Watson 853 White Or Yellow Pill (Page 3)

Updated

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.

I too have taken yellow Norcos without issues for several years- the ones they have given me the last 6 mos make me itch and do not help with my pain nearly as much. Sad to give people who are trying to live a productive life with pain one more thing to deal with!

I agree those white watson 853 are complete junk. The yellow ones worked great for me but most pharmacies no longer carry them. Try the M367 pills. I found them to work just as great as the yellow ones. Walmart and Safeway pharmacy carries them.

my pain doctor told me that the formulation of hydrocodone used by watson (and many if not all other brands) has been altered because addicts on the street were looking for the original - that's it in a nutshell - no one will ever find the old hydrocodone - not as long as this opioid crisis is killing so many people
