I had a few Watson brand left over, just received Ables, and noticed my daughter had Vintage. After calling around, my father had some mallies. So I swapped pill for pill, (of same strength hydro/apap) and did my own not-so-scientific testing. Taking into consideration variations in empty stomache, how bad I was feeling, or how bad the weather was, here was what I noticed:
Vintage and Ables did not seem to kick in as fast, but did seem to last longer. If I took them right before I went to work it frustrated me for the first hour or so, I was still aching and in pain and it was hard to act upbeat when my day was starting. On the upside, once I felt better I found myself going for quite awhile without that second dose.
Watson's and Mallies seemed to kick in faster and were easier to break in half. They hit after about a half hour but I found myself needing that second dose earlier in the day. I have restless leg syndrome at night and will break a pill in half if it is preventing me from sleeping. The Watson's and the Mallies seemed to work much better for this, I assume because of the fillers being more powdery and easily disolved.
That being said, I did not notice any difference between Vintage vs Ables nor Watsons vs Mallies. I did however, notice the difference in having them, and having to rely on OTC. So I will be happy with whatever I am sent that lets me move without pain, play with my kids, smile at customers, sleep at night, and, umm, play with my husband.
