Absolute jerks, they are! I'm in my late sixties with severe RA in my hands. They give me the same bulls***, like I'm some sort of druggie! I'm still working in a garage and Norco is the only thing, mixed with Ibuprofen, that allows me to function!

I too have used the yellow 10 Norco. They are the only ones that relieve my pain. Last month my pharmacist gave me white ones Mallinckodt. I had stomach pain, was nauseous and vomiting all the time and had 2 panic attacks. When I picked up my prescription this month, it was the white ones again. I asked what happened to the yellow ones and he said we changed manufacturing companies. Had I continued to take them would've ended up in the hospital. From what I read Mallinckodt bought out Watson. My doctor wrote me a hard copy to take to an outside pharmacy to try and find the yellow ones, but I can't find them anywhere! I live in Fresno, CA. Anybody know where I can find a pharmacy here?

Yes there is a better Vicodin, and that's the Vicodin pill that has "3604 on one side, and the "V" on the other side w/pink dots on it.... I promise, you won't have to look any further.

Kaiser in Sacto., Ca stopped Qualitest Norco. I had been going to Antioch Ca, 150 miles, now that Kaiser stopped Qualitest. I had the same bad reaction as Raquel (# 28) to the Mallinckrodt. Have you had any luck finding Qualitest? Kaiser put me on Oxy which was horrible, too strong... Kaiser has had a ton of complaints. I filed one and they still refuse to special order...

God bless you Mike! You should be thanked for your service in being stationed in Iraq, but on top of it, suffering from a “bomb blast" injury... In my book you deserve a medal and SOME RESPECT when you walk into ANY pharmacy in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in picking up your medicines YOU NEED in some dignity! I always say: We always have to be willing to put ourselves in another person's shoes —because we never know WHEN we ever may be “wearing them shoes".

Jo hi, yes, those with the v and 360, are quality. Easy on the stomach, long lasting pain relief. The manufacture brand is called Qualitiest. It's good to do your home work on manufacture brands. Too many out there that are not as good as this one when it comes to long term pain and pain management.

It doesn't take too much study to find out that Watson brand Norco is bogus! I have been taking Norco for 20+ years and I will never waster my time and money with Watson. I stopped doing business with Walgreens because they refuse to carry anything but Watson. Obviously they are only concerned about price and not the efficacy of the drugs they sell nor the opinions of their consumers.

Re: Ron rock (# 15)

Mine are made by LUPIN, in India. Do you really think the FDA is going to check to see if they ate putting the correct amount if pain medication in? Simple answer NO. I took these and had chills/shakes. I looked it up and it said I was having withdrawal symptoms. Omg no wonder my pain is so bad and I was sick like that. This is terrible what government is doing to people who need them. I'll go every day, get online and show my doc I'm taking mine via Skype. But don't punish me and make crap pills that don't work because of a bunch of *****s that sell or abuse them. I have rheumatoid arthritis and chronic pain and fibromyalgia, I've had open heart surgery, & I need surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome. I have to use talk to text so please don't be mad if sentences run long. My fingers are in so much pain from my Raynaud Syndrome they look like purple fingertips and they just look so terrible and hurt so bad.

My feet just tingle and my husband jokes to me about them being dead people feet because that's what my feet look like, just stark blue dead people feet except I feel pain, horrible pain. I was just taking the Norco to cut the pain. I know nothing can take it all away and I don't want to be on super strong pain medication. This is just wrong. Like I said I'd be willing to show a doctor every day on Skype to watch me take my pill, put it in front of them, take it with a glass of water, swallow it, show my tongue & everything, but I'm not willing to drive every single day to the doctor's to get 5 pills when I take three a day. I would have to go into the doctor's office and get another prescription for 5 the next day. That's the lovely new law they think they're going to put into place in South Carolina. I'm also not willing to accept what they're doing to us by taking all the pain medication out because these pills are junk.

Re: Allison (# 53)

Regarding "Contact the manufacturer themselves to see who they do business with" - Good luck with that. I too first thought they would share what pharmacy had the Qualitest Norco. After calling a dozen times, never could talk to the person they directed me to nor did I ever get a call back. Seems meds go to a distributor and they sell to a pharmacy. So I found one distributor in my area and called, no way would they give info on what pharmacy they provide QUALITEST to. The distributor is the one that marks up the price & they make big money in doing so. It came out in the media so distributors won't give you the time of day. I found on FDA's website an area where you can search for complaints against a manufacturer. Since FDA wants to control pain meds it sure would be nice if they would provide a listing of where people could buy the meds that work best for themselves, instead of people wasting their money to support manufacturers who produce worthless meds with little to no pain control aside from making people sick with side effects.
