Amneal Hydrocodone Ip 110 (Page 2) (Top voted first)

Updated

I was given a different brand of hydrocodone/acetaminophen 10-325 by MFG AMNEAL, instead of my regular brand watson 10-325 I was told that my pharmacy wouldnt carry watson brand after the fact of giving me the new generic brand. Even though the label on my new brand states oval white tab.watson 853 not letting me prior of refilling my prescription. And I need to know if both brands are equally the same? I read most of people complain about this new MFG AMNEAL generic brand. I want the facts and truth about brands being the same. When i asked one of the pharmacist, she said, "watson my regular brand is the same as my new brand". But i would like an outsider professional opinion who doesnt work for my pharmacy.

As far as I know walgreens carries watson. I had a very bad experience with Amneal too! Call other stores and find out what brand they carry. Most of all make a complaint to your doctor and get it documented. Alot of us here have been affected negatively by the Amneal garbage hydrocodone!! It made me so sick!! Let the pharmacy you call know you are sensitive to this brand when you call.
Document your symptoms and made a complaint. To the FDA, not Amneal. I was hung up on and put on hold and when soneone answered I could not understand them. Take the leftover to your doctor and get a new prescription for the amount you did not take. Good luck. Sorry you are going through this.

Exactly what Thunderheart said. Same issues here. Also had to go to doctor to give my bottle and get a new script. My Walgreens now only gives me Watson. I filed a complaint with Walgreens corporation so they were aware and the FDA.

I didn’t contact Amneal, but what do you know, they contacted me. They’ve been emailing me for info so they can investigate it....so obviously enough of us are being proactive where the FDA is taking action on making sure they are doing their due dilegince (I'm thankful for this site and thread from everyone in January when i went through this, when i thought i was crazy)!

Please let me know which find out because I feel the same way I've been taking Watson ran for over 10 years and the Amneal does not work nearly as well as Watson! I have also been using Walgreens for the past 10 years and I don't want to bring it up because of the controversy of opiates! TIA

Wow they still did after you’ve told them? Going forward after all this chaos and back & forth I’ve been dealing with for doing nothing wrong - I’m never leaving the window there without pulling it out - even if I hold up the drive thru. It’s crazy. Hope all get what they need due to this situation we all have had with not getting relief and being sick from it

Re: Kimber (# 10) Expand Referenced Message

Thanks Kimber, I’ll call the fda too then since i wrote in - and filled that form out and all info. But anything to get it seen or to a higher place where they hopefully take us all seriously - and potentially do something. I’ll do what I need to do, especially after all this back and forth, and trying to rectify this situation we didn’t do anything wrong to deserve & of course feel like we have to go through hoops or are doing something wrong because of the classification and epidemic. Ppl don’t understand unless they need meds like us for reasons & judge it. Notnright to make us pay for it when we aren’t criminals...that’s for sure. I’ll be calling them today for sure!

Re: Julie (# 13) Expand Referenced Message

Finally! Went back - for the new script again, written appropriately to how my local one needed it & and all is switched out. Pain but fixed.....I’m going to call Walgreens Corp again tho and fda (only wrote into fda) and this needs to get real notice - or answers given.....not that i want to continue spending time on this headache; something needs to be done to hopefully change this for all of us & what we dealt with.

Best of luck and if you have questions let me know. Fingers crossed for you Julie.

The company is prpbsbly trying to cover up. They know very well that their 10/325 is junk!! I let them know several months ago. Now lets all do something about it!! They came back with an emaul saying nothing is wrong with it. Yeah right!! There are many people saying they are having serious side affects too!! Its not only me!!
Thank you all!!

I actually emailed my senator last night. Next I will tell him to get on here & see how many ppl are effected Nationwide!! Amneal made me very very sick! I will continue to go hollistic, until the FDA is doing their job! I covered a lot of medical issues in my email to my senator!! The new laws in Georgia are a violation of our human rights & civil liberties!! Good luck! PLEASE CONTACT YOUR GOVERNMENT!!! Force the FDA to do their job!!!

Re: Gingerroot (# 28) Expand Referenced Message

Please report to the FDA. This drug by Amneal is horrible! I had the worst side effects too! The more of us that report this the sooner this garbage will be gotten rid of!! 1-888 463-6332. Amneal 10/325 is poison!

Thank you Michelle. Amneal has never contacted me but Im not surprised. I noticed many months ago how bad the medicine was and they brushed me off.
Thank you for helping the cause! Now if we can get big pharm to stop making our medicine weaker!!
Sincerely,
ThunderHeart

Agreed. Amneal Pharmaceutical LLC IP 110 Hydrocodone DOES NOT WORK ! I am in severe agony. Never had a problem for 17 years on generics, but now am barely able to care for myself. Never again will I purchase Amneal.

