i'm wondering if any vicodin addicts know about how the Watson brand became so famous among addicts. It's all the same from one company to another when it comes to prescription drugs.

Watson is cheaper, only comes in 7.5 (Vicodin ES vs. Watson 349) and 10mg (Vicodin HP vs. Watson 503) tabs....ummm. They both have the same content of hydrocodone and acetaminophen.

I don't really know, probably just a cost issue. I don't think either have a time releasing effect or maybe it has something to do with the coating.

I'm not comparing the Brand company to the generic companies i.e. Watson, that's another story. I'm just wondering why the Watson is preferred to other generic companies.

I don't think there is any other form of Vicodin but the one Watson makes, so those are probably the only options .

EDIT: Although there are other forms actually, I think that these are that it is the main generic replacement for the real thing.
