I have joined on facebook I even posted a response to the welcome Donna sent me I had to drive back to my Dr office today and spend more gas money just to get put on dilaudid and now none of the pharmacies have those either. I have even spoken to the Obama campaign people and have stopped helping to work for the campaign as a stand against the U.S. They had the nerve to tell me to call 211!!! I mean get serious I have cancer I get three shots in my stomach every other week for the first week after I end up on my bathroom floor hugging and sleeping on my toilet. I will do whatever it takes to help us and as I have said I am in school for my law degree so mark my words I will be heard!!!!! Everyone keep your heads up Im one determined woman.

Dear Anon Pharmacist. I totally agree about having a long acting med and breakthrough med.That is proper PM. I have a few questuons for you as I am a state leader for the American Pain foundation for Florida. I have a support group of 80 legitimate patients.
I have had a 3 way conference with joy Tootle excutive director with DOH and the executive directorMark Whittman of the BOP. Both of them have stated to me that there are no laws on alottments or limits to who much oxycodone or any other pain med a pharmacy can order. Now over 800 people have signed a petition and questionaire about this problem. All of them are saying the same the things. Speaking of allotments, profiling and discrimination against them to the point of being called addicts when they have cancer and other types of serious pain issues. Wouldn't those executives know if there were these rules? Or is this something that pharmacies and the DEA came up with? The whole conversation I had with these 2 do not correspond with that part your telling us. I wonder why they would say that?
As for 180 roxicodone, I need that. Since they have changed the formulas of the oxycontin. It's not nearly effective and does not last long enough. I used to be able to take 3 or 4 roxy a day and be fine. Now they have reformulated Opana and now the reports have said that is basically ineffective too. I can't handle the fatigue and side effects of many other pain medicines like morphine or methadone. So I don't have many choices here of good pain medicines. That is why more breakthrough is being needed. In fact my mother has horrible pain. She is elderly and when the first new oxycontin came out some new ones were mixed in with old formula. My mother asked me why she was feeling so badly. It turned out that the new OP brand were causing her to have withdraw symptoms. My mother gets 180 roxy because of that problem as well. So maybe the pharmacists don't know that the new reformulated meds aren't as effective. That is what is causing alot of this problem.
I do agree that when a long acting med that works properly then less breakthrough would be needed. Pharma Perdue knows about this. I don't know what they can do about it. The doctors don't want to give more 3 main meds a day and if these new drugs aren't working as well, then the patient would need be rasied to higher a dose. Then the pharmacies would complain about that.
So there is a med problem, DEA problem and pharmacy problem. Something has to give here.
I'm sure you know that Florida has more pain patients than other states. People with pain come here for the weather and to retire.
The Institute of Medicine has reported that 100 million people have chronic pain on a daily basis not including veterans, pallative care, and people under the age 18. With that being said, there are alot of pain patients in the USA today. This is a silent epidemic and seems because of all the stigma it will remain this way. The American Pain Foundation has a new web project coming out soon. It will show in real time just who, how many, where the problems lye with doctors and pharmacies. I think it will prove to the world that pain is very widespread. The baby boomer population is aging and auto accidents are the leading cause death. So those severely injured people need medicines. I work very closely with The American Academy of Pain management executive director Bob Twillman on these medicine issues. More education needs to be given to patients, specialists and pharmacist. So they all know how to prescribe pain medicine safely. Patients are being taught to lock these up their meds in safes and not the medicine cabinet. Florida legitimate patients need to be able to get their medicines. Why don't the pharmacies help the doctors and patients fight for rights to pain care? The population has grown since the last statistics were put out on oxycodone. A lot less is needed in Florida because many pill mills have been shut down now. Everyone getting educated will help the communities to learn about the medications to treat pain.Thank you for posting Anon. I hope you respond and tell us why the state is not telling us what you are being told. Those are not laws. That's what I told. It's either pharmacies or the DEA.If the DEA is changing the rules, then why isn't this listed in the new laws? Someone is not being honest. No laws say how much is allowed in our state or anything on alottments.
According to the DOH Florida had 5 million people with pain. That was back in 2009 when that was reported. I honestly feel that the media needs to stop reporting OLD news and stats. They are ancient now but they are still pounding it in the heads of citizens. Things have changed and they need to report this. Thanks again for your time and posting to this thread.

