Hey, i got these pills today from walgreens and i have taken 3 so far and still no affect on my pain. Has anyone else had this same problem because idk of they took most of the hydro out of these new pills but there's definitely something wrong. I will not be getting these from my Dr again.

I too have had little to no pain relief from the Actavis hydrocodone 10/325. I have severe osteoarthritis in just about every joint in my body. It should be against the law for this company to sell this and other medications.

I also go to Walgreen's for my prescriptions and Watson is no longer it is now Actavis the pills say Watson on them but since Actavis took over they do not work like they did before I also was given a script for Morphine which Actavis also is the manufacture and I feel like I am taking an asprin it does nothing for me. I am thinking of going to a different Pharmacy for my pills it seems like all Walgreens use the same Manufacture for these pills

I have been taking Watson 5/325 with the red specs for years due to pain with MS, I go to Walgreens They got a new carrier so they are not getting Watson pills anymore, they do not do the same for my pain and upset my stomach. They also switched my blood pressure pills to a different generic and my blood pressure readings are higher. I called to complain to pharmacist she said they have been slot of complaints I think I will try to find a different pharmacy. I did google the corporate headquarters and sent an email to complain if everyone does this mabe they would go back to Watson as their carrier. Just a suggestion.

I take Norco 10/325 that say Watson 853 on it but Watson is no longer it is Actavis and if you get them at Walgreens this is who they get them from they do not work my dr. even prescribed Morphine Sulf ER 30 mg which Actavic also supplies it to Walgreens and that does not work either I feel like I am taking nothing I am thinking on switching to a different Pharmacy and see how others work if from a different manufacture. So all I can say is try switching to a different Pharmacy to get your pain meds and ask who they get them from

Yes. I find myself taking more and still getting practically no pain relief
I am Leary about speaking to my doctor about this due to the controversy being made by F D A. I am 67 yrs old and take these for pain

They make med very edgy. They don't kill pain. Are these a joke from our government or what?

This is in response to the Sept, 15 2016 post by OutlanderSass (and I would like the following information from OutlanderSass): (1) what is the Pharmacy you use; is it a chain, and (2) what insurance company do you use? I would like to have this information because although I was able to get a prescription for Vicodin, and I wished to have the Abbott variety, NEITHER the pharmacy (a big chain) NOR the insurance company would supply or cover it. So I have a useless piece of paper and no pills. Can you help?

I may be mistaken, or maybe Vic's & percs have same alpha/num. Anyway A333 I know as perc. 10/325, mfg.? I find work very well, now A332 are perc.7.5/325, mfg.? I've found A332's work very well, comparable to A333's. Now Vic's, I just changed from 7.5/300 to 10/300 & 325 Same mfg. 10/300-SUCK 10/325 mfg. Tris.- fair. People I'm on here for educational and informational purposes. I need pain meds to function! NOT addicted DEPENDENT!! Make no mistake there are major differences w/ meds ex: 1mg. alprazolam Sandoz-mfg. another mfg. (don't feel like looking up mfg) I keep detailed notes on all my meds. If u need & want to understand these meds, all meds!! Pay attention, keep notes. But gets down to the almighty dollar. Pharm. takes the cheapest, end of story. How often do u see "Watson"? me hardly ever. God forbid name brand! Thus also applies to IV antibiotics. Ex. Zosyn name vs a cocktail of 2 = Not the freaking same, ergo in 16 months 8X, 3 week Iv "zosyn" treatments. Then 3 week oral to follow, levaquin & flagyl, Great! now a recall on levaquin. No Drs had a clue about this??? If ur sick & depend on meds. Educate, notes, observations, comments. Oh it probably won't change anything , except you'll be the wiser. Thanks for ur time, I hope I've helped anybody. Sadly healthcare us Broken. Everyone has an opinion. People, all positions in healthcare. Pain ? Take a pill/ Don't take Opioids. "Take a Tylenol" i****s!!! Thing is, it can create 1 to? Oneself, more to say but only 1 terabyte of data left. lok. Last. People if ur doing this for recreational?? STOP IT! ****S. Sincerely ABA. I'LL BE BACK, I Like this open hopefully honest forum over something, that literally (pain meds) determines ..Do I cont. to fight to get surgeries, etc. I need!! 04-2014 to present still trying to get help I need. 20 911's 4 hosp. stays, near death (bacterial infection) 3-4 X's, 3rd in house nurse. 9 out of last 16 months I've had a line in me. 8 very serious problems for yrs . Since 2012. Now I'm just worse. I'm going legal, Sorry for dumping on u people. Thank you & God bless us all & (health care) which I now deem as an oxy (don't get excited) oxy Moron, u know like jumbo shrimp, military intelligence. Really like this site. ABA.

Stay away from the "big box" stores for your medication! They get the "bottom of the barrel" (so to speak). I know this from a group that meets every week to discuss the problem we "Chronic Pain Patients" face. Hope this helps. Find a local Mom & Pop store.

I do not take pain meds routinely. When it gets to the point where i take the meds, i am in pain! (Kidney stones.) I took the new white pill yesterday – no improvement. A couple of hours later, i took the new pill again – no change. I happened to have a few of the old speckled pills on hand and figured it couldn't make things worse. I had some pain relief within 15 minutes and significant relief within an hour. I plan to return the white ones to the pharmacy to let them know how ineffective they are (not for a refund, simply to make a statement).

I too have been on the Watson 5-325 with red speckles for years. But apparently now Actavis merged with Watson or some rubbish like that. All I know is it wasn't effective for me either and caused me to get headaches! My lower back has been feeling more horrible too. >:(
Guess they rather poison their customers and make them more sick so we will have to get on more meds. Seems legit to me! I called my Walgreens and spoke to the very helpful pharmacy manager and she suggested Vicodin Brand name 5-300mg. It is by ABBVIE. My insurance covered it as well. A lot of insurance companies do cover this brand name Vicodin so maybe you all should see if your insurance will. I also submitted a report to MedWatch, the FDA Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program. I would advise everyone to do the same!

I had the same thing happen to me. It's not just you. I called my pharmacist and they said a new company brought the other distributor but kept the name. This medicine is not working but I'm itching like crazy. I usually just take one, this time I took 2. I'm not taking anymore. I don't know the effects it could have.

I called all the local pharmacies and no one carries the Watson 3202 Vicodin anymore. I don't know why. I told my doctor and he prescribed me Percocet instead. Definitely helps like the old vicodin used to.
