2012 Oxycodone 30mg Shortage In Florida (Page 26)
(Newest replies first)

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.

If u are getting surgery, and since the doctors are aware of the circumstances with what is going on at the pharmacy's these days.....this should be discussed with the surgeon before hand, so there is stress on your part!!! He or she should be able to accommodate you, other wise if after surgery pain meds are left up to the patients to obtain, and, they have to run from pharmacy to pharmacy stressing out about the after surgery relief medicine......then who in their right mind would schedule a surgery with a surgeon? In other words given the set of circumstances going on at the pharmacy's.....and if my surgeon said" i can schedule your surgery, but u will be responsible for getting your own pain meds" I would say " F ThAT" !!!!! That is their responsibility to make sure the patient is going to go home, and rest comfortably after surgery!!!! Who would risk a back surgery, only to get home after surgery and be in severe pain??? No WAY!!!! And did you know there is a pharmacy in the hospitals? Think about it! There has to be!!!! Good luck!

In the past 2 days I have been to 18 pharmacies trying to get my oxy 30, 120 script filled. I have a history with one drug store for over 5 years without a problem ...not no one has the medication. I have stenosis of the cervical spine and am in severe chronic pain. I need my meds.
The DEA doesnt care about the real pain patients... they have cut us off as well as the abusers. How do we get attention to this matter?

panicpain,I asked about opana and all the pharmacists up here say they can't get that or dilaudid or any quick release.I still get a small amount of longterm and I can't believe that new guy gave it to me.Anyway couldn't fill that today either.I'm going to go around and try talking to some of these pharmacists.My record is clean like yours and this shouldn't be happening.They all told me last month they could fill my one script no problem and now it's a problem.this is ridiculous.

Dan, tell the Dr the percocet isn't relieving your pain. Drs know the legit pts from the drug seekers. You have rod in neck and percocet is supposed to keep your pain level tolerable? That makes me so angry. Get something else, I switched to opana, and @ least it's better than morphine, dilaudid, etc. It's part oxycodone and part dilaudid. It's expensive though, costs me 97 w/ insurance. It's all about the damn money, when I was paying 26 for same amt of roxycodone. I'll pray for you, and hope you can get better pain relief. Our basic right is being taken away. I can't believe this is America, the country I loved and my husband layed in a rice patty for a year in Vietnam and still has horrible flashbacks and lives with guilt everyday bc he fought for this country. Sorry for getting off topic, but we need to be heard. Let's all record our denials of getting rx's filled and post them. ffpcan org too.

I explained to Dr I had to wait 6 wks to get into pain mgt. And I was in so much pain and did it bc I was in pain.it's total bs that its not legal.alcohol is far worse in my opinion. Never heard of anyone od on weed. It's one of the worst things to have show up bc its a C1. He personally didn't think it was bad, but when the dea looks thru records, looks bad for Dr and for patient.

If u only took 1 puff, you'll be fine by next wk. Never admit that to Dr, its a c1, and it happened to me @ first appt. I was warned not to have it in my system again. You can buy a test kit for 20.00. I posted something else to you, but it needed further attention. Good luck, you'll be fine Dan. Peace.

@danwilliams, 1 hit of pot won't show up by next wk. Just be careful, my 1st appt I had w/ pain mgt, I tested positive for pot. The Dr explained it's a C1 drug, and he said it's the worst thing I could've tested positive for bc it's a C1. I explained I was in so much pain and had to wait 6.wks to get into pain mgt. He said he doesn't think it's bad, but.on paper, looks really bad if dea.comes.in and it's on record. Being it was my first appt, I was told if I ever tested.+ again, I was in violation of contract and would be discharged. I'm tested every month, and once in awhile I smoke a few days after appt and I'm fine. I was so nervous twice, I went to cvs and bought the marijuana test kit and am clean even if I smoke a few times in the first week. Don't admit to smoking, if u only took 1 hit and haven't smoked prior, you'll be fine. If you're nervous, the kit is $20, and test the day of appt so you're not a wreck about it. It's bs, pot should be legal. Alcohol does more damage than pot in my opinion. I never heard of anyone having pot poisoning, or dying from a pot overdose. Just trying to help, bc pot looks really bad in records. Good luck, it'll be OK.

Sickynurse, a few months back, my pain mgt center hired a new Dr. He came in room, and knew nothing about me, and cut my meds. I complained to the administrator, and never saw him again. They made sure I saw the other Dr on staff there. The Dr who cut me, and everyone else was let go. Let the staff know you're upset, and can't treated that way. If they want to keep you as a patient, they'll help you. God bless and speak up for your rights.

Ordering Percocet off a website is a scam. If you cant find them, you need to know someone who has the perscriptions but doesnt need them as much as you.
I know how to get them to you asap. email how many you need and where you live.
I am not selling these ofcourse as that would be illegal but I can mail them to you asap. I know what its like to be in pain. I know what it is like to need releif.

tater. i agree. but...i was an unfortunate victim going to one of these so called "pill mills" here in vero bch-the one that was closed down in june 27th 2012. and i was in no way tipped off that i was going to a pill mill. i pissed every month, doctor checked me and wrote my meds. it seemed as legit as any of the other doctor offices ive been going to since 2000. i hear you with these kids getting rx filled and selling them but i think those days are gone now. that sux bout dea getting shut down the mail order. what are we suppose to do now that the dea shut down every avenue of getting the meds we need. im disabled awaiting my medicaid which is still months away. in the last year, the counbty health dept referred me to the doctor who was shut down and noone will take any of the patients that went there-legit or not. this entire situation is bs. dea ruins lives and hope they get whats coming to them