After reading this again. I also have to say, that one size doen't all patients. This is where education comes in. Addiction is different than dependancy. The longer the patient needs to remain on therapy with pain meds, a tolerance occurs, the good news is... That most people do reach a threshold that they can remain at for many years. It's normal for chronic patients to need a higher dose because if chronic pain conditions are not curable then the patient could possibly be on the medications for the rest of their life unless a cure is found or they are healed. I don't think a doctor a should start any patient on long acting meds unless they expect for the condition to remain. If someone is expected to recover, then there is nothing wrong with putting them 180 roxicodone because they can be weaned down as they heal. So that could why many doctors chose not to add a long acting medication. That makes perfect sense. So, I think Pharmacists need to think everything out before judging how much much medicine a patients needs. Board certified pain specialists should know more than a pharmacist I would think.

Dear Anon,
Thank you for taking the time to write to this board and explaining your perspective. I appreciate your answering some of the questions that I have been trying to understand. When a person has suddenly been given numerous conflicting excuses as to why they can’t have their legal prescriptions filled, it is perplexing and confusing and leaves one feeling disillusioned with the pharmacists and the pharmacy, especially when they are experiencing severe pain. I’ve learned since being struck with chronic pain that people in pain tend to complain A LOT! And when they are in pain and they are denied their perfectly legitimate prescriptions the situation at hand automatically gets magnified. Stress increases and pain levels rise. I imagine you have seen your share of angry pain patients but perhaps not experienced the outrage and the terror that ensues within that patient.
I also appreciate your saying that you want to help those of us who take Oxycodone. You wrote “As your pharmacist (and there is a possibility I am since I work here in Florida), I WANT to work with you to achieve pain control and I DO NOT want you to have to drive to more than one pharmacy to do it.†That means so much to me because since not being able to find my prescription for Oxycodone [and I am not prescribed anywhere near the levels you mention in your second point], I have had to revert back to my old prescription and it just is not working well enough for me to function let alone being able to drive to multiple pharmacies each month.
I would like to ask you a question, though. In your first point you say, “I reject patients daily not because I don't want to help, but because there are too many oxycodone prescriptions being written these days.†You also say “I dispense to 25 patients per month because the DEA will not allow me to order more drug because I am a high dispensing pharmacy. Pharmacies are restricted in ordering because of quantity limitations each month and year. I reject between 75 and 100 patents per month (3-4 times the amount of patients I dispense to). I do not have the ability to take care of this many oxycodone patients. No pharmacy in the state of Florida is allowed to order enough oxycodone to service all of the patients that come asking for it. You often are being rejected because there are too many patients on the same medication. I promise you that if 75% of oxycodone patients stopped getting it, the other 25% would have no problem anymore getting it.†That is a logical point but when looked at from the reality of the situation, it seems to me that it would be near impossible for and grossly unfair to the 75% of chronic pain patients who are being denied their prescriptions and forced to change their medication and frankly a LOT to ask of doctor’s treating these patients. Virtually all pain prescriptions are written by Pain Management Specialists, with most of them Board Certified in Pain Management. I highly doubt that the majority of the specialists who treat that 75% are prescribing Oxycodone for trivial or non-essential reasons.
Your statement about Florida prescribing 90% of Oxycodone may be true and I am no expert but many valid reasons could exist for that. Our state is a large one, with a huge coastline, where people come to retire and live their later years. The “Sunshine Factor†brings many disabled and ill people to Florida for the climate. Most of the people in Florida have worked blue collar jobs in such fields as construction, agriculture and the fishing industry, leading to painful conditions. There are many family members coming down to be caregivers for relatives for an extended stay. We all know there are “Snowbirds†who share a home in Florida with their home in another state. These and many other life-related situations could surely be a reason for Florida’s increased need for narcotic pain medication such as Oxycodone. Yes, there has been a pill mill problem here but with all the DEA’s crackdowns in the past 2 years, haven’t all of them been shut down by now and the questionable doctors arrested and no longer practicing? Drug abuse continues to be a problem but street Oxycodone use has abated. There has also been the database to track prescriptions for narcotics.
Also, the question of interfering with the doctor-patient relationship comes in to question. I certainly rely on my pharmacist to be educated in pharmacology and with my personal medication, allergies, etc. and am extremely appreciative of his or her skill in that regard but I also believe firmly that no one should come between my doctor and myself unless, of course it is an emergency situation.
But my biggest question is this. It is my understanding that there is no limit on the amount of Oxycodone that may be dispensed to pharmacies by law. Yet, you say the DEA has limited your supply. So, I am a little confused here. If there is no law preventing it, why is the DEA limiting your quantity?
I also am a little concerned about your personal feelings towards prescribing Oxycodone and/or your belief in the need to prescribe less. Please tell me, if the DEA did NOT limit you to only 25% of your customers’ Oxycodone needs, would you then fulfill all of your customers’ prescriptions for Oxycodone? I say “all†but I mean, within reason allowing for obvious criminal intent. I am trying to understand if your personal beliefs interfere with your adherence to law.
I believe that the answer to this critical problem lies with all parties working together, not against one another and that can only be done when we are all dealing with the truth. Currently, thousands of people in the State of Florida are suffering because of this crazed and inhumane situation. The sad result of this crisis is that more people will suffer and more people will die needlessly. So I would very much appreciate it if you would enlighten me as I look forward to having a continued good relationship with my own and all pharmacists.

