Disabled Fiance Has Taken These Meds For Ten Years And Now There Is A 180 Pill Limit?? (Page 2)

My fiance has permanent spinal cord and nerve damage from a spinal fusion surgery in 2001. He was a very active, happy, outgoing person, now he lays in bed 24/7 and suffers. He has been on meds for a very long time and they have had to increase them due to his tolerance level. he has gone to the same Dr. and we have always used the same pharmacy. Today we went to his monthly visit and his Dr. said she had to cut his 360 methadone to 180, and his 240 30 mg oxycodone to 180. because the DEA has decided this is what he should take. She did not want to do it, but said the pharmacy would not fill it. We tried but she was right. they would not fill it. So we went back and got the 180 scripts but then she would not even fill those. His Dr.appt was on a Tuesday last month because of the holiday, but has always been on a monday before this. Even though it's 27 days they have always filled them before knowing that was his regular schedule, but not today. My worry is now that we had no problem getting the meds on Monday morning, but now we will have to try to find them on Tuesdays. Plus now he is going to be VERY sick, and probably suicidal. He was already miserable, and now he will probably be having withdrawels while taking his meds. So he will either just be sick OR take his meds the regular way and then run out halfway through the month. Then he will try to kill himself, he has tried before. Has anyone else been told they can only fill 180 pills of any kind of pain meds? This is so wrong for the DEA to do this to sick people that cannot help what has happened to them. I dont give a crap about any addicts or dealers, I only care about him And this is WRONG.

This happend to me, only way. Around it is to have them give you less but in a higher millagram it will be as equivalent... hope this helps, also if his disabled medicare/ssi insurance. Shoud cover med costs. Get the plan that you dont need regular prior authorization ea month or every few.

I can relate i just went from 6 30mg oxycodone tabs to 3 oxycodone 10mg tabs i felt so enraged then scared back n forth as i knew i was just sent into some opiate withdrawals for sure not to mention some wicked ass nerve pain fr my arse to my toes big time. My doc walked in said hes closing up shop in 5 days but he knew this for 6mos n didnt tell us etc. The new i**** doctor he referred us too was a shrek jerkoff. Ive been scrambling to find subtex to fight off withdrawals but the streets only have strips. I considered blowing my brains out as doctors dont care and not a soul but someone in my shoes would ever understand. Now i see how lots people end up on illicit drugs and it has nothing to do with character or morals as how do u function when ur doctor just pulled ur card n said have nice day? The i**** my doc sent me to brought in his old patients one by one and said here's 90 oxycodone for 30 days? it was rhe standard cocktail regardless what folks bodies were accustomed too it seems its a crime or at least unethical but who am i but a doctors income a social sec number on his paperwork so they dont care. Does a doctor care that most of us have served our country and or may have been police officers that sacrificed our bodies to the point that one is a walking medical nightmare? No course not a doctor is more comcerned about the new rims for his bmw or maybe happy hour margaritas hes earned it right? We are just the livestock peasants and its worse with this new opiate bs house bill crap that bureaucrats have devised for us the pain livestock see the i**** government minus a medical degree minus an md license knows whats right for you and your families right! So we have a choice right? The government is supposed to be OF THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE and not just legislators that make laws that screw people BUT THATS EXACTLY what they are doing so UNTIL WE SPEAK UP AND WE HAVE A VOICE NOTHING WILL CHANGE! if u allow govt to make decisions for me you and your doctors then cool rollover for me take it. I for one am not a lame thats gonna allow some punk dea cop whose 25yrs old wet behind ears to dictate to me or what the hell i should be getting fr my doctor. Who cares who sells pills or abuses them, what does that have to do with sick people disabled people etc. People abuse alcohol and we have i****s killing people but you'll never see it removed from society, never. I'm a veteran of armed forces and retired fr law enf and i have become disabled for life and i hate my own country now. I hate the united states i hate our govt and i hate what we allow our govt to impose on us. I ruined my life serving my country and the city i worked for as my injuries came fr both and yet i figured i could live out my days at least taking meds that ease the bad pain but no instead im a pawn in the middle of the dea's war and assault on sick disabled etc the doctors are treated like dope dealers for helping others what the hell is wrong w that picture? Really. Our doctors are scared by the nazis of our time its beyond ridiculous and just look at the illicit drug epidemic oh boy the feds have done a great job! Is it me or am i missing something..

Thank you everyone for your comments. I don't feel so alone in this problem. I suffer from "complex migraine syndrome" which basically is if the migraines aren't controlled they lead to seizures. It's not epilepsy, but seizures that have been so debilitating its caused temporary memory loss and the ability to speak or communicate. And that puts me in the hospital. To control this, my doctor has me in Fiorinal with codeine and Depekote for the seizures. Just this month my insurance company decided that my doctor has to give pre-authorization before they will cover it. I've been getting these two scripts for over a year. Without coverage the football is over 70.00 for 30 pills. I understand them having to monitor the meds but the medicine is specifically for migraines and it's taken on a schedule. They(insurance) actually told me that they would cover a different narcotic that is stronger for migraines like stadium for a while. That makes no sense. So frustrating!!!!
