2012 Oxycodone 30mg Shortage In Florida (Page 27)
(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.

no mail order is no longer avalible to the state of florida,sorry f DEA closes the pharmacies close the f pill mills then they wouldnt be a shortage in florida-then all these punks couldnt just go in an get scripts wrote to them from other states,the pill mills are the ones that runt the oxys for everyone who is chronic an has real pain,f punks just out of high school or guit going to school an never worked a day in there life,they dont care who they give pills to cause as long as you got the money to pay them,you can get scripts,DEA office as all Idiots working in there,they close pharmacies for giving out to many but leave the so Called Doctors keep writting them,But Take it out on the pharmacy for doing there Job,Thats what there in business for is to give people there meds,DEA has it all backwards just like there f brain is the small pea brain they got

John, I thought. Of the same idea, law suite, after my walhreens of 14 years 10 of which I've. Been on pain mess, told me I had to have cancer for him to fill my scrip next time. Then when I changed it to hydromorpone he made me pick up ALL the scrips I had ready for later that week. I did call corporate office, they told me neither of this were their policy. I ended up being alergic to hydromorphone anyway. But since have found a small caring pharmacy.

Panicnpain, I'm so sorry you don't have the support @ home where we all need it the most. I found myself feeling the same, when I couldn't refill my oxy scrip. & I actually have a wonderful supportive husband. I would have ended it all w/o him. It has nothing to do with you being "weak " living with pain, going through withdraws, and depression are so very real. It takes so much out of you. I live in Tampa, & have a great pain management Dr & just found a caring wonderful pharmacy. Tell me if I can give u their names if that will help. God bless you. Hang in there. In our darkest moments, there will always be light. Please just keep looking for it.

I recently ordered Oxycodone 40mg and 80mg from an Indian supplier and quality is good. Planning on ordering Vicodin this week. They do drop shipping and their prices are affordable..

This is my 10th day driving around to multiple pharmacies to fill my oxycodone. I've decided that each time a pharmacist denies my prescription with trash talking lies, I going to use their NAME!! Each time anyone Googles their name others will know who they really are. So, Use their NAMES, they will stop the bulls&%t.

I had the same problem with walgreens e been @ the same pharmacy tor 14 years. Been on oxycodone for 5 Years. The jerk new pharmacist told me he would only fill it next time to people with cancer! That was 3 months ago. I tried hydrocodone, he would fill it but only if I picked up all my mess that day ( I'm on 9 meds. High bo & ibs) I cant afford to pick them all op @ same time. I ennded up calling corporate office. He was wrong on both counts. I am so over walgreens treating me like I'm buying iligal drugs. I stopped in a mom & pop type pharmacy & wow! They actually treated me with respect, told me about. Other drugs to try until they are able to get oxy in. I ended up being alergic to hydrmophone, trying morphine now & I hats it, feel stoned & sleepy w/o hardly any pain relief. Moral of the story ...... boycott walgreens, find a small privately owned pharmacy. They actually care about you, want your business, & you are not just a number. I love this new pharmacy even though it's still hard to get the mess that work for me.

my family lives in hernando county and says its terrible there trying to find a pain management doctor. i am disabled awaiting my ssi and medicaid so i only have blue cross...limited benefits no major medical so it wont cover injections, radio waves, etc.
besides i had injections before and thats why i had to have a 4 level fusion in my neck. roxicodone is the only drug that for 12 years has worked well for me(includes old formula oxycontin) and its affordable. and dilaudid works also but not as well. can you give me the dr name in hernando county so i can make an appt. and at least call to see how much hes charging per visit. my insurance only covers 50$ per visit so really need a doctor.
anyone know a doctor in indian river county or st. lucie county. thanx.

Inagony, thanks for your wanting to help. I've been using walmart for 10+ yrs and they're very nice and know me, but tell me they don't carry roxycodone. I also shop in publix, and they don't carry them either. Walgreens really screwed most of us, as that's who I used since first going to pain mgt. I'm now using a small pharmacy, and am worried he'll stop filling for me when I go back next week. Already commented how it doesn't "look good" I'm only filling 1 short acting rx. I told him I will use him for my muscle relaxers I need a new rx for next wk. I explained I get my lyrica and other meds thru the V.A. for free. It's bad enough I can no longer get the one med that doesn't make me so ill like this opana does. Now, bc I go every 28 days, next month I don't know how I'll make it thru the month having to pay dr and 97.00 for opana twice in October. Living on a disability check and my husband is also very sick, I'm ready to call it quits. Between the pain, vomiting and feeling sick and bedridden, I'm running out of hope. To add to that, my husband is angry bc he's sick, and calls me an addict. I do everything for this man, cook clean, laundry, shop. Allwhile I'm dying inside. I belong to Donna's group, it's hard for me to be proactive there, as it's my dirty secret I'm in chronic pain. The few that do know, say just be stronger and stop being so weak. It hurts me mentally, and I've had a panic disorder for 20 yrs and have depression. I know there are ppl worse of than I, so I pray for all of you. My life has really unraveled since may, when I could no longer fill my roxycodone rx. Now life is almost unbearable. God bless.you all.

@kaesue...if U don't mind me asking..what is your Drs name and is he board certified?? I have had over 70 injections in my back. Nerve block..faccet....stereiods....to the point I started loosing my hair. Surgery is the ONLY option left which is a ALIF. Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion in which a cage will be inserted to replace my L5-S1. My spine is a mess...also have horrible nerve damage in my right side along with the curveture of my neck being the opposite way. It causes severe migraines and also nerve damage in both my arms and hands. Looking for a DR that will HELP me...not just feed me medicaton..Thanks..Lisa

I also have severe neck and lower back problems. I have a pain dr. who does a new procedure with radio wave. I had it done on my neck (in his office) and it was great and lasted about 9 months. I am going back to do it again for both neck and lower back. I still take meds, but at a lower dosage. Try to find a pain specialist who can do this procedure. Well worth it! I live in Hernando County, north of Tampa.

i give up...my only suggestion is move to another country since this problem seems like it only gets worse not better. i guess the govt just doesnt care about suffering people. anyone have any suggestions.
as others stated, even if you are lucky and get a rx, good luck filling it. and if you are lucky filling this month, good luck on filling them next month...ridiculous.
amazing the drug dealers on the street have them plentiful and simply love this situation as they know desperate people in pain will pay and they just profit more and more by the day...your right the only people able to afford them at that price are selling them...unless they are rich or have insurance that will pay for them. very depressing staring at the ceiling in pain day after day with the street and risking freedom is the only way to get relief. sad state of affairs and seems like nowhere to turn and no answers to fix this problem with us not being able to get meds legally.