Sincerely,
hatesusernames

Exactly right just because i am young looking and have a pierced nose and labret and blonde hair not in a wheel chair or using my cane at all timea does not give the pharmacist the right to tirn me away as an addict. i have had the same piercings for over ten years and they are yellow gold with diamonds. i drive a 2010 Nissan Exterra I hate that a I am feeling like I have to go into a pharmacy looking like a scumbag and use my cane in order to not be looked down upon as a junkie. My fiance tried to get my meds filled yesterday and ge was in his work uniform still and the pharmacist turned him away also and he works as a temperture controls installation guy for a prominent Fort Myers company. He was so embarassed but I am disabled and the longer I am having to wait to find my medication the harder it has become for ne to get up out of bed much less drive and take care of our three boys. Please help if anyone has any idea as to where I can go in Cape Coral and that is relatively close to my home in NW Cape I would so appeciate it since I will have to get a cab. :(

"I dispense to 25 patients per month because the DEA will not allow me to order more drug because I am a high dispensing pharmacy." This is the main point, we need to work and force legislators that have never taken a CPR class to stop passing legislation that handcuffs doctors and pharmacists from doing what they can to help their patients. They want to help people but they cannot because the DEA will not allow them to do their job.

Very well thought out and articulated HATEUSERNAMES, bravo. I was prescribed 180mg oxycodone for over five years through a Dr who works in many of the Tampa Bay area hospitals as an anesthesiologist and has his own pain management practice. His card gives the credentials "Diplomate of the American Board of Aneshesiology Subspecialty Board of Pain Medicine". About a year ago I decided I could get by with less medicine and asked for him to cut me back to 120mg oxycodone (now I wish I had kept quiet and built up an emergency supply with the excess from each month.... I guess that's what I get for being honest about my pain and needs) My question is to the pharmacist or anyone that can provide an answer for that matter. If what I am prescribed isn't necessary and or inappropriate how was I to possibly know this not being educated in medicine (I studied law like Bridgette). I didn't just go to anyone for pain management. I found the Dr in my area with the best credentials that was accepting new patients at the time. IF you give me the benefit of the doubt that I am legit and my Dr is legit (used to think that was a given what with the documentation I can and have provided including to a federal disability court judge, however I guess not in the current climate) explain to me why I have not been fortunate enough to be one of the pharmacist's that posted "lucky" 25 out of a 100 attempting to fill this prescription, or at any other pharmacy in a 30 mile radius for that matter. I obviously have medicare being on Social Security Disability so I'm not cash pay. I am clean cut. I have never been rude or expressed anger to any pharmacist, constructive frustration sure. I am always polite and understanding in my dealings with this situation as I understand it's obviously being controlled from above suddenly as it wasn't an issue the first five years of my situation. Whether my Dr is wrong or the people that control the supply (DEA whoever) are in the wrong, either way I am being completely let down by the health care system somewhere along