I just got some Watson's (ES generics) from tropicalrx.com.
I'm wondering if they are real. Don't even make my ears ring - like there is no codeine in them. No Doctors DEA number on the bottle either. I think they must just be straight Tylenol, that's all. Anyone have the same experience????

off white, oblong Watson 387, you could eat a handfull with no relief. I think they are Tylenol only. I sure hope this post doesn't get pulled

Where has justice gone, where does it hide? Where has justice gone, or is it just another lie?

FYI: I also confirmed that Watson 387 is hydro 7.5/750 which is generic vicodin ES.
I wonder how long it sat on the shelf or the 150 degree storage locker (years?). I still don't trust these OPs and think their pharmacies (Clinical Solutions in this case) buy expired medicine in bulk from some shady grey/black market and dump it on unsuspecting fools (like me) who buy from them over the internet at outrageous prices. I had their Watson 540 hydro 10/500s a few months back and also found them weak compared to what I had gotten from legitamite local drugstores. I could eat them like M&Ms with little effect. oh yeah, that reminds me of a random wish - why don't they make pure hydro without APAP like hydrocontin?
Here's another reason your pills may be weak: Most people try to get as much hydro as possible per pill at the prices these rip-off artists charge and I am sure the bulk of their hydro orders are for 10/500s (since I don't think they sell generic 10/325's), giving another reason why your 7.5/750s may be sitting around even longer once they get them out of the 150 degree storage lockers.

They do have hydro without APAP its called tusinex. But if you take the APAP out its no longer a schedule 3 but schedule 2.
Also the biggest seller is the 10/325 and they have generic for every variation of strength, the only time a med doesnt have a generic is when the manufacture still holds the patent (generally 10 years)
Now as for expired meds, its possible but unlikely, hydrocodone is one of the fastest selling drugs in the US, and there are all kinds of FDA regulations on preserving the quality of medications. All though you may have an argument with the heat in south Florida angle, if your meds are coming from there.

I just took another Watson 387 on an empty stomach this morning - NOTHING - except a crummy taste. I going to pitch the bottle.
Wish there would be something I could do to get the $139 charge off my credit card - In my case the product was a total rip off

Tussionex is a cough syrup with the active ingredient hydrocodone. It also contains an antihistimine (starts with a C) and is a schedule 3 just like vicodon.

Isn't vicodin a schedule 3 med?

Nope. The regulations don't say anything at all about APAP. Tussionex is a C-III because of the antihistamine they add. Try drinking a whole bottle at once and you'll find out why.
