Fill Oxycodone Prescription (Page 36) (Top voted first)
UpdatedCannot 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.
Amen!!!
rphjoe@ i agree. in fact i wish your wife or mom or dad suffered like we suffer then listen to some pharmacy tech like yourself on power trip telling how we should approach you with our doctor prescriptions. KISS MY AS..YOU MORON AND YOUR GONNA GET WHAT IS COMIN TO YA. WISH I KNEW YOUR REAL NAME AND IT WOULD HAPPEN ALT SOONER!
@Frederick So, let me ask you this. Pain relieving drugs are generally new to humans. What did people do before drugs existed? Say hundreds of years ago? Did they stop working and go on disability? Did they just keel over and die? Unlikely. They managed with natural remedies such as opium. And there was no such thing as disability. That's a nanny state, socialistic invention/excuse for people stuck in a vicious cycle of victim hood. It's too bad natural opium's not legally available to you. Maybe we should fault our government before we start blaming pharmacists... Oh, which the gov also regulates. We pharmacists are forced to take these measures. It has nothing to do with our level of compassion. If we don't take these steps, pharmacies will lose their dea licenses and some pharmacists have already gone to jail &/or lost their licenses. So ultimately if we don't take necessary steps, which we are legally mandated to do, there won't even be a Tylenol #3 for you let alone OxyContin 80mg. So I say we go back to how we were before the controlled substances act crippled us. So write your representatives. Take back your liberties. In this age of computers there's no way you can't get a job and work from home. An excuse is just a well planned lie. It's too bad our gov has you trapped. Btw, the paid disability days are numbered. Hyperinflation or a default on our debt is coming. You think things are bad now? I'm sorry.
-RPhJoe--I think overturning the racist drug policies would serve everyone better. It would be much cheaper and more effective to grow your own (plant of choice) and be free to ingest it in a way that suits person. I mean seriously, it took 4,000 years of opium use throughout the world before addiction was noticed!!! or was it the flaxen haired, white women who took up with Chinamen and negroes?
rphjoe@ you truly are a moron. yes people in the early days DID DIE YOU MORON. thats why if you read history the average age was between 30-40 years old unlike today at 75-80. people didnt know about opium for several thousand years and people needing neck surgery or be paraylyzed well guess what...they died as they were paralyzed and could not survive as we know it. oh, guess what, iit was commom for people to die during childbirth, oh guess what, people needing any type surgery for gunshot, arrow, etc ....they died 80% because of infection with no meds and had nothing to do with pain. point is you hippocritte, these meds are available to the public and they are here for a reason....so people dont have to suffer. someday, either someone you love or yourself will need them and your point of view will change as it will take narrow minded people like you to figure out this problem. just do your job and quit questioning doctors...never happened before the new crackdown on pill mills in 2010, so why now? the bad doctors are all shut down and now left with legit pain patients and we have access to these meds to help us live productive days so why shouldnt we be able to get them. you really make me sick.
I have decided to follow thru with my lawsuit... Walgreen's and their pharmacists who insist on playing God need an awakening... once I have the detail set I will notify the press and get as much publicity as I can for us. This has gone on long enough!

@Soyuz There's no racism. Our president has that card fully implemented at every turn. I'm white, 95% of the customers I turn away are white. Matter of fact, why is it that the major majority of pain patient, drug seekers are white? GREAT QUESTION!
@goodday Opium has been around for thousands of years. Pharmacists have a duty and a responsibility to question doctors at every turn, that's why we exist. The pill epidemic in America is growing. Be honest, be humble and you won't have a problem. Vote libertarian politicians in office.
OMG! Joe, you exist to dispense legal, doctor prescribed medication, PERIOD! What are you talking about, is this what you're being taught in school, to block the doctor patient relationship? You have no idea what these people are suffering from and what's worse is you don't care. These patients have gone through extensive testing, MRI's, x-rays and have tried every other drug possible before they were given a life saving drug like Oxycontin! Why do you insist on pretending to know everything about pain sufferers that you meet in passing, just long enough to tell them that "you" are not going to fill their legal prescription because "you" think they don't need it? You are worst kind of human being, causing your fellow man and woman to suffer due to your over glorified self worth! "Absolute power corrupts absolutely"! For God's sake man, have some compassion!
Joe... why the * are you on this BB... you should be in school relearning your craft... yes craft, because you are not a professional... you are a sorry excuse of a pharmacist and should go your own way and get off this board. YOU ARE NOT WELCOMED!