the way through no fault of my own. I have an honest need for pain management. I guess I fall into that 75% of oxycodone patients that should just stop getting it, so the other 25% would have no problem anymore getting it (quote from the pharmacist that posted almost verbatim). I guess when looking for a pain management Dr I need to be asking if he/she works hand in hand with a pharmacist so I can get somewhere actually getting a prescription filled. As many times as I have gone through withdrawal in the last year if I was simply trying to feed some kind of habit I would of walked away from this situation long ago. At the risk of sounding terrible I wish I was just trying to feed a habit at is easier to get illegal drugs if my motivation was simply to get "high". From what I'm seeing drug addicts are still being drug addicts. They've just moved on to easier scores having screwed this up for everyone evidently, legitimate need or not. I personally don't care if the blame lies with my Dr or those in charge of the supply and who gets them. What I know for certain is I AM BEING LET DOWN BY THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM AND SUFFERING NEEDLESSLY. I am willing to change to a completely different medicine in hopes of rectifying the situation, but from what I understand the supply of other pain medications are now in shortage as others scurry to make changes to try and have their needs met. My Dr's office will not simply let you bring an unfilled prescription back to be switched to something else without making another appointment (they want that office visit money to lift a finger to scribble on a pad) and of course he is booked up from everyone else having to return in the same situation as I am in. SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE THIS IS NOT RIGHT.

Just an fyi I may be disabled butI am actively looking for work and on enemployment so I pay for my medications. So, if what you are saying is true and they pharmacies do have both the scripts I have tried to get the past two months then I am def being judged by the pharmacist and so was my fiance who is a single father of four boys that I have hepled raise for seven years the mother is not involved at all. Maybe 25% of the people on this site have a problem and get over medicated but that is not their faults always that is the Drs who prescribed to them. Next time you want to decide to sit on here at almost midnight to judge people think before you speak. No one has a pure glass house to throw stones at anyone elses. I hope you have a better weeek at work and that your father is doing well being pain free. God Bless.

Glad you are looking for work and not looking for handouts... Unemployment is being cut in the NYC tri-state area... And yes what I'm saying IS true about pharmacists denying people... Every single pharmacy is stocked with oxy and xanax and all that type of stuff... They might be out for a week because they may have been robbed so they don't order anything else for a week... But they're always stocked... The best big name chain pharmacy is Walgreens... They're always stocked especially with 15mg's... But since most of you are on 30mg's let me give you an inside scoop... The 30mg oxycodone is gonna be changing within a year... They're going to do the same thing to the 30mg's that they did to Oxycontin... They're gonna add the gel/wax so they cannot be crushed... But they won't be doing that to the 15mg... I think that this will happen within the next year but it may not happen at all... But I heard that from pretty reliable sources...

