Cannot fill them anywhere in Bradenton or Sarasota. Please help I have a real doctor and the pharmacy I have been going to the past year in my city says they will no longer fill out of county. Does anyone know of a pharmacy in Bradenton or Sarasota that can help a patient fill qty 180 oxycodone 30mg? Please help. On the verge of getting deathly ill w/out meds! Thank you.
suze, ms contin and morphine absolutely are horrible and have less than half bioavailability as oxycodone and thats why the oxy works so well. I wouldnt suggest morphine(ms contin) you should consider oxycontin as generics will be available april 1 and are easy to find at cvs, or anywhere. its the ir oxycodone that is hard to find. i dont think youll get anything out of morphine. i tried it and because it has such low bio, it stinks. common now is oxycontin er and percocet(oxycodone) for breakthru.
Suze... sorry to say that Tampa is one of the worst areas for the problems you have read about... my suggestion is to begin with Morphine ER and IR ( Extended Release and Instant Release)... they are easier to get. It is the Oxycodone that is the problem, mostly.
Chances are alll clinics are "Cash Only" and do not take insurance, if you have any?
My prayers are with you that you may find a solution to your problem.

Hello
All I can say after reading all this is WOW! I feel so bad for ya'll. I have be researching pain clinics after an injury to my back last year and now I have been diagnosed with Fibro. as well which explains a lot of the other pain I am having throughout my body. I am a veteran and have been treated at the VA with medications such as tramadol,gabapetin ect. with no relief. I can go days without pain then I have bouts that can last up to six weeks with back pain radiating down my legs that I can barely walk. I have no insurance as I cannot work and filing for disability. I am 57 years old and this has been one of the hardest things I have faced my entire life. I am used to taking care of myself, working and such and now I am in this situation.I feel so all aloneas I cannot get out and do much of anything right now. I have read so many bad things about these pain clinics and the ones I have contacted will see me but they cost a lot of money then I have been reading that pharmacies may not even fill the prescription of certain doctors. I am not looking for any strong medications nor to use on a daily basis just something I have when the pain hits for weeks at a time.
Well what I am getting to is hoe do I find a Doctor that I know I can get the help I need.
I live in Tampa Florida
Thanks for listening.
if that was me, dont get mad at me cause i have a pharmacy and you dont. hate the game, not the player...im sure you heard of that...good luck...mine keeps getting better, now my pharmacist told me ill be able to get my generic oxycontin starting april 2013, so from what i read, there same as the old oc formula the ones that will work. these bs op pellets ive been suffering taking them but knew this day would come soon enough PURDUES PATENT runs out. so the cananda is flooded with the generic oxies now and they say there like the old formula. instant relief is coming back. these opa are ok but only last 6-7 maybe 8 hours...
This goes out to "pissed off"I am w/u on this, I think we should all look into a class action lawsuit for pain and suffering, limiting our lives and not being ble to work and do daily chores that people take for granted. They perscribe the meds and charge us an arm and a leg and they r worthless when we cannot get them filled and I am sick of them all thinking we r addicts. My husband has had the same reputable Dr. for 6/7 yrs. and has never failed a urine test or ever called in for an early refill but u better believe we pay an arm and leg for his assistance. This is total bs and we need to stand up and fight for our rights. u can contact me {edited for privacy}..message me and lets see if we can maybe help each other out. I am sick of living in the poor house because my husband has chronic pain and is unable to work when the pain is so excruciating. Plus the stress it has put on this poor man..we r being robbed by the drs. and the pharmacies r playing God..I have heard every rediculous excuse in the book. Shame on all of them! Thanks for letting me vent.
Maybe if pharmicist quit playing God and were not so rude we could sympathize. As far as I'm concerned u r all a joke and when u have the drugs available and pick and choose who to dispense it to is total discrimination...I hope u all lose your jobs and suffer w/chronic pain forever and then maybe u can learn the art of sympathy!!! If it is a legit Dr. there is no excuse and we should not have to see our loved ones suffer in pain. Grow a pair and stick up for the people who count on u...so go whine to people who give a sh@#!
