It's most likely an acetaminophen 650mg / pentazocine 25mg tablet. It is a narcotic (opioid analgesic) drug used to treat mild to moderate severe pain.
You can always call your local pharmacy too and have them identify it over the phone for you.
Check out this link for a picture of it:

Generic Name: Pentazocine, Acetaminophen
Strength: 25 mg, 650 mg
Manufacturer: Watson Pharmaceuticals
Trade Name: N/A
Type: Analgesic
Class: RX, CIV
Comment: Imprint Watson 396 25650, Watson 396 25/650
This means it has 25 mg of Pentazocine and 650 mg of Acetaminophen.
Pentazocine is a synthetically-prepared narcotic (opioid analgesic) drug used to treat mild to moderate severe pain. Pentazocine is sold under several brand names, such as Talwin.
Combining pentazocine with the antihistamine tripellenamine (most commonly dispensed under the brand name Pyribenzamine) produces a euphoric sensation much like that brought on by heroin.
Adverse effects are similar to those of morphine, but Pentazocine may be more likely to cause hallucinations and other psychotomimetic effects; cardiovascular effects make it unsuitable for use in myocardial infarction. Unlike morphine its respiratory depressant action is subject to a "ceiling" effect.
Pentazocine is still classified in Schedule IV under the Controlled Substances Act in the United States, even with the addition of the naloxone. Internationally, pentazocine is a Schedule III drug under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances.
Be careful!

Go to Drugs.com They have a place where you can input the imprinted numbers/letter on the tablets and also what the tablet is shaped like, etc. It will bring up what the med is. Good luck!