I thought this started as a post for people in the Florida Brandon area having problems filling scripts. All I can say is I'm sorry if your experiences have left you jaded. I too have experience with the foot long needle. They're called nerve blocks and steroid injections and I have had both numerous times a year to try and rectify my bulging and herniated discs. Most people on disability (my experiences at least) are not scamming. I would much rather be healthy and able to work as obviously a lot of people do look down on our situation. I wish your father the best and hope you never find yourself in this position as karma can be a weird thing.

Don't get me wrong... I don't look down on all people on here... I wasn't posting about anybody specifically... But you and I both know that there are people on here who are full of crap... And they're just junkies looking for a high... But yes there are people who are in real pain and have to deal with that everyday... My father is one of those people and I am another... I had a weightlifting accident while I was squatting... I was adjusting the bar on my neck and I stepped the wrong way and the bar that was holding 300 plus pounds rolled down my neck... Now I have a bulging bone in the back of my neck... Trust me its no picnic and I do sympathize with real people... My primary just referred me to pain management...

nycitaliano Says.. These posts are really funny..."
Not sure how many are faking it to get their pain pills but that would mean there are some mighty stupid doctors out there. Some posters do tell about their injuries but sometimes that helps, you can check because I know I have never mentioned what hurts on me. As for the co-pay, I wish. My insurance will cover my pain meds as long as they are filled with tons of tylenol/acetametaphin but I choose my health and have worked it out so my doctor writes me a compunded 20/80, 20 mg of pain med. and 80 mg of acet. instead of 500 or 650 per pill. My insurance will cover a 10/650 or a 10/500 or even a 10/325 but will not cover a 20/80 because they do not cover compounded meds even though they have the same ingredients. The DEA and legislators need to let doctors do their jobs without sticking their noses into business they know nothing about. It causes a black market effect with high demand and people able to make thousands off a script, a crime that can put them away for 30+ years selling 5 pills or 10-15 if they actually shoot and kill someone. Then people who really need these meds cannot get them when they need them but they let drug companies put out untested drugs that in 5 years there will be lawyers on TV telling you to call if you were prescribed these drugs. The whole system is out of whack.

italiano "nyc", the motif you keep, and you keep it carefully....

due to the fact that
and also because you said a and then b and said a leads to b, then said a is the product of its offspring [you getting me? i'm getting me but might sound like i have cognitive issues and an expressive disorder of some sort because i have graphomania...so i''d rather not go into detail unless it's about one particular thing as opposed to 'motif'] well, at any rate, I'll try to be brief and convey my lil message here.

seriously, no joke...not making fun of internet entities i know nothing about....believe me. I am CONFUSED.
are you making fun or something? [if i could pm you then i could say it straight...in the public forum i must say it through a labyrinth] Yes it's clear you find something absurd and there are exclamation marks and if you were with pen in hand you'd tear up the page......

BUT

some things don't...fit. like ...in an analogy which is just crap for sake of ameliorating your comprehension of my idiotic essays while you heatedly are doing something, or seemingly heatedly, though seeming is being so you are expressing to us here you believe in a, b, and f, but not c, and e is otherwise explained. so you take time to write. im writing this ocd pathology style. you put thought in your arguments, i skimmed over them briefly [not to imply anything, i was just doing something else and YOU diverted me here with your arguments]

so my question, because to me it seems you have contradicted yourself way too many times and you have also ..... you know, thoughts about things, conspiracies , and the repetition. Bref....are you just doing this 'for the sake of science' or are you furrowing your brows and believe what you're saying

if i come off as incoherent and deranged its because I have found it very amusing [not concepts described, like injury...but the bigotry and self loathing and the aliens beaming DO NOT DISPENSE beams into the heads of pharmacists....

maybe i didnt get you so dont think im saying this to attain forum popularity. im not, swear to italy, roma, passoscuro where i lived for years and played with barefoot urchin children....and swear on nyc itself....the all encompassing terror dome of zionist conspiracy greenhoused to feed off itself and procure its own fuel, amassing exponentially recombinant heaps of humanity to feed carte blanche toting junkies.

