Hi Five,

I didn't think that pharmacies were contracted in any way to get a specific brand ALL the time. I believe it might be a hit and miss, you will have to call some of them to see which brand they carry (I may be wrong).
I know my pharmacy used to carry pretty much one brand that they ordered from their distributor and for one reason or another the distributor changed the brand on them. It happened to be the one I used that they didn't get for a couple of months, I had asked them if they could order mine (Maillinckrodt) and they told me that they take what they get.

Hope you find the Watson brand for her!

Hugs from Texas,

Pam

Thank you kindly, you're right in a sense, but different pharmacies to have different brands available to them to order, not all of them can get all brands, it looks like walgreens can get Mylan and Watson currently, another local pharmacy can only Get Apotex or mylan, hopefully the other person in this thread that mentioned getting Watson's will chime in too. Thanks for your time :)

Tramadol,and nucynta made me feel crappy and the same withdrawals after a short amount of time. Fentanyl never really worked and gave me bad rashes, and never lasted 72 hours. Methadone was awful..I've had the best luck with hydro/oxy-codone,oxymorphone for LA, and morphine. That's my experience...

sad to say but at least where I live the pharmacies all carry the same thing and the is whatever the pharmaceuticals have on sale that delivery period. if one has one brand probably all the major pharmacies have the same.
