Problem With White Norco

Updated

hi every one, I've been living with chronic pain for many years, DR's tried all kinds of med on me my problem is besides chronic pain I also have GI problem, so there is A lot of meds I can not take, long story short 2 months ego I went to my drug store to pic up my yellow Norco, but thy were white? I asked my drugs' what's this? he said you cant get yellow Norco any more, thy just took the dye out & i looked all over no one has yellow Norco any more, I figured what the hell I'll try it well not only it didn't help at all I got sick as dog ! vomiting dizziness you name it, last month out of desperation I told my pharmacist to order me brand I looked and saw thy were also white any way it coast me $450.00 dollars I couldn't believe how expensive thy were I had to charge it & it didn't help one bit ! yellow Norco is generic but it works on me my pain is so sever 24/7 I'm lucky if any med just take the edge off there is no way I can afford to pay $450.00 A month when it doesn't even work as well, my question is, why drug company's do that to people?? I'm 67 years old & not A drug addict I wish I never had to take anything, but for drug company's to play with people's life like this ? thy should be Ashamed of themselves and thy get away with it !! and there is nothing we can do about it, my DR put me on oxycodone but I'm so scared to take them I'm worried if I keep taking them thy might give withdrawer like in past I had it with citrine med, Norco never gave me withdrawer I don't what to do ? I wish I could do without any med but I cant if there is any one out there lives in NY & know where and how I can find the yellow Norco I would be very GREATFULL !!!

Hi everybody that has complained about the new white Norco. I just got off the phone with the pharmaceutical company (Norco) Watson has sold the company to (actavis) I spoke to a very nice gentleman. he took all of my info & he said he was glad I called to report this, I told him, why why ?? A company would change A med that agrees with you & give you a poison pill? I'm not the only one with the very bad side effect + not only does it not work but to make you sick as dog ? don't insult our intelligence by saying, oh we just took the dye out... I said BULL, NOT TRUE. Why don't you go online & see how many people have had bad side effects! & don't be surprised if all of us get together and bring A legal suit against the company. I for one will be the first to sign my name, if any one is interested to call them I have the # for you. It will do us all good. They might be forced to bring back the yellow Norco. Hope you're all with me on this, they should be ashamed of themselves to make people sicker than they already are!! Here is the # 862-261-7000. Good luck everyone.

HI I called the company about 6 months ago and was told the same thing that they just took out the dye I also told them that they don't work its like taking nothing so it doesn't seem like anything is going to be done

What you are looking for are Qualtest norco brand name or generic. My wife had no relief and the same bad reaction to the aurobindo norco..... If the pharma tells you the hydrocodone/actaminophen is the Aurobindo (brand) White Scored Oval (imprint) u03.....Do Not Fill your script!!!! I always ask what brand is the norco Before Filling the script. Anneal, Qualtest, and Watson are effective brands and quailty brands.

hi, when you took the white Norco did they make you sick at all ? b's not only they didn't work, most people had A very bad reaction, I told the man at the company , how sick I got + many many more people , that caught his attention, that's when he started to ask me A lot of questions he said I will report everything you told me, they are more interested to know if these whit Norco are hurting you physically, that's when they take you seriously ,,,but if you just say well they didn't work , then they can care less, not that i'm telling fake it not at all !! but I know what happened to me & other people I was reading about it we all had almost the same symptoms that's when I decided to call, b's this is very serious ! good luck,

Sorry to hear about your situation dee. From what I've been led to believe (and I could be wrong), the yellow Norco marked WATSON 853 was allegedly discontinued and replaced by the white WATSON 853 version, made by Actavis. So my assumption is that any pharmacies who still carry yellow WATSON 853 tabs are likely shuffling through older stockpiles.

On another note, there's also the yellow Qualitest version marked with V 36 01 that I think PatrickW was referring to in Post #3. From recent conversations I've had with other pain patients, this manufacturer's version still seems to be available (although not too common). Someone in another thread here reportedly got these ones filled at a Sav-On Pharmacy.

Hope this helps!

Thank you David, I sure will try calling and see if they have them, I tell you I have never ever been so sick on med in my life ever since they took away the yellow norco it's been A nightmare!!! I don't believe for one second that taking only the dye out can make Soo sick. My poor DR keeps changing my med. None of them agree with me. I did call Watson, they sold the company. I forget the name now, the one you mentioned. The man I spoke to took all my info, unfortunately there aren't enough people calling and complaining. I told him that I found out how many people are having the same problem with this Norco. He told me if we have enough complains from people & they would call here they might do something about it, but I guess people just don't call and complain. That's too bad. I know i'm despaired I just can't live with this horrible pain 24/7 and just 1 person complaining is not enough!! Anyway thanks again!!