Re: Krista (# 38) Expand Referenced Message

I am now taking Amneal hydrocodone 5 mg since there is a shortage of 10 mg in my area of San Diego. I do notice that this 5 mg Hydrocodone is not as effective, causes sweating within four hours, and I feel drunk when I take it. Never felt that way taking Norco.

Thought I was going nuts the last week or two, noticing something is not right about my medication. It’s awkwardly embarrassing enough with the stigma on controlled substances - and always being at the pharmacy. Let alone questions or wanting to call and ask. So decided to call today because this is bananas and know I’m not crazy.

I’ve been on the same Norco 10-325 for sadly over a decade. I’ve been through almost every color and manufacturing company there is or has been filled by them. This month when I picked up my refill at Walgreens, I received one that I never have seen before; thinking i was given the wrong dose (this happened several times years ago unfortunately. And even with the awkward feeling of having to call or go back regarding “opioids” - they corrected it. Then i left and an issue again, so they fixed it after 3 times of me coming back that day...in which could have been a bigger issue. God forbid someone didn’t know or notice like I did - was allergic, or died due to this HUGE mistake).

Anyway sorry to go off in a tangent - but I know medication and am extremely smart and careful with them. When I opened them I was like “what is this”? Seeing after the new year when I filled it (1.9.18) Looking so weird, but the color & ID/numbers matching on the bottle...noticed it had a manufactured brand name I never had seen personally.

AMNEAL!

The last week and a half I noticed it truly doesn’t seem right and doesn’t help whatsoever if I take it versus each other brand I’ve been given.

Embarrassed, but finally called my local Walgreens that filled it; to ask if there were potentially any complaints or same feedback, issues etc. was super awkward and felt so weird and still do (when I shouldn’t).

He said “not that he’s aware and hasn’t heard anything at all”, but he’ll “keep his ears opened”. It’s not their fault, I do appreciate Walgreens especially my local one I go to. The team is great. But I know this is NOT right, the medication is not the same - whatever the change is - or issue potentially, I don’t want to consume without knowing. And I can’t get it somewhere else - it’s already filled. And I am not a pharmacy hopper nor would I do that or want to be red flagged. I like Walgreens but unsure what I’m supposed to do...

I’m going to call headquarters or research if there’s a site with info of whom to contact that really can help give answers etc on this. It’s making me uneasy truly and feels illegal to me if it isn’t the same. And we aren’t aware - or told of what we are even consuming. Given info of why, or the difference in the generic brand filled isn’t working & what to do (if there’s anything we can do)?

As I went to google it - literally as i thought I’d type the brand Amneal in, first things i see all month popping up are sites like this of people asking about the same issues, and many questioning the medication and having issues and it not helping them.

This is not a dependency and tolerance issue for me; that’s always been long gone being on it for so long. I used to take so many and now there days I go without taking it. So I know the difference, and this we are taking is not helping anyone it seems I’m reading.

Anyone have ideas or find any info out by any chance regarding this by any chance? Really curious while I start having to research who to call, or contact to make myself spend time doing something so ridiculous & awkwardly uncomfortable too when I haven’t done anything wrong.

The fun of being on opioids....those who need them to just get through times or days like most can; to work or walk, etc. and we have to be judged or feel judged and embarrassed what it sounds like regarding this. Super irritated / and always helping others...get feel like I’m a criminal when I have to research or question it.

However, I’m worried this is really not likely affecting many on a broader scale. Not just me and us. A large company like Walgreens is either needing ppl like us having issues and concerns to let them know so they are aware & take action; or to find out what options there are because this isn’t ok.

This is wrong and I’d rather take back and get a different brand which I know is impossible. Impossible from the time I’m sure I was in the lot and took the bottle out of the bag to let the next person through the drivethru..since i don’t like holding ppl up, and like to double check I get the RIGHT medication (again it’s happened countless times at another one years ago); and I trust them when the bottle has the info l else matching the pill.

Really do hope those that I respect there; the pharmacists aren’t aware? Or are they told and just brush it off as if we are drug addicts - due to being told by HQ? (Really I’m hoping not for the sake of customers/patients, and the company I’ve always liked and trusted for 36 years. Otherwise they will be in huge trouble; beyond - and action will be taken...sadly. That is for sure.

Thanks and sorry for rambling - i type as fast as I talk - lol. And super frustrated and feel weird and uncomfortable having to question myself each day; the get the guts to not feel like a drug addict (even tho they know me there) to have the courage to finally call today - about 11-12 days later since I didn’t have the guts....and then call to not get an answer thinking I’m nuts and now have to research???

Omg. Seriously? Sorry for venting - super upset right now - feel like we are being put in a very awkward horrible situation I want nothing to do with and didn’t ask for; and did nothing wrong. And sadly the pharmaceutical companies are about $ and profit and the bottom line; as the pharmacies are too. I understand they need to make a profit but not at a risk of injuring a customer or not giving a patient what they need that is effective for them.