BEAX- I WENT THROUGH it like you...but 1, oxies arent going anywhere. yes no cash doctors. my doctor is in a county next to mine and my pharmacy is in the the next county that ive used for 2 years now. he fills-orders everymonth my oxycontin, oxycodone and klonopin for me every month no problem. and he takes insurance.. my friend just got his 90 day supply of 30mg roxies via mail order. there trying to make it so u get roxies through mail only except for a few pharmacies like mine that know the client. im truly lucky.
also my pharmacy told me in april1, oxycontin will be available generic and there not the pellets purdue is putting out since they changed formula. the generics are in canada now and the same formula as the old oc's. So purdue is about to lose a whole lotta business because the new op oxies suck and arent anything like the old ones. cant wait till april 1
You have to be more specific. I have no idea what the abbreviations mean? All of them. Please elaborate. noone here is or can do anything about hearsay on the net..im sure you use fake names like the rest of us. and i didnt understand where your even located. good luck
I honestly believe that soon you will not be able to get oxycodone at all... that is the purpose behind all this. It would take too many words to explain what I just went thru with a district supervisor with walgreens... but simply put, the pharmacist is afraid of losing their license and they will not fill oxy scripts... the management has no say in the matter.... it is up to the individual pharmacists.
I even had one tell me that they would not fill any script from a cash only doctor... therefore punishing the patient because the doc only takes cash... I have be unable to find a pain clinic that takes my insurance. It is not my fault.. should I be punished?
I gave in and had my script changed to Morphine ER and IR... I have no problem getting them... not the same relief I got with oxy but at least it is some and not a hassle to get.
good luck to all of you....
I have my first appt with a PM in antioch, i dont want to name them over internet but is there a way to tell beforehand if im wasting time and should go somewhere else? I was kicked out of last PM for going to H'ville ER knowing something was wrong and after doc follow up i was admitted for almost 2weeks due to DVT
walgreens could care less about our 3000$ a month meds. they would rather just lose all the pain patients and they wouldnt be worrying about lawsuyits, and all the problems that go with c2 meds. and when dealing with an individual pharmacist hiding behind a huge corp like walgreens she dont care if you get your meds. shes still getting her paycheck. thats why mom pops shop have them and will sell them cause they work for their money and every dollar counts. try getting oxycodone 10/325 for breakthru pain. i had the same problem and if you have mail order set it up through mail order. you may wait the first time longer but then on time monthly. thats what i do. and the 10/325 are the same thing for pain as the roxy 15's just take 2.good luck. till this fcked up system gets right and fixed this is gonna suck for next few yrs till resolved in florida and they ease up.
Here is the deal:
I am legal... 61 years old with degenerative disc disease and stenosis of the cervical spine. I am in constant pain that is pretty much controlled by my extended release morphine.... but, I have a script for Oxy 30 for breakthrough pain... and I need it especially at night when I can't sleep or get comfortable for the pain. I need them during the day to keep me out of bed and productive... with the added boost I get from the Oxy my quality of life is worth living.
I go to a legit pain clinic that has been audited by the DEA and found in accordance. I go monthly and get a full exam each time I go... it is not a pain mill!
Now, I went to the closest Walgreen's to the clinic to get my script filled and they had the Oxys in stock... but wouldn't fill the script because they did not fill scripts for this doc. They would not give me explanation.
So, the patient gets punished for some reason they have against the doc. I am ready to boycott Walgreen's and take my (over) $3000 a year in meds to another pharmacy... BUT... I can't find one that will fill my Oxy scripts.
What are we to do... I am so tired of the running around to find a pharmacy that it has triggered DEPRESSION... did I mention I am Bi[polar? This is getting very serious as the depression can affect me as bad as the pain. I don't mean that is has made me upset and sad over this situation... I mean I have full blown DEPRESSION.... and my bipolar meds are not helping.
Now, I don't even want to go out to find a pharmacy... I just want to stay home... and tolerate the pain... as well as SELF MEDICATE!!! This is the dangerous side effect of this situation and NO ONE CARES!
Every pharm I have been to has treated me like an outcast... they are abrupt and rude in telling me they will not fill my script. When I ask why, they offer no explanation that is logical. None of them treat me as a patient in pain.
I am truly SICK over this... and feel I have no where to turn... used to be that I had trouble getting a doc to write the script... now the DEA has scared all the pharms into not wanting to mess with the narcotics at all. I take a controlled substance for my bipolar and I can't get it either.
