Watson 853 White Or Yellow Pill (Page 3) (Top voted first)

I've been taking the Watson 853 yellow hydro /acetaminophen for several years. I get them from a well known pharmacy company. My most recent script was filled and I noticed the color was white, even though the markings of Watson 853 are identical to the light yellow pill. There was a huge difference in side effects with the new pill; constipation, dry mouth, and a little nasal congestion that I typically get from preservatives like sulfites. Many people get these symptoms when taking narcotics, but I have been fortunate with the hydrocodone as it has never affected me that way (oxycodone does however) I called the pharmacist and he said he couldn't get the yellow tabs anymore but wouldn't say one way or the other whether the formulation or fillers in the white pill differ from the yellow. I am guessing that there has to be something different..maybe cheaper ingredients? I have enough medical issues to deal with, I don't need these pills to add to my issues with uncomfortable side effects.

It's in your head... all of u... I've been taking these for over 7 years and when the switch came it changed NOTHING... nothing different. I can't believe this is a topic.

These yellow Qualtest tablets are worse than the white Watson brand! I started going thru extreme pain and slight withdrawl after 7 days. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me, until I really looked at what I was given, I thought they went back to the yellow Watson tablets and never gave it another thought. Then my pain kept getting worse over the next seven days, I called the pharmacist and they exchanged what I had left. The white tablets will never even come close to the yellow Watson brand but they are definitely better that the new Qualtest ones!!! Be care you will go through withdrawl with these if you've taken for awhile.
