie (# 15)
Walgreens stopped saying over the phone what brand they carry of any schedule 2 drug. They found out that their were "teams" of people calling to find out if the Walgreens could fill a certain prescription and when they said "yes" another person would show up to rob the Pharmacy. I was told this by a Walgreens Mgr. where I filled all my prescriptions for many years. This was when Pharmacy robberies were a big thing. The criminals found out that robbing Pharmacies was not such a good thing anymore.
Re: BustedBack (# 8)
I am in the same position. I was able to take qualitest for many years which helped to ease the severe pain I have so I could have a life and do things... socialize, housework, yard, etc. Four months ago, the new pharmacist at Walgreen's said they couldn't get that anymore. I am highly sensitive to ingredients in medications. They had mallinckrodt which gave me a big seizure! I showed up to pick up my Rx and was told they didn't have it. Walgreen's also special ordered it and even through the pandemic and all last year I was still able to get the qualitest brand every month. I have to help my mom recovering from a stroke. I researched when up to it and find McKesson has qualitest brand. Nobody will order it for me! Now, I went from being active to nothing. I need to go back to work and have a life I am not one to spend time in bed during the day but now I have a setback and spend time in bed with the horrific pain and flare ups. This is no way to live. Thank you for listening. I called McKesson and yes they took it over the qualitest hydro. It is difficult to try to deal with when one is in severe pain. I had joined a fitness club too and doing yoga trying to take care of my health until now this happened. I also have Meneire's disease for years and anyway qualitest really helped me. Forgive me for sounding like I am rambling too much or repeating myself. I am beyond frustrated. Left stranded with no help from pharmacist. Oh, I have never had any seizures before and it was scary. Incidentally it was many years ago, a wonderful pharmacist helped me find the right medication for my pain and that it worked for me and he use to work at Walgreen's. Good luck to you.
Re: Is (# 10)
Agree. Watson is garbage and always made me very sick. Whatever they put in some medications make me sick.
Re: Mel (# 139)
Yep Watson hydrocodone was bought by a Brazilian company about the same time Par bought Qualitest. I think Par kept Qualitest running about a year (probably to fulfill order commitments & use up those ingredients ordered). So yep the cheap companies save money by using the 80% level then buy the good companies & close them down to get rid of the competition. I wouldn't doubt that the government helps them buy the decent companies to get rid of them.
