Hydrocodone 2172 (Page 2) (Top voted first)

Updated

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.

It's not the medicine it's the manufacturer at Walgreens . Take your script elsewhere . It will solve your problem

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.

Confused and Worried: I've been taking Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen 5/325 for 16 years. They do not take away all of the pain, but it helps me have a better quality of life that I wouldn't have with osteoarthritis. I don't like that I've taken these for so long and it's going to be very troublesome when I stop taking them.

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 too feel as though the pills are not working from the manufacturer ACTAVIS and that is where Walgreens gets them from. I finally put in a complaint to the FDA for them to check into this. If more people complain to the FDA about this maybe something will be done. You can put in a complaint online or call them. The phone # is 1-888-463-6332.

Please look into Kratom. I'm sorry for your pain. I manage mine with gold maeng da... Spent a few houses on pain pills. Now, pharma doesn't have my balls.. Get yours back. I am not a vendor nor will I recommend one.

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 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 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

STAY away from the "big box" stores for your medications. They seem to get the bottom of the barrel. Go somewhere else.

I've spent most of the day researching the same med. I have taken the Watson 3202 longer than I can remember. All of a sudden I was dispensed a plain white rather than speckled tablet with 2172 imprinted on one side. Same story from behind the counter. They changed the formulary but it's the same dosage. When I pushed the issue she got huffy with me. The regular Pharmacist was on vacation. I wouldn't take the meds home. They certainly knew better and told me "you can't just stop taking your medication".

On the Watson 3202 (Speckled) there have been 2 occasions I couldn't remember if I had taken my morning pill. Having taken another dose I certainly knew that I had. (already taken my pill) My Head Was Spinning.

It seems alot of these messages have the same issue. You might as well have taken a vitamin tablet. I'm taking this on as a challenge.
It's so unlike me to argue like this, but, too many of us have Chronic Pain Issues. I personally am in just to much pain to now be pushed around.

Just to let y'all know what I was told about the red/orange specks --- it's caffeine, so maybe that could cause the sluggishness in ppl who've been on them awhile. As far as the pill itself relieving serious pain, that is a JOKE and Walgreens will lie to your face regarding any opiates due to legal suits against them. Once upon a time the only pharmacy I trusted was Walgreens but NEVER again. I wish all of us that are in chronic pain will have a solution soon. And if your doctor suggests that you switch to suboxone for the pain... Run like hell and find a new doctor because it is poison that WILL absolutely ruin your life, body, and soul.