Just needed to vent... thanks for listening...

i had the same with dont stop abruptly. you know what happened when the dr got shut down, i went to hospital to try to get a referral, etc and few day meds till my appointment date. They didnt care and gave me flexiril for the leg cramps and 12 5/325 percocet. thats it, and i went through aweful withdrawl for 2 weeks and finally got through it and then found my new doctor and have no trouble getting meds anymore. I am not getting the roxies i use to get and i dont like dilaudid. I like oxycontin(anything oxycodone) which has worked on my pain for 13 years. I am on oxycontin with roxicodone 20mg(not the 15mg or 30mg) but 20mg-i didnt even know they made this but yes they do and get 2 a day for breakthrough. I dont like this oxycontin compared to the old formula but in april, purdue(oxycontin) patent runs out and generic companies are making the old formula again which will be released in usa april. its already in canada. i will ask my pharmacist to order the generic for me in april instead of the current brand. since they put the new coating on them they are terrible compared to the old formula. They are very expensive too.
good luck man, sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet and go through detox- it wont kill you with opiate withdrawl(it will make you wish you were dead) but anyways this is why they dont care if you stop abruptly. the things that theyll give you meds for is benzos. like my valium/xanax i get they refilled even after my dr got shut down because you can die from suddenly stopping taking these. But not the opiates. so, for me i smoked alot of weed to help me get through the detox 8 months ago and helped me get through the withdrawls till i got to my new dr appointment. good luck. its a mess out there
I refuse to believe no one in our Government has Chronic Pain themselves and that they are going to stop giving pain meds to everyone but Cancer patients! Come on you Guys....we gotta do something about this....if not for OUR COMFORT and FUTURE..but AT LEAST FOR THE SAKE OF OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN who may end up with severe chronic pain and wish they could get the guts to pull the trigger on Life! Well, if 90% of Chronic pain patients are forced to return to living in pure agony as I am and the world becomes THAT STRICT....I hope it backfires on the DEA! Now...hear me..I've never done any "Street drugs" and I would be afraid to for them even...I still hope Heroin makes a Big Come back. I think a 5th Grader could figure out that you can take the drugs away from the ADDICT, but he/se is STILL an Addict! TheDEA will just have to get their legs in shape again, cause soon they will be running and chasing down the New Epidemic of Street drugs that they just created by ridding good People of their Pain medications. I guess they weren't smart enough to WEED OUT THE DRUG ADDICTS from the Real Chronic Pain patients or maybe the Govt. and the DEA are just too LAZY to try to tell the difference between People who have real Chronic Pain and the ones who get High for fun.You can see now just how bad the Human Race has become, by the horrible things they are doing in the name of JUSTICE! A legal way for one group(The DEA) of Humans to treat another large group of Humans(pain patients) as INHUMANE as they possibly can! We are being treated like those Lab Monkeys who are tortured daily with painful experiments and surgeries without anesthesia... Next thing ya know, they will say that anesthesia's bad for you andvyou will have to have Major Surgery with your EYES WIDE OPEN!

