White Watson 853 Definately Less Effective

There is something very wrong with the white Watsons besides being less affective ,I get headaches sleeplessness, irritability, and dry mouth, the only thing I know is that actual Watson company pharmaceutical sold to Activis which another pharmaceutical company. this is not the same pill. Waldgreens gave me these without telling me of the change after getting home I went to take one and found out they were white, I called waldgreens and was told they are exactly the same. I tested this pill for 10 days now and I still have the same negative reaction. If I cant get them to switch the remaining ones with the V script imprint I will be taking my business back to CVS

They are supposed to have only removed the dye from them, but there have been many complaints similar to yours.

And unfortunately, no the pharmacy actually can't take them back and switch out for the others, they also can't give you a completely different prescription, before you're actually due for a refill.

However, you can talk to your doctor about getting a different medication in the meantime that will help you and you can ask them to order the others in for you to fill your next prescription.

I have been taking the yellow Norcos for about a year now for my pain. Recently Walgreens gave me the White Watson 853 and I am so upset!!! I thought maybe it was just me until I read this forum!! I have not had a good night sleep in 3 nights! I wake up feeling restless and cannot go back to sleep. My body aches, and I'm feeling pain as if I've not taken any medicine!
I felt sick every day As well as a headache within half hour of taking. I thought I had a virus but once I stopped taking them i instantly felt relief. I cannot believe so many people are experiencing these same issues and their still on the market!! What can be done?
