Hydrocodone Gurus.

[Feelin-u4ia]

Ok I have been researching this now for atleast a few months looking thru many forums google, everywhere.

HYDROCODONE 10/325 (Norco)

How does everyfeel feel between the different brands which I will not mention as I believe it violates Blue lights rules, so what I will speak of is the differences between WHITE AND YELLOW, white pretty much covering most of the companies now days- thru all my research this is what I have found out

its a given that the ACTIVE ingredients in both colors is in fact 10/325, but 80% of posters claim yellows to be stronger, in legit useage and in recreational. only SOMEWHAT facts iv been reading alot is that the Yellows have a binding agent in the yellow dye that makes them some what extended release, which totally could make sense to me and iv heard this from multiple sources, that being said the whites should come on faster and hit you harder, but last a shorter duration, and vise versa for the yellows.

Point of this thread is to see if anyone has some hard facts or atleast good opinions between the two, because also not to mention prices or anything but Yellows seem to make the world go round as far as paying up would be concerned (again no price talk please, lets keep the thread open)

any opinions, facts, articles, proof? would be great! Cheers all

the difference is usually a brand name, and then the rest are generic.

i was reading a medical journal online the other day about this very same issue

i had gotten the yellow recently, and have also had the white. I feel personally there is not much difference.
the journal had stated, and if i can find it ill site and quote it after i post

The generic medication can have up to 30% more or less of the active and inactive ingredient
the generic can also have different fillers as long as it dosent affect the metabolic breakdown and the absorption of said product

but then i red a different sight and saw this

The difference between a brand-name product and a generic one is designed to be transparent. Once the patent life expires on a brand-name drug product, it is eligible to be made into a "generic drug." To do this, the generic drug manufacturer must ensure that the drug they are producing contains the same active ingredient(s) as the brand-name product, in the same dosage form, at the same dose or concentration, and for the same route of administration (for example, amoxicillin 500 milligram (oral) capsule). The drug may differ in color, shape, taste, inactive ingredients, preservatives and packaging, however. Because of these differences, the generic drug manufacturers are required to submit additional paperwork to the FDA to prove that their product is manufactured in accordance with good manufacturing practices (GMPs), and is as pure and stable as the brand-name product. Additionally, the generic needs to meet pharmacokinetic parameters in the body, which means it must dissolve (in a beaker) at the same rate and to the same extent as the original. This process ensures that the two products are bioequivalent because if product A and product B dissolve in a virtually identical manner, then they should behave the same in the body.

Thus, a drug that contains the same active ingredient, in the same amount, in the same form, dissolving at the same rate in equal amounts may be granted acceptance for substitution for a brand-name product. If it is accepted, the drug can be prescribed no differently than the brand-name product.

Could all be a placebo in our minds, a different reaction cause we all have different bodies, or the fillers could affect how the medication is absorbed. id just go to school to be a goddamn pharmacist if i knew id keep my hands off all the meds

Personally with tons and tons of hydrocodone use, I think this is the funniest most rediculous myth I constantly hear to this day! 1st of all the FDA approves generics that are the same make-up as brand name. So why would one with one color or name be different than the other when they're active and inactive ingredients don't differ? A name/color doesn't add potency or people would be dyeing their pills and carving different names in them. If the Name brands are stronger than all the generics, which are what's the most prevelant, would all be weak but the same, just crazy! In the 10 years and tens of thousands of narcos, and Lortabs I've had, only one time did I have brand name Vicodin that say Vicodin on the tablet, and Norcos say Norco. Vicodin is name brand for XMg/500apap, Norcos are XMg/325 apap. So don't fret the colors or words, if you got 5mg hydro it's not going to be different than any other, also there are zero Hydrocodone ER tabs out yet, they are still being tested.

I've been prescribed hydrocodone for about 1 year now. I am prescribed the 10/325 Narcos. At first my pharmacy gave the generic white Watson and I used these for months. They worked fine for the pain and I noticed a high. I did, however, notice early on that I'd feel more if I broke a pill in half and then took it. I didn't think much of it, though.

About a month ago, my pharmacy switched to the yellow hydros. I actually got high for 3 days before adjusting to them. I also don't have to break them in half to feel them. I feel like they digest better and are more effective because of it.

Not sure if this helps, but just wanted to post my experience.

The generic medication can have up to 30% more or less of the active and inactive ingredient

no, this is incorrect. generics contain the same amount of active ingredients as brand name. the issue is that in some generic extended release formulations (not an issue for any instant release product), the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) can differ by +/- 30%. But again, this only applies to some generic extended release products.

 

[falsifiedhypothesi]

I've felt no difference, I have only taken white and yellow 10/325's. to defeat any sort of filler or binder issues I dissolve them in an oral syringe and shoot it into my mouth.

For me, the whites had a little faster come up and stim like buzz with a shorter duration.
