I've noticed a lot of discussion about the different Hydrocodone Brands lately. I'm curious as to what Everyone's Favorite Brand is and Why?

I know this has been discussed in the past, but it seems like more people are taking some of the newer generics such as Qualitest.

Thanks for Voting!!!
What Is Your Favorite Hydrocodone Brand???
You may choose only one
Norco
Qualitest
Mallies
Watson

I picked watson, and I found ONE pharmacy around here that ACTUALLY keeps them in stock and I never knew, and that is TARGET'S pharmacy--go figure.

Of course, if I were as rich as some of my neighbors around here that are famous in the music industry, that will ONLY buy NAME BRAND-then of course I would too, and it irritates me to stand next to Lori Morgan while she is having a hissy fit because the pharmacist does not have enough to fill her script with NAME BRAND LORTAB, and she refuses to accept anything less--that has really happened--I have run into others, but she made more of a stink than anyone else I have run into.

I have taken watson, qualitest and millies, and got the qualitest because they were out of the watson brand, and I will never go back to watson. They are FAR superior in my opinion.

I've had Watsons 99.9999% of the time, but once and only once I received Mallies and was really disappointed. Disappointed, that is, until I actually took one. The Mallies in that bottle of 10/500s were without a doubt stronger than the Watsons I had just finished or the Watsons I received for my next refill. That was my only experience with Mallies, but if they're consistent with their quality, then make mine Mallies everytime! BTW, I asked the pharmacist why they had gone with Mallies and was told because they were cheaper. She said that they switched back mostly because older patients complained that the pills were "different" than what they were used to! Different not in quality mind you, but different LOOKING! Too bad.

I Prefer the Norco Brand and Definitely notice a difference. My girlfriend just stopped taking them recently for good. She preferred the Qualitest over all the others by far when she took them. I'm surprised that Watson has the Most Votes. I thought Norco would have been closer.

I have to admit I was a fan of Watson until I tried and then enjoyed Mallies for the following reasons:

1) Watsons are "hard" and get stuck in my throat sometimes.
2) Watsons seem to work only AFTER I eat while Mallies work before or after I eat.
3) Mallies seem stronger to me.

That's my experience. Your mileage may vary.

the watson 10's always make me sick (nausea). The norcos never have...that's the only difference i can tell. I think both of them work on the pain about the same.

The "robin eggs" 7.5/500 (with blue speckles) are by far the best. (I dont know who they're made by). But I've had every kind and 3 of these are way stronger than taking 2 10mg Norcos (or generics). IMO

99.999% of pharmicies here dispence watson...I can take them or leave them...however, I hear a lot of people rave about mallies...never had mallie hydro's..
I did order tylenol #3 from NDS when they were up and running, and they sent me mallies. God's honest truth, those mallie tylenol #3 were better than any hydro (except for the percodan (422) I took 30 years ago in the hospital, after an accident.

those speckled 7.5 robin eggs are qualitest(vintage} brand.they are the most like the real name brand, than any other generics.even color co-ordinated.the only difference between them and brand name is the fancy V on it.

I posed this comparison question to my local brick-n-mortar pharmacist, who I like and trust. She actually brought out two bulk bottles of the Watson 853s and the Norcos to for me to "visually inspect." Never has this happened to me before in a mainstream pharmacy! They don't stock Mallies or Vintage. I have one refill left on my scrip; also my drug insurance has ceased, so I had been opting for the 853s (10/325s) for the simple reason of price. The 853s are $36.94 for 50, the Norco brand is $87.00 at this pharmacy. But for the sake of comparison, for my next refill I will pony up the extra 50 bucks for the Norcos, then report back in this thread if I notice any difference.

Watson for sure - but I don't think I have ever even had the Norcos - so I can't pick from the complete group. But out of the others - Watson! I think the mallies don't work at all - I'd take the Qualitest over those any day!

Cixi, Check the price here with the discount card if you have to pay cash for them. In my area the price for 50 10/325 brand Norco with this card is 68.94 on the low end, that would save you around 20.00. You can print it out right over the internet and don't have to wait for the card in the mail. The generics would only be $20.00. You can price check in your area on the site. Remember also that Watson Brand generics are also made by the same company that makes the brand Norcos.