wow, ok. no, i mean ....example is here [not above, above was a ...problem i have ignore it]
to paraphrase you
1. pharmacies are not dispensing C-II medication
2. you WERE involved in some weightlifting accident in the past with the 300 lb weight that fell on your neck ...that was NOT sarcasm i assume right?
3. You hold that people on the forum are mostly just bulls*** junkies which.....right....this is not even a site where you have to register, it's basically a проходной двор ...dont know english equivalent. like a dark dank underpass specifically designed for transition
But you also hold, to a lesser degree, but still, that MOST people or people in general...let's just say 'the moral majority' for sake of facility and ...the moral majority out there [like THERE not here typing away but commonfolk, yeomen, all humanity if turned into a grain of sand and placed in the palm of your hand.....you DO HOLD that this moral majority exaggerates pain sym.s to their prescribing physicians in order to essentially misuse the medication. Not ALL but enough. just YES or NO, am i correct?
4. Last one. You differ from the majority because you [i dont recall but something like L2, 3, 4 affected from the injury ? if im wrong whatever, not important. You hold that you are NOT a junkie even though you take addictive meds because your dosing regimen is warranted by the severity of your pain. And whereas yes, everyone can say that, you actually are responsible with heavily adictive C-II meds because you use them for pain and not fun and not everyone out there is a crack-wh*** butu 99% are.

Just answer me that cause youre consistent but then I think..no you must be fooling with our heads and we are f***** naive.

And to all forumers, are we allowed to use cuss words up in here or will our IPs be marked and blocked upon further attempts to access this site.

Thanks in advance,
so PLEASE ANSWER ITS JUST FOUR QUESTIONS, give me a YES OR NO.....or give me much more, i dont mind. i just dont want to waste your time.

listen i have nooooo idea what you are saying but i kinda get it... you wanna know if pharmacies really do turn down people? the answer is YES any pharmacist can turn down any potential customer... EVERY pharmacy is stocked with oxy especially mom and pop (non-chain pharmacies)... a pharmacy may be out of 30mg for a week due to back order but there is no LIMIT of what a pharmacy can order at least not in my state... my boss orders oxycodone by the boatload because he knows it goes out quicker than it comes in... but he has a set of specific people he will only dispense to... and he turns down pretty much 90% of those people who he doesn't already dispense to... we have at least 40-50 people that are regular monthly customers who get oxycodone... most get them through insurance but there are some who do pay cash... if you walk into my pharmacy and have never filled an oxycodone script there before you are probably going to be turned down 90% of the time... the only way he would consider you is if you pay CASH because believe it or not pharmacies really don't make a lot of money off of oxycodone especially the generics... the ROXICODONE brand is extremely expensive for a pharmacist to purchase... thats why most pharmacies give out generic... if you go into a pharmacy and want to pay cash you do sometimes have the choice of which brand of pill you want... if you want the original roxicodone 54 199s then expect to pay a huge amount of money for them cuz like i said they are very expensive for a pharmacist to order... my boss hardly orders those anymore because they wind up sitting on the shelf...

What I took away from that long rambling allegory is you have first stated that everyone in here especially those that take the time to state their injuries are nothing but dope heads looking to get high. You then proceed to leave other posts that contradict many of your statements. The most noted being that you stated your injury with 300lbs of weight (which could seem sarcastic or at least exaggerated) proclaiming your legitimate need for pain management. Basically what I believe he/she was trying to convey is : Are you just in here posting a bunch of nonsense to stir the pot and get a rise out of people. Or are you sincere and truthful and your thoughts and opinions just all over the place. Thank you BTW for the reaffirming the info I have already received about the pharmacies looking out for a certain few regulars and other then that only taking care of those that can pay upwards of $6+per pill. For those of us that are not in those categories I guess there isn't much to do but change to another medication and hope to have better luck. Personally if I could still have any kind of quality of life I would just leave pain pills entirely behind as many times as I've gone through withdrawal already from lack of steady supply.

