White Watson 853 (Page 2)

Updated

So recently I received a white Watson 853 that looks identical to the yellow ones; size, shape, imprint. Everything checks out except it does not feel as strong as the yellow. I was then told that Watson is not manufacturing yellow ones anymore so I checked the Watson/actavis website. They had no info on white 853. Are these fake?

I have had the yellow V 853 pill and it worked for my pain. when I got a refill I was given the white pills and they do not work, I felt different, I got a head ache, was irritable, felt sick. there was nothing I could do, I was just out of my money and I have no insurance. The next time I went to walgreens and they had the yellow pills and everything was fine. One more time I needed pain pills I want to walgreens again and this time they wanted to give me the white pills, I said I would go some where else. so now I'm here on this page trying to get answers. Something illegal is going on!!!! people apart from not getting pain relief our hard working money is going down the drain.

Got new script yesterday... Took it to cvs and asked to see the pill before filling. They have the yellow pills there and life is better now.. Shame the manufacturer can't be held legally liable..

Yes, CVS has the yellow 10/325 pills with the V on one side and 3601 on the other side, get those because they ACTUALLY work unlike the new white watsons.

how bout someone set up a gofundme account? im not sure anyone will do it out of fear that someone will keep the money and not do anything about it. If we can get 40 people to agree to donate 10 bucks each that would be great but i dont think anyone will.

the white ones are much weaker,and I still have some yellow watsons left. If they are supposed to be the same why do the new white one crumble easier and have no bitter taste?I have tried others including qualitest and do not get near the pain relief. What to do now? I am tired of fighting. No where to go......greed still winning every battle.

WHY has there not been a recall yet? this is bs. i am out hundreds of dollars each month i cannot get medicaid or on disability and am not able to work. i go through ALOT each month to get pain relief this is beyond ridiculous how can this be legal? it cant be time to find more lawyers ..i have asked the fda why this has not been recalled yet and no answer. ive been waking from excruciating back pain for weeks now every day and has NEVER happened before they changed their pills..and i was on it for about a year.

Has anyone found a better Norco? Anyone try other stores to see what they have. I agree the yellow cvs pill Sucks.. They white Watsons are better..

If we could get together and test them we could sue.. Imagine the class action lawsuit.! Save your bottles!