That is the part I do not understand, I went through this a few years ago, my PCP passed away, I was seeing her for over 10 years, had all my records and tests were up to date, she had me on a compounded 20/80. Since the DEA and feds are watching doctors who perscribe oxyxotin, morphine and diladid my Dr. feels better writing the hydros but knows that 40 mg a day is not helping so if I have them compounded to 20/80, 20 mg of hydrocodone and 80 mg of acetaminophen I can take up to 12 a day. I can take more pain meds and not be under the watchful eye of the feds by taking oxycotin or morphine and saving my liver by not bombarding it with Tylenol. Well when she died I took all my records and a few old bottles of medications and covered 3 counties trying to find a new doctor, yeah right, no one would touch me, they were too afraid. I then asked if they could write me a 30 day supply to hold me until I could find a new doctor because if you read the paper work that comes with any pain medication it states in bold letters "DO NOT STOP TAKING THIS MEDICATION ABRUPTLY." it is not healthy to just stop. Most of the doctors would not even look at my records, said they could not recommend another doctor and most told me to go to a methadone clinic because they were not going to start a new patient off with this much medication. I was willing to work with them, start me off at 3 or 4 a day, whatever, just so I don't have to stop abruptly. The feds have these Dr. running scared, not sure if they thought I was setting them up but they are not like the helpful doctors I remember seeing in the past or the caring understanding doctors you see on TV..LOL. I finally found one that was brave enough to stand up for the oath he took and ran me through some new tests, drug screening, blood work, etc. He was one of only a few that even bothered to look at my records, he remembered my old doctor from years ago, I think that may have helped me. But shame on these other doctors, I had everything I needed, I was willing to do any test they said I needed, I had all my records and was very honest, I guess that scared them, they are probably used to people giving them a line of bull, I don't know what the deal was, probably the feds and DEA, doctor shopping laws, pill mills and all this other crap. The honest people who need meds, he was very understanding and said that there is a difference between addiction and dependence. I really don't know what I would have done had I not found him, I would have probably risked breaking the law and buying them off the street. When a person who has all their records cannot go to a doctor and get legitimate help and legal doctors will not help a patient that is taking medication that they know is very dangerous to stop abruptly is forced to risk their freedom and face 20 years in prison there is something wrong with the system. I guess since I was not their patient if I died they could not be sued, screw the oath of being a doctor that helps people, not sure how they can sleep at night...

Mike I live in Lincoln, IL. Very small community and not too many options when it comes to Dr's, esspecially since I'm limited to my options since I was fired from the one Dr, I can't go to any other Dr's in that system, which is a very large hospital group in the central Illinois area in several towns all around. My new Dr is in another small town in a very small medical group 30 miles away. He's the biggest jerk I've ever met! The first time I saw him, he almost threw me out of his office simply because he thought I was lying to him. I'll tell you more about this story after I tell you a brief history.... I've had a history of chronic pain in my back and neck since I was in jr high. So my mom started taking me to a chiropractor when I was probably 12 years old. I believe my problems began when I was about 11 years old and flipped my bicycle and landed on my head on pavement. Some other accidents I've had include being hit by a car while riding my bike (it was a low speed impact where the driver was turning the corner as I was crossing the street and I went up on the hood.), carrying a sheet of drywall, walking backwards and stepping into a hole in the floor and landing on the edge of the hole on the small of my back, head on car accident when I was 18 going 30 mph, another car accident where I was going 85 mph off a curve with no seatbelt and the airbag popped my head back (the ER Dr said I was lucky it didn't break my neck and I didn't go thru the windshield. I had a very strong grip on the steering wheel.), an elevator that dropped 3 floors when I was 20 (It didn't slam to the bottom of the shaft like you see in movies. However it was jarring.), another car accident when another driver ran a red light and I slammed into the side of their car going 30 mph, standing up after kneeling down under a steel truck frame and hitting the top of my head on the frame and crunching my neck (I was a welder at Caterpillar. Probably another thing that wasn't good on my neck was the heavy welding hood that had a hose running into the back of the hood, pumping breathable air into the hood.), MRI's showing spinal degeneration in my lower back and neck and diagnosis' of arthritis in my knees and bursitis in my shoulder. Starting in 2010 I had a Dr that was prescribing Norco 10/325 1-2 tabs every 4-6 hours for a couple years. He tried stronger pain medications such as oxycontin that didn't even help. After all the different medications he tried, I determined that the only thing that helped was the Norco. I've also had other treatments such as epidural injections in my lower back and neck (I had a scary experience with the neck epidural when the needle wouldn't go in and the Dr tried jamming it in there causing a strange sensation to course down my body, making me go cold and sick to my stomach and I yelled at him to stop. So he told me to stretch my arms downward to help spread the discs apart. I didn't go back for another treatment after that!) During