Lortab Watson Blue Vs Lortab M363 (Page 5)

My friend and I are both prescribed Lortab APAP10/500's. I get the Watson 540 blue pills and he gets the M363 white pills. I have taken the white ones before, but for some reason, it did not help me as much as the Watsons. I don't understand this. Besides the manufacturer, is there any real difference between the two different kinds of pills?

Is there a dr. In Duluth mn that will help with pain management that is not with st. Luke's or st. Mary's . I do not like being treated like just a number I would like a human dr. That treats patients like people without the influence of a big hospital

You have to either be receiving SSDi or be retireed and 65 in order to qualify for Medicare. Also Medicare is not for those who are low income. On the other hand Medicaid is for low income and doesn't require you receiving disability or being 65 in order to quailify. There are income limits an depending on the state you live in there may also be resources limits as well as other criteria. There also is no cost for Medicaid. The only problem is that fewer and fewer drs are accepting Medicaid To find out if you're eligible for Medicaid in your state put, Your State Medicaid Eligibility Requirements, in your search bar.

You need to get signed up with the free clinic ASAP! I don't remember where you are but I know in Virginia, because of what friends have told me, you are originally signing up to be put on a waiting list. They call you when they have an appointment available. Good luck!

Watson has stopped adding dye to their pills as it is better for the environment... i.e. A blue 10/500 & white 10/500 are identical in the Watson line... Pink & yellow are also white. Refer to the #'s. The pills haven't changed... just less pretty...

To everyone noticing that the generic hydrocodone, oxycodone etc are not as strong: The truth is that they are not, most of them contain at least 20% less of the hydro & oxy than the name brands. The pharmacists & pharm. techs that respond to these forums try to tell you that you are building up a tolerance but you're not. Most of them don't know any better themselves or don't want to disclose the facts. Only pharmacists that are older (70-80 years old) really know or will tell you the truth about the generic drug situation. A lot of pharm. students & techs are told that generics are the same strength, they are not! It is such a violation of patients rights, especially cancer & chronic pain patients to make them suffer & be told that the meds are the same strength.

My father was a pharmacist, owned his own pharmacy & I worked for him 10 yrs. He was told & threatened to keep his mouth shut about these generics. By law the FDA allows generic meds to contain 20% less of the medication & fillers & chalky substances are added. It's actually a lot more than that in some of these ridiculous, half fake generics. I dont care what anyone thinks or says, this is the truth. How funny that when some people are taking norco & then have drug panel for a new job come up positive for tramadol & norco?? Sounds like some or all generic norco is also being combined or cut by the drug manufactures with tramadol & who knows what else. How scary is this that it's ok for this to be going on? Anyway folks you're not crazy for wondering why your meds are not as effective as name brand!

My name is Mike. I had a PAIN MANAGEMENT doctor until he discharged me on July 7, 2017. The first time I met this doctor he explained to me the pain was coming from the brain due to a stroke I had back in 2009. I'm having severe chronic pain my right arm and hand that I'm not able to use. He first said that he wanted to try METHADONE, a pain med that requires me to get an ekg first. In the meantime he wrote me a script for 20 LORTABS. Well the EKG test show the numbers to be too high, NO METHADONE. Then he said lets try an inj... He wrote me a script for 90 more Lortabs. He then states that the inj. could cause my blood pressure to go up. Then he decides to increase my Lortabs 10-325 to 120. Then a week before being discharged I had a visit with him and it was time for my 3 month U/A. I've been having so much pain that I ran short of LORTAB. Being short and not able to take this med for pain, my blood pressure and heart rate would jump sky high - that may cause another stroke. So I had 3 PERCOCETS I had left over. I found them in a bottle and I took it upon myself when I ran low on my LORTABS to take in June. My U/A came back showing the PERCOCETS in my system. So he discharged me. Now I have no pain med! Does anyone know of a pain doctor in the Memphis, Tennessee area? Please let me know.