I have just learned that my aunt, only 42 years old, killed herself because she could no longer live with the pain she was suffering from (stage 3 cancer) and not being able to fill her prescriptions in Florida. I knew she had been having a hard time for the last few months since the pharmacist she had been using for years retired and in her place stepped in a 27 year old, 'know it all' that actually asked to see her medical records one month due to her looking like 'a drug addict' and he then told her she should speak with her doctor about rehab if she was unable to go a few days without her meds. My uncle was then arrested for 'terrorist threats' after he began yelling and screaming at the pharmacist! I am in TN and had thought of moving back to FL not too long ago so my aunt would not be alone, and even spent a month seeing specialists for my own condition. However, after hearing horror stories about the treatment of Florida's residents in pain, I decided against it. I wonder how many more are on the verge of killing themselves rather than live another day in pain or to be forced to have to suffer through once overs by pharmacists!!!

Anon - that was proper pain therapy until the oc was no longer available in generic, making the cost go up and it's not available with my insurance and doctors started to treat out of fear rather than appropriate pain management. Long acting meds along with breakthrough isnt even offered to me. I get the breakthrough only and hang on by my bare knuckles - My pharmacist has taken very good care of me for a very long time - lucky. If they didnt - don't know what I would do.

All I can say is wow, I am a certifiable cancer patient and even get my Lupron from Walgreens and just started to get back on CII medications. I tried at first to get 15 or 30 Oxy but Walgreens never had them so I then got Dilaudid and so far for almost three weeks now nothing. I feel like I am dying inside I am constantly in hospital for my Iv feed and chemo and they have to give me shots. I am on share of cost medicaid and cannot even get that met until today so I could not get my CII med until now since I am living on Disability and unemployment. I could of only been able to afford the med at Walgreens with my Florida discount card but the only had 10 of them in stock to fill my script by the time I got up there. I refuse to drive all over Gods creation nor can I afford to just to try and get my meds filled. I honestly sit in bed almost 24/7 because I am in so much pain unless I am in my bathroom falling asleep against my toilet in fear of not being able to get up out of bed in time or falling asleep and gagging on my own vomit. I am raising three boys that are not even mine for almost seven years on top of all this and going to college again come Summer B session. Even so I am just not good enough to be able to not be in pain so far. Is this fair Anon you say you are a pharmacist with a heart well how is it that a pharmacy can get a drug in but cant be nice enough to call you to tell you at least? I understand I am new and am not a regular customer but what do the people like me do when we are diagnosed with cancer we have to become a new patient somewhere to get our CII meds filled and I have been going to the same pharmacy for five years. This whole situation sickens me to the core. I thank GOD I am trying to learn to cope without the meds at all and not trying as hard as I could to find them and then have to get sick like the other pore souls on here GOD bless all of you and I pray you all become pain free very soon.
As for D Ratliff I have not heard from her yet even though I added her on my fb nor has she responded to me on here. If she is or isnt who she says she is makes no difference to me I honestly just wish they could just make a website like Angieslist that you could go to and it would just tell you where to go to get what you need but we all know that it would be a number one cause for robberies.

You are not absolved of blame for your statements. If you have a slot to put in a new patient to get a prescription filled you still get to decide who gets it. You are the ultimate authority as you decide simply by looking at the person. it doesn't matter what the doctors examination says you have the ability to tell who is in need by your eyes. Don't lie to us. I have a professional job and am well dressed when I go to pharmacies. I am greeted politely. When the person the desk reads the word oxycodone their face drops and I am an outcast. Inside I believe you feel the same way about most oxycodone patients. For now you have been given some power you obviously crave. You are more important than the doctors. You will live a long life. Somewhere someone close to you will be in pain and you too can watch them suffer.
