2012 Oxycodone 30mg Shortage In Florida (Page 17)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

My spouse, who is in severe, chronic pain, has been a customer of Walgreens for many years. We live in Pinellas County, Florida. Everyday this week we have driven from Walgreen's to Walgreen's trying to fill his prescription for Roxicodone 30mg, to no avail. I cannot get any help from his regular pharmacy. I know that it's dangerous for them to tell a total stranger which store has them in stock, but I don't understand since they know him, why they can't call around or give us any assistance. I am at a total loss as to what to do & would appreciate any information that you could provide. It is so hard to see him in so much pain. Thank you.

The reason why the abusers can find them & real ppl in pain can't is bc the drug dealers are willing to pay $6 and up per pill every1 is rite no one should have to go to pharmacy to pharmacy all day I use to do that but I found a great solution :-)

I heard from someone I haven't spoken to in a long time. They're getting their roxycodone 30 mg from a mail order pharmacy. Figures, this person does a lot of shadycrap, but most of us can't get the roxycodone. The pharmacy has filled my opana for the last 4 months now. When I went to pick them up, a young guy in front of me had 4 prescriptions, the pharmacist said no to him. I realize I'm fortunate at this point. I believe filling roxycodone at any local pharmacy is over for good. God bless

Linda, ask your Dr to switch you to Opana 5mgs its comparable strength wise to 10mgs of oxycodone

your in pain because the morphine 1r 30s are not as strong as the oxycodone 30s. 1 oxycodone 30mg is equal to 45 mgs of morphine orally. At this rate you would need 7.5 morphine ir 30s to replace the 5- 30 mg oxycodones.

I've read the whole thread and I'm quite troubled with what's going on in Florida right now. I'm from Joplin Mo, and we have kind of a unique situation right now. May 22, 2011 an F5 tornado took out 9200 homes and almost 1000 business. At least 200 people were killed, but the actual number is thought to be much higher. Of the businesses that were destroyed, the majority was Dr offices and clinics. Before the tornado we had a shortage of pain management doctors that was at a near critical level. Now, we have one. I have lupus and RA, and this Dr wanted nothing to do with me as he "only treats patients he can cure". Well isn't that nice. As a result, I drive to St Louis to see a pain management Dr there. It's 12 hours round trip, but there are no options. If at some point my pharmacy has some stupid rule about living in the same county as the Dr's office, I would be in real trouble. I do not, and will not, use Walgreen's. They do not care about the patients, the service is horrible, and I have other options. It scares me that one day the hell you guys in Florida are going thru could be my hell. I'm so sorry for what's happening down there.
I do get funny looks sometimes because of my age and the amount of narcotics prescribed to me. I'm 36, but I do look younger. I don't let it bother me because those who judge would be hard pressed to walk a mile in my shoes. And to the gentleman who is fixated on "pill mills" and "kids" who've never worked a day in their lives I ask you this. How do you know? I didn't ask for this. It was triggered by my pregnancy. Autoimmune is rampant in my family, but I thought I'd lucked out. I was wrong. If I had it to do all over again I wouldn't change a thing. My family is my world, my joy, my life. As of yet, I have been able to make do with Lortab, though I know at some point it will stop working for me. When it does, I certainly hope the gentleman with the fixation steps forward to tell me about myself.
With all the hardships you poor people are facing with pain, a "shortage" of meds, and the treatment you receive by your pharmacies, I can't believe how accepting you have been to those who rant their negativity on a site that is focused on how to fix this broken system. Kudos to you all. I hope and pray that this doesn't spread to other states, though I am very much afraid that it will. Mostly I pray for all of you, that you will find some relief from the pain, and find the strength to battle those who have taken away your quality of life. Good luck to you all, except that one guy:)

Are you in Tampa tater-salad? If so I know a pharmacy that will order & have opana. It just takes 2 days. I also have had the "radio frequency " or " nerve burning" cervical & lumbar. It does work better than sterile. I do both, lasts about 3 months for me.

All of the people in Pain that live in Florida - you can thanks the likes of Pam Bondi - our wonderful DA. She thinks is better just to stop the import of these narcotics for everybody because they can't stop the abuse. Narrow minded people with little common sense and even less concern for people who are in horrible pain.

You may want to try the home delivery perscription service from your insurance if possible, I'm trying to use mine for the first time this month!

Good Luck All!

DAN williams :
Angers me that you have fought for our country and you are not being taken care of. It actually angers me it for everyone that are legit and not able to get there medication. Is Boyton Beach to far for you? I know of a Dr. that has offices Davie and Boyton Beach. He is not afraid of writing prescriptions. As long as you have all of your ducks in a row. And he will turn anyone away if he feels that there is not a reason why you should be on these certain types of medication. His office does not take Health Insurance.Have to have updated MRI's. (this is what I had in my previous post for you - hopefully you get it)

@Dan, I'm on the other coast. I don't know much about the east coast of FL. I'm sorry! I hear it's all going to get better soon. I personally think it's not going go get better. It's been so abused, the druggies ruined it for cpp
For good. It's so messed up, if you're able to fill the oxycodone, my hope is you continue to get them. For the rest of us, I think we're screwed.
