I have an acute and painful Osteoarthritis...my pain is so bad that my orthopedic surgeon stated that most people with x-rays like mine would be in a wheelchair but I tolerate pain more than most people. I have been taking Norco, a yellow pill from Watson Manufacturers and just refilled my prescription a few days ago. In the morning I admit that I can hardly walk when getting up from bed so I took one and it was as if I never took anything. So about an hour later I took another at which time I noticed the pill was white, still I did not have an relief at all. Called the pharmacist to see if they gave me the wrong medicine and was assured they didn't and she said that Watson is no longer using the yellow dye. I am not addicted to pain medicine as a matter of fact I did not take any after noon time all day long until this morning...I know there is a big difference! What do you suggest? Now I see one has to pay for an answer and certainly cannot afford that so thanks anyway
