2012 Oxycodone 30mg Shortage In Florida (Page 35)

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.

Off topic bc of so many different stories of why most can't fill roxycodone.had dr appt last wk, and I was told still impossible to get roxycodone anywhere. The walgreens I dealt with for 2 yrs isnt comfortable filling them. The one 1 mile north said they no longer carry any c2's of any kind. Another in town said they haven't gotten them in.months. same corporation, 3 different bs stories. 6 months now w/o the 1 med that helped most. Been so off kilter with pain, nausea, tiredness, amongst other things. Sickening the drug dealers probably still selling them. So sick of it.

@ Dan,If oyu Find a good Pain Doctor Dan,Have them do steriod shots on your back an if that dont work,Have them Do the Electric Abalation,5yrs I had to take 4 oxycottin 80mg every 6 hrs along with 10 30s after bqack surgery I stopped the 30s an done the 80s,after the 2nd back surgery I kept doing them,I had the steriod shots done an it took the burning away an then a week later they did the Electric Abalation.If any of you havent tried to Have that done,Ask your pain Management Dr to Do it,I never thought nothing would work except a fusion,But it Helped me from being in chronic pain 24/7 an actually after 5yrs I was able to stop the 80s 7 days ago an now just take percocet 10/325 an dilaudia cause the electric procedure stopped all the chronic pain

There are oxycodone ir 20 mg tablets I have personally seen them here in FLA. I don't have to look it up but maybe its because you typed in roxicodone which is the brand name. I don't know for sure but the 20mg look just like the 30's do same size and color just have different marking on the pill. Similar to a215 and a214 except the 20 mg is also blue not green like the 15s.

Tater-I am aware of the shots and did recieve the injections which did not help me and i am disabled but having to wait to get medicaid until my hearing sometime in or around jan. 2013-few more months. then i will be able todo some of these other procedures to see if they help.
im a unique case. i was shot with a hollowpoint close range and the impact permantly displaced my neck/jaw. when i did have insurance prior to neck fusions we tried all the modern stuff but my neck was so bad and everyday i waited, more nerves would be dying and will get worse. so i had no choice but to go with the surgery. 4 fusions in the neck plate es and shrapnel in face to this day. so even after the surgery, my neck is still left with severe stenosis and the problem wasnt fixed so to speak after surgery. i was left in a world of hurt.
but basically, steroid shots were done both prior and post surgery. the other thing u said i cant afford to do this until my ssi hearing is won and recieve benefits. then sure i will at least try what your talking about.
i just hope the new dr im trying next month will listen to me about the meds that work for me and to stop recieving these 10/325 percs. i feel like telling him-look i dont have a toothache, i been shot in the head and neck. ive been in pain mangement since 2000 with top end insurance and i have been prescribed just about every type medication for my pain. out of all of the meds and which i can afford are the oxycodone 30mg ir. or if he doesnt wanna write those(thanx to all the junkies we cant get our meds) 8mg dilaudids 4-6 hours work well for me also and are very cheap. 1$ per pill from my pharmacist. hes eally nice guy.
so im praying that on my appt. since my current dr since day 1 3 months ago says to me i dont write oxycodone or dilaudid.
you can have oxycontin, morphine, percocet, methadone.
i took oxycontin 1 month and it was so weak and he adjusted the strength and then the cvs told me it was too high of a strength(they were 40's not even 60 or 80's) so i had to get switched back to something they have cause noone was filling the oxycontin or morphine so i took 120 10/325 percs(ironic the dr says he wont write oxycodone but thats exactly what im getting-generic percocet is oxycodone) and i need 2-3 tabs first thing in the am and then have 1 pill left till next morning. if he would just increase the dosage or switch me to dilaudid, ide be much better. he wont. so im going to new dr and will tell him this dr isnt managing my pain, plz help.

The group is doing a good job, i just dont play well with others i guess LOL!!. Join them if they will let you and see if you like it, some of the people in there are really great people. Other wise we all need to write our local and state Reps and tell them what is happening in all our own words. And we have to fight hard for our First Amendment Rights!

20 mg i assure u my friends is the exact same as the 30 mg just short 10mgs and cheap as they are over stocked because the 30's are in such demand. i have been taking 30mg for over 10 years. Then all of a sudden knowone had them(re: pharmacies) and if they did they were $6 - 10$ a pill my pharmacyst immediately suggested the 20 mg same A stamp bluish grey color and they are exactly same just 10mg diffrence and i paid $15 bucks with insurance for 150 just 2 weeks ago oct,1st 2012 walmart.. just have your dr make up diffrence in tab count or just deal with this stupid 120 max count but at least you are getting same med. some of us truly need it , it fires me up when i see these junkies with 500 30mg's and we cannot even geta single one from pharm for medicinal purposes. Somehow my dr because of my condition is able to to write up to 180 for me , but she must write on script( FOR CARE) this is in Orlando by the way.

@ Dan,I really hope for your sake your case goes through for you an you can get the treatment you need an the Meds you need,I know your pain,I have had the plates an screws in my neck an 2 major back surgeries that the last one made me worse then I thought I was,I went to get up 5 hours after surgery an felt something rip in my lower right back an couldn't lay back down on my back or right side,I told them an they just walked away,now my lower right back down my right leg is screwed for life,These pill Mills have runt it for everyone in this State,I was going to do the mail order an they told me they stopped 3months ago an will not do no more to this State because of the Drug problem,And this is the Only State that allows Pill mills to stay in Business,If the DEA an Goverment would Close them we wouldnt have a Shortage cause we wouldnt have all the Kids getting pills that have never worked a Day in there Life to have Pain-or haven't been shot or in a bad wreck to f there life up,But they continue to allow them to give 18yr old kids pain meds an over 200 at a time they should be charged with attemped Murder

I know there are 20mg oxycodone, my son in law took them. When I was having trouble finding the 30 mg for my disabled husband, I asked the pharmacist at Walgreens about them. She said there was no such thing. Thank God I finally found a place to fill his meds and after Walgreens has happily accepted about 168,000$ worth of Medicaid money for his meds over the last TEN years, suddenly....they don't want to give him what his Dr. prescribed? So yeay, I transferred all 12 of his scrips somewhere else. Walgreens? They can screw off, I will NEVER go into another one for the rest of my life.

Quick question: Has anyone been having trouble filling 10/325 percocet? My last script, I had to visit 4 different pharmacies until I found one with enough in stock. My normal pharmacy, CVS, said that they are having trouble stocking it since "everyone is scripting 10/325's now" due to shortage of other PKs.

The time is coming that no c2's will be a available. I see someone from GA posting now. A family member in NY told me she had trouble filling her 15 mg roxycodone this month after dealing with same pharmacy for years and only prescribed 90, 15 mg a month. If people think this problem is going away, think twice. What's going away is our right for pain management. By the beginning of the year, I hope things don't dry up completely. I've heard by then, they're really going to be cracking down on all c2's except for terminally ill patients. Look into ffpcan.
