I found a blue pill with "watson 540" written on its side. What type of pill is this?

That's Watson Pharmaceutical's version of Lortab, 10/500. 10 mg Hydrocodone, 500 mg acetaminophen. It's a painkiller that's known for making people unbelievably nauseated. In case you're wondering, I know what the pill looks like because I've had a prescription myself. Check it out for yourself, using the pill identification function at www.drugs.com. Hope that helps.

To the promoter of "not known for nausea," please take a look at the newly added material. And yea, I've had a prescription for the stuff here and there, from time to time, and guess what? There's always a "take with food or milk" type warning label on the bottle. Whenever I failed to heed the good advice, I always got a real pointed reminder about why it was given.

Google found more sources, but why belabor the point?

"I have a concern about the drug Hydrocodone/ Apap. I had a head injury in Feb. which has left me with severe headaches and was first put on Endocet 5/325. The dosage was one tablet every 4 hours as needed. My precription was changed to Hydrocodone/Apap 10/650, 2 tablets every 6-8 hours as needed.

Since starting the hydrocodone I have severe nausea and vomiting and never experienced this with the Endocet."

And last, the office druggie. He's not eloquent, but you'll get the idea.
(A sneezing fit? Right.)

The Only OneBillboard »Hydrozoned

My wrist was hurting this morning, and I was having a sneezing fit, so I took a hydrocodone tablet which was left over from my wisdom tooth debacle back in January.

OK, I’ll admit it: I took the tablet as much for recreational purposes as for these aches and pains.

I rode to work feeling fine, and at the office I felt better than fine — for a while. I tied up a lot of loose ends in the first hour.

Then the nausea began. I ate a sandwich around 9:30, and an apple at 10 o’clock. That helped, but I still felt sick. If I hadn’t had that food I’m sure I would have barfed in my trash can.

After drinking too much, nausea seems to increase if you lie down and close your eyes. But the hydrocodone nausea isn’t like that. I felt worse when trying to read or just look at a computer screen. I felt better when I closed my eyes and lay down on the floor.

So I locked my door and lay on the floor for about an hour. Normally I would have been bored silly, but as it was, I was perfectly content, except for the nausea of course. I was just as happy lying there doing nothing as I was getting lots of stuff done. Another aspect of the opioid buzz.

I almost went home sick, but instead I toughed it out. I thought that would be the mature thing to do. Yes, I know how ridiculous that sounds from a guy lying on the floor of his office zonked out on painkillers.

By noon I was mostly functional.

Note to self: Do not do this again. Unless you eat a really big breakfast.

Blue Watson 540 is Hydrocodone/Apap

Listen, "captain" obvious...people ae going to keep posting on this because that's what it's here for and why oh why are you even reading it AND posting a comment of your own referencing it as a forum for drug addicts??? Sounds like someone is in denial...

wow, perryman is a fag

Yeah, those are good.. i remember gettin tons of those from this dude.. make ya feel real good.. it's basically just vicodin with less tylenol than the normal more common white ones.. It is VERY addictive though if you take it long enough..watch out.. trying to get off this shit is a pain.. it's like trying to go without eating for a week.. very hard.

The pill you found is a Lortab, a common pain pill. It consists of hydrocodone and tylenol.

i have a prescription to this pill you have found, it is Lortab 10/500 also people say they get nauseated when taking this pill without eating or whatever, I take them all the time without eating and dont get sick or anything, I guess all people are different...

This is a 10 milligram/500 milligram pill of Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen(Tylenol). Hydrocodone is popularly known by the brand names of Vicodin and Lortab. It's a semi-syntheic opiate which is derived from codeine and is potentially addictive, though the risk of addiction from a no-refills prescription is essentially zero. Hydrocodone is a safe drug in doses up to and typically beyond 30 milligrams, even for somebody with no previous contact with it. It's not advised to go beyond 60 milligrams daily, although addicts who have developed tolerance have been known to go well beyond this. The acetaminophen present in this pill is the more dangerous of the two drugs for a recreational user, as more than 3000 milligrams, or 3 grams, can possibly damage your liver.

why after this posting has been answered over 3 years ago do you dumbasses keep posting what it is, and sharing your druggie stories. Its pathetic! go find something better to do like take these pills you all like so much and od so we dont have to read your stupid overdue comments! Thank You

Same here, I haven't yet experienced nausea with Hydrocodone 10mg/500mg on an empty stomach. On the other hand taking Motrin/Advil will get me every time!
As for the Tylenol, I've found information that says the max dose is 1000mg @ 4x daily or no more than 4000mg.

It's Awesome.
10 mg of Hydrocodone
500 mg of Acetaminophen

Brand Hydrocodone Watson 540 10/500 is in a group of drugs called narcotic pain relievers. Acetaminophen is a less potent pain reliever that increases the effects of hydrocodone. The combination of acetaminophen and hydrocodone is used to relieve moderate to severe pain.

I have been taking hydrocodone since i had my baby i had a sesection and then i had to take them for my two wisdom teeth that were pulled out so i have been taking them for a couple of monyhs and wen i dont take them i feel tired and im also on antidepressents and anxity meds ,my question is are they addictive and how do you know if you are and when i dont take them my body aces when i do take them i feel better i dont want to depend on them,what are the withdraw effects from hydrocodone and what could be recommended to get over this while its early enough to not have a hard time and feel like shit everyday ?

This is to the guy who calls himself captain...since you like to call everyone a dumbass for writing on this wall over 3 years ago..why are you on here reading everyones answers?? Lol...pretty pathetic yourself. I just went on here bc I had found this pill in my sisters room and then later found out it was from when she got her appendix out... so I googled it and this was the first thing that came up...and all the answers have help me...untill I came to yours and noticed how pathetic you are!!

Dude...go out to eat...get and movie...and lzy around the house.


Pop that shit.

Whenever you find a drug you're not familiar with, contact poison control, or a local pharmacy. If a pharmacy does not have the technology to identify the drug, they'll probably refer you to one that does.

Yes it is a painkiller with hydrocodone- and it does make alot of people sick but then again if your used to taking pills it wont mess with you, just as if your not used to taking narcotics it will mess with your stomach. I have used them for several years while going through cancer and when i first took them, it did make me sick, but now that i have had every pill under the sun it doesnt mess with me as bad. If it does upset your stomach try eating before taking it or shortly after you take it, may help!

To everybody bashing recreational users and addicts. You shouldn't wish ANYBODY sick. That's like me saying I hope your pain increases, lasts your whole life, and it gets harder for YOU to get your Hydro. I'm sure pain sufferers won't feel the way I do so you should all just f off and suffer in pain. Have a nice PAINFUL day a-holes! :(

what milliagram is it

hydrocodone/apap/10/500

This medicine is a narcotic

Do you have a DEA permit?

Why do you want to know? Do you have a prescription for this drug?
If this is not your medication, than you should not be taking it.
You need to speak with your local pharmacist.