the course of that couple years I had surgery replacing a disc and fusing 2 in my neck then 3 months later a surgery fixing a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder by placing an anchor in there. The surgeons then took over my pain management for 3 months for each surgery. After the 3 months I returned to my PCP for further pain management. After a few months of this my Dr fired me along with a large group of other patients that were on narcotic pain killers. (I know this because a nurse that no longer works at that office told me about the mass firings.) The PCP I was seeing took over a large group of patients from another Dr that the medical group had fired because he refused to keep record of treatments on the computer. He was an older Dr that was old fasioned and set in his ways. It was a big deal that was in the newspaper. Aparently a majority of those patients he was treating were on pain management and the medical group didn't approve of that. It has been a year since my surgeries and I have been in double the pain in my neck than I was before (it feels like something sharp is constantly poking me at the base of my head and my neck constantly aches period.) and still having pain in my lower back and NOW I have pain running down both legs, knees and feet to the point that it is impossible for me to function at home or at work. I've missed a lot of work because of the pain and actually had a Dr that I WAS seeing refuse to fill out disability papers for me when I missed work for a month straight because he didn't tell me to take off work and he was afraid of losing his license. I decided to find a new Dr after that. The new Dr I found is an even bigger jerk than the one that refused to fill out my disability papers however. He grilled me at my first appointment and ALMOST threw me out of his office because he thought I was lying to him about my medical history. He proceeded to tell me about past patients that lied to him in order to get pain pills and were seeing multiple Dr's that were also prescribing them pain pills. I convinced him that I was not lying to him and tried being as open and honest as I could be without breaking down and crying. I CANNOT find a Dr ANYWHERE that cares enough to prescribe ANYTHING for pain relief and basicly treat me like a druggie! I was even referred to a pain clinic where the Dr there will ONLY do epidural injections in my lower back. The last he gave me one I developed a dural puncture and suffered debilitating headaches 24/7 for 3 1/2 weeks straight! So obviously I refuse to get another epidural. That Dr WILL NOT prescribe anything for pain because he says he has too many other patients he has to monitor. My new jerk PCP told me it was his "copout way of saying he doesn't trust me". I'm almost to the point of eating a bullet because I am so miserable and tired of how horrible of a person I've turned into and how horrible I treat my 8 year old daughter (I'm a single fulltime dad that has custody of her), family, friends and coworkers. I'm almost at my breaking point and don't know what to do! I've even told my Dr that in the past pain killers such as oxy (which in my opinion are worse than Norco) don't even help and that I found that Norco is the only thing that does help! Over the counter pain killers won't even touch the pain as I'm sure you are aware of that. I'm at my breaking point. But honestly, I could never bring myself to hurt myself. I'm a christian and believe in hell and don't want to go there. To be honest with you, anytime I hear of anybody that has Norco for sale, I buy as many as I can get. I don't like doing it, but what else can I do? I don't know if you know anybody close to my area or not, but I hope there is some kind of wonderful advise you can give me.
jim where r you. County wise. im on east coast florida. i can set a doctor and pharmacy if in port st lucie county, ft pierce, vero beach. in south florida-palm bch county i know great dr i use to goto and shell help you-called peace of mind delray bch fl. great doctors. very helpful. asian and they understasnd how to help with the pain and write meds for messed up people like you and me. but do not threathen taking your life or i wont help. i lost someone in my life i didnt help in time while he made threats.
if it helps, ive been shot in 1995 to my face/neck and it blew my spine and face away in the neck. having to replace 4 neck vertabrae with plates and fusions and plate jaw. i went through the same thing last june when my doctor got shut down here in vero. doctors know im legit and my current dr wont write dilaudid(thats what most people on roxies were getting switched to) but he wont write those, no roxies, no opana, so i suffered for 2-3 months until my body got used to the new oxycontin drug levels in my system. but im doing better now. But they dont care, they dont want get busted and are scared. i am in a situation where the dr is writing my oxycontin with 10/325 percs for breakthru and im doing good for half the day and suffer the rest until i get my insurance and my ssi disability kicks in a few months. good luck. we got all our live one time here on earth. God loves you. Your strong or you wouldnt be here today. after life, you will be able to shut your eyes forever anyways. i live in pain too daily but am learning to deal with it. Goto church if you believe Jesus is your savior or if your jewish to goto the temple, or whatever religion you are, just plz dont give up it will pass. i have been where your at. thank God my old pharmacist orders my pain meds every month even though my doctor is 30 miles away in next town cause the pharmacist knows me and he know it wasnt our fault the dr got shut down and once my attorney got me a doctor i could get it filled anywhere and i gave up and a lighbulb went off to go and ask in person to the cool pharmacist to help me and he did just that. super nice guy.
Dr McMullen fort Myers cost 200 but Medicare will reimburse if you have it.
Hope that helps you.
