Yellow Vs. White Percocet
UpdatedHi, I am taking Percocet 10/325 for back, hip and leg pain. I recently had a multiple level Lamonectomy. When I was first prescribed this medication the pills were oblong and white. The next prescription that was filled was percocet 10/325 as well, however they were round, yellow and they seemed so much stronger. The white ones I had in the first prescription seemed to leave a lot of white residue in my medicine bottle. The yellow did not. The yellow round ones relieved my pain much better and I did not have to take as often. Both being generic and were 10/325 could it be the way they metabolize in your system? Could it be that they have different inactive ingredients? Thanks in advance.

There can slight fluctuations in the amount of the active ingredients from one generic to the other, so that could account for it, the one may have been a little stronger than the other.
This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.
Is there anything else I can help with?
Thanks Verwon. Yes, I am aware these can be habit forming. I take the least amount that I can. I usually only take 1/2 tablet and give it 30 to 45 minutes to see if I can get relief. With the help of ice gel packs which I have grown to love I am taking less of the drug.
I don't see anyone giving a real answer to your question. I as well can tell a difference between yellow vs a white Percocet, I've often wandered why that is. I prefer the yellow, they seem to work better for me.
I have been getting my Percocet rx filled with tablets that are round and yellow with the imprint 230. This time I was dispensed white T139 tablets. They don't seem to work like the yellow tablets I was getting before. What is different?
