Watson is no longer Watson they sold out to Actavis but the pills say Watson on them, yet they are just using the name and the pain pills give no relief. They are like taking nothing, but other pharmacies are also changing to different manufacturers. It's whoever has the lowest bid gets the contract.

These pills are garbage. No pain relief. Just like the generic Valium I take. I'm switching pharmacies. Call pharmacy before you fill scripts. They use crappy cheap ingredients.

Yes I got 2172 from Walgreens and they have no affect what so ever on my back pain. I thought I was immmune from this type of pain killer until I started reading other people’s complaint. This is a rip off.

All the pharmacies are switching from Watson 5-325 to a weaker Manufacturer. This is a big problem, no one is getting out of pain. It's like taking a heavy dose of aspirin. Pharmacies now have contracts with the new manufacturers. Maybe you can order Watson from these places. I have called 10 pharmacies. Good luck. Let your Doctors know is my advice.

Most people find that Hydrocodone (when you're unaccustomed to taking it) will give you a mild feeling of euphoria. It can also cause you to be "chatty" -- some people prattle on and on about nothing, without even realizing that they're doing it.

Re: MIKE (# 79)

I can 100% understand. You've had a Stroke, I have an inoperable Cerebral Aneurysm. NOW, The pain mgmt is for Neuropathy in my thighs caused by crushed vertebrae. However, pain mgmt is urgent in controlling our blood pressure. An increase in BP could bring on a Rupture for me or Stroke for you. I went from Tylenol Codeine 5/500 8 per day to 5/325 4 per day over 5 years. When Watson was merged into another Corp. the (recipe) changed. It took me showing my Doctor of 20 years this site and everyone's comments. He switched me to Oxycodone/Acetaminophen 5/325 3@day.

He had switched my # from 4 to 3 per day because it's much stronger. Anything would be since Watson sold out. This scared me, I started by halving them. First 1/2 I was loopy. 4,5,6 hrs I'd take the other 1/2. Now I'm @ 2 1/2 .

Mike I've never written anyone here before, your Stroke hit home for me. I'm certain our symptoms are different, however, Pain Management is so technical. I rather think our bodies are like fine tuned race cars, or a watch. Everything has to be in sync and if we're out of balance (Everything Hurts).

I'm Blessed with a doctor whom I have to trust with my life. And he has my obedience card up his sleeve. I'm concerned ur doc just cut your meds in half, I wish you could have a serious talk with your doc. They are so concerned now they have become monitors for the DEA.

This how people become severely addicted , you have little effect so you keep taking more then you run out early and go through some level of withdrawals every month. This is seriously dangerous. If your going to do this you have to have effective pain relief each day for 30 days , I have gone through Percs and hydros from actavis , 2172 ugh Rhodes terrible. The qualitest seem a bit better. I wonder if anyone has been able to compare brand against generic

Yes it's best to research the manufacturer who makes the pill. I've had the same problem several times in the past, 5 years ago 2 Percocet 10mgs would knock me on the floor now it's not even worth taking. Even the oxycodone 10 mgs I'm taking now are worthless. Changing you diet and researching alternative ways of dealing with pain has seemed to help me, natural herbs such as turmeric, Devils claw seems to work well. Find out what manufacturer medicine your getting should say on the label do some homework you will be surprised what you'll find. The good ole FDA does not have your best interest in mind. Good luck!!

Re: Hermoni1 (# 80)

It would be nice if you could get somewhere with Walgreens about their Hydro pills but I have complained about them and they say they don't have any complaints; yet everyone who gets their pills from Walgreens has a complaint. They are not made by Watson anymore. Watson sold out to Actavis and all their pills are crap. They don't work.

I am concerned as well and feel this 2172 pain med is not up to standards. I can't tell any difference when I take this pill. I need a new knee and this med is like taking a single Tylenol and it tastes like Tylenol only with no other taste noted from hydrocodone. I am going to call Walgreens tomorrow and tell them about all the unhappy people they have with this med. I hope this will help.

I was on hydrocodone 10/325 120 a month every 6 hours for severe chronic pain from a stroke. I've been cut down to 60 a month this past month. My body was used to the 120. Now that I'm down to taking 60, I'm having pain continuously! Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

If not a placebo, hydrocodone 2127 is as close to a placebo as you can get. It is manufactured in Dublin, Ireland, with distribution headquarters in the USA. It does not work. When tested via U/A, it did not show. Upon a "confirmation test" in a different laboratory, it still showed that there was none in my system. Walgreen's Pharmacy is, as far as I know, the only pharmacy that dispenses this generic pseudo prescription.

It's dangerous to take too many, I refilled my script at Fred Meyer, after calling. It works. I have a problem with sumatriptan also. Now I check manufacturer before picking up meds. Generic is NOT the same, we are forced by insurance to use them, but they can vary .5 +- from original. Google generic. Good luck finding help, I use ice alot, before I figured this out.
