Cannot Find A Pharmacy To Fill Oxycodone 30mg Near Detroit, Mi...help Please? (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

My husband received a script of Oxycodone 30 mg a few weeks ago from his surgeon and I cannot find a pharmacy to get them filled at. They mostly say they do not carry them or they are on back order. I have called everywhere. Any suggestions? Anyone know a pharmacy that carries it? Thanks in advance.

Yes there is a bunch of shady Pharms along 8 mile and Coolidge area which all of course are on the Detroit side and had many friends have similar incidents as you as well.

Miffed, hate to say this no pharmacy has to feel any perscription, the one your seeing probably knows something that is going on, and can't tell you about maybe an investigation going on!

So because pharmacists are not involved in medical trials, they do not know more about the medications than doctors? hmmm interesting. I have medical doctors calling me all the time asking for input on which medication to prescribe. Pharmacists do not just work in the retail setting (i.e. CVS, Rite Aid) filling junk such as oxycodone and Norcos for the pleasure of people to get them in order to sell. Pharmacists work in many setting, such as the ICU of hospitals where they are given full authority to dose antibiotic IV's and make medical decisions, trust me, I would know, I used to work in one. So do not dare say pharmacists are not doctors, because we are. In terms of the 20% rule, you are right. Most pharmacies will not just fill your pain prescription if you do not have maintenance medications with it. The Board of Pharmacy and DEA closely monitor pharmacies. Like I said, most (not all) people coming in to the pharmacy with their oxy's and any other pain pill do not need them. You can call it judging or whatever you want but I have been in this field long enough to determine who needs them and who does not.

Pharmacists are doctors of pharmacology not medical doctors, to say you know more about medications than a medical doctor is a gross misrepresentation. How many pharm d "doctors" are employed in r & d in the pharmaceutical industry. Pharmacists do not run trials on drugs, your about 4 years short in education and most doctors carry a pharmacy license you do not qualify for because you do not have the knowledge to administer the medication. You are a crossing guard, a safety net between the doctor and patient. You look out for your license and ensure the idea, the board and your supplier stay off your ass. You do not diagnose patients, nor do you have the ability. any pharmacist that questions a script it is only for the pharmacists protection. DO NOT CALL YOURSELF A DOCTOR!!! As far as finding oxycodone, if it is following a hospital procedure use the hospital pharmacy before you leave, in some hospitals they will honor a script from a doctor that retains privileges at that hospital. Keep all your scripts at one pharmacy and make sure the doctor writes the diagnosis codes on the script, or even ask that he call the pharmacy on your behalf. Secondly calling pharmacies is a dead end, the answer is always going to be no, they want to protect themselves from robbery so go in person. Choose pharmacies close to your doctors practice and give yourself a week to work on it. Pharmacies are under pressure to keep controlled substances no more than 20% of total business so the more scripts the better. When choosing insurance find out how well they pay on controlled substances AARP is horrid pharmacies avoid it because they make very little or lose money, total health pays well. For the record never ask a pharmacist to diagnose you, they are not educated enough and it is illegal on their part.

FYI, pharmacists are doctors. We have a doctorate degree in pharmacy and know more about the medications than medical doctors. Pharmacies will not fill a lot of oxycodone scripts because most of them (not all) are medically unnecessary. People pay off doctors just to write them oxycodone scripts to sell. So this is why a lot of scripts do not get filled. You can tell who needs them and who actually does not. Pharmacies are strictly regulated by the DEA and the board of pharmacy so there are limits on how many of these medications they can order.

Hi Jeff and I seen you were saying a Walgreens mail pharmacy works with the oxycodones 30 mg? How does this process work? And do you send them your script and they fill it via mail?

I had an experience today at the pharmacy I have been going to every month for ALL my scripts along with narcotics. I am 62 on pain mgmt. due to failed lumbar fusion. I entered..the pharmacist shouted "what do you need" which I would NOT yell my meds across the counter! He looked at the script and saw my doctor had changed me from Oxycontin to Oxycodone (MUCH CHEAPER) and I am currently weaning off this med so easier to work with. The pharmacist goes...Oh no!! Not THESE! and 120!! not today....MAYBE Monday and you KNOW you have ti refill all your other meds!!! I told him to give me my scripts and I WILL BE BACK TOMORROW to discuss with the pharmacy manager!! NO ONE is going to insinuate Iam an addict..he is not going to mis qoute the MICHIGAN LAWS and he is. NOT GOING TO DISRESPECT ME!!!! HE PICKED THE WRONG OLD LADY WITH A WALKER!!!! MORE TO FOLLOW.....

To Reasonswhy: That may be partially true. The reason I say this is because CVS and Walgreens are just as reluctant to help as the independents. I have six prescriptions. What good is it for CVS, or Walgreen's to honor my five prescriptions and not honor the controlled substance prescription? I am prescribed this medication for a specific reason. A legitimate one, chronic pain. Currently, I am with an independent. She is beginning to act rather strangely, questioning my doctor's therapy, attempting to limit my amount of medication. All this, after 3 years. I am not an abuser; never have been. I don't know about you, but I'm not willing to continue to take someone else's lumps; but I will own mine. Actually, this is a violation of the American Disabilities (ADA) Act. Our Federal DISABILITY RIGHTS are being VIOLATED and ERODED by the misinformed PUBLIC, and in most cases, intimidated doctors and pharmacists who lack the backbone to speak up to the DEA about the unfairness to the law-abiding, non abusing patients I'm not talking about the crooked ones. I'm tired of picking up their tabs.

Yes, in fact. It was told to a friend of mine. Find another pharmacist. Sounds like that rinky dink Griswold place on Washington Boulevard in Detroit. And NO; its not his call, . He's a Pharmacist; not a doctor!. You might think of filing a complaint against him with the State Pharmacy Board. Sooner or later, we're going to have to take a stand against these pharmacists who make unfounded and unfair assessments about our doctors pain management skills; while lacking sufficient individual medical information to intelligently make an assessment about our needs and denying us our legally prescribed and needed medication.

A FRIEND OF MINE TOLD ME THIS SAME STORY ABOUT GRISWOLD PHARMACY IN DETROIT. HE HAD BEEN WITH THIS INDEPENDENT FOR OVER 5 YEARS. HE WAS TOLD THIS SAME STORY. SOUNDS LIKE A VIOLATION OF THE AMERICAN DISABILITIES ACT. DISCRIMINATION AGAINST PERSONS WITH A DISABILITY; IN THIS CASE PAIN. I"M JUST SAYING . . . ALSO, I MUST ADD, THEY'RE PROBABLY EXPERIENCING ORDERING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR WHOLESALER AND ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS WITH THE DEA. MEANWHILE, WHO SUFFERS? THE PEOPLE WHO AREN'T ABUSERS; ARE IN PAIN AND THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN ARE UNABLE TO FIND A PHARMACIST TO FILL THEIR LEGITIMATE AND LAWFULLY PRESCRIBED PRESCRIPTIONS.

There is a mail service in Arizona. Takes a few days but I've used it a lot to get meds that pharmacies dont have. Its Walgreens mail service. Look up number and give them a call. They will give you the info and u can decide if you want to use it. I've never had a problem with them.

I live in Detroit and have a pharmacist who has told me he will only fill my prescription for 60 oxycodone pills rather than the 90 my doctor has prescribed. This pharmacy is a small independent one. Has anyone ran into this problem? I am going to switch to a larger pharmacy chain. I have been with this pharmacy for over 3 years. Has anyone heard of this b.s? Lately, he has even commented on my doctor's therapy decisions. Is this his call?