@Frederic All we're asking of the patient and doctor is to prove you're in pain and have a valid patient/doctor relationship. Too many people can't prove it, that's the problem. The DEA is coming down on us. It's not us personally. You're attacking pharmacists, attack the DEA & your state board of pharmacy!!! I bend the rules where I can, when I know people, regular customers. Did it the other night. Do it all the time. I do it in good faith.
@beaux I'm on here because I'm keeping my ear to the street. I'm trying to bring my perspective to you. Pharmacists are not the problem, the government is the problem! We are being forced to do these things.
It has nothing to do with our personal compassion or ego. It has to do with our livelihoods. We're not going to risk our career filling narcotics for patients that cannot prove they've seen their doctor recently and cannot prove their diagnosis. We, as a profession, would rather deny filling an rx for one narcotic patient than have the DEA come in and tell us we can't fill any at all and lose our job, license, or possible go to jail. Better safe than sorry type situation. If I don't follow these rules, I can get fired. It's as simple as that.
Patients are being written rx's months in advance and not being seen by their dr. They're paying cash to the dr's and pharmacies. These same pills are being found in schools and on the street. Now you tell me how to fix it?
Write your board of pharmacy and your politicians. They are in control.
What good is your ear to the street if you aren't listening to us... if you fill a prescription in good faith... you are off the hook... it's between the PDoc and the DEA... why are you guys punishing the patient when your problem is with the docs... if you suspect a doc then report to DEA... don't do us harm!
Your viewpoint is slanted and does not consider us at all... a lot of pharmacies are not taking new customers or are not ordering the Oxycodone at all... this is not in good faith... and in my opinion and others on this board, you are the problem. Not just you personally, but you the pharmacists.
There is no other business where the front line customer service "employees" have the power you have. This is not right, and it is time you were held accountable for your non-actions. If you really were listening you would be an advocate for us and not be spouting off like you are....
You say my lawsuit will go nowhere... maybe not, but the publicity that it will cause will help bring the problem to the forefront... and then maybe something can be done.
It's not a matter of professional duty... it's as you say, "cover your ass" and that is not professional. Look between your legs and see if you still have balls... I doubt it!

Beaux, let us know if you need others to join your lawsuit. Walgreen's denied me my medication for no reason and said they will not be selling or ordering Oxycontin 40's any longer. Luckily I found a sympathetic pharmacist who honors a legal prescription or I would be in the Hospital right now. Good luck and God bless!
beaux I'm fully aware of your perspective. Repeal the controlled substances act, and all your problems will go away. Advocate 10th Amendment nullification in your state. The bad people always ruin it for the good. Look at the silly pseudoephedrine rules, the list goes on and on.
The board of pharmacy gives us this "power" and forces us to use it. We take a class on that. We have to pass a state board drug law test to practice. I'm licensed in 4 states and took a separate test for each one. My drug test (NAPLEX) reciprocates to all those states, took it once 13 years ago. Oregon even makes it's pharmacists take and pass 1 hour of law continuing education each year. They make us learn law more than the drugs. It's crazy.
This action Walgreens is taking could be due to this story:
post-gazette.com/stories/local/region/former-pharmacist-faces-drug-charges-676134/
If that link doesn't show up, go to the Pittsbugh Post Gazette's web site and search "Former pharmacist faces drug charges". It's dated Feb. 20th 2013. I know a little inside story on this. Crazy stuff! He was doing what you want me to do. Just taking any and all oxy rx's without question.
RPhJoe--PROVE TO PHARMACISTS! We spend years over and over proving to our doctors that we have legitimate pain! We dont owe you guys anything. Even my primary care doctor who referred me to pain management was shut down due to an infraction by God knows who! I see good doctors shut down due to drug seeking people NOT GETTING PRSCRIPTIONS and having a hissy fit and to make them pay they lie about te doctor. Because of that most of my medical records now sit at the county drug task force and i cant find a pain doctor who takes my insurance and has the balls to contact them to get my record! I seriously considered putting my ear to the street and get a few contacts for illicite drugs but dont want to participate in lawlessness. As if my decline would help. LOL so now I have the option of paying $400-$500 just for office visit to maybe a shady doctor or moving to Colorado to see if marijuana helps. I HATE weed but will it help? Maybe i should go back on cocaine (it is an anesthetic, no wonder i was painfree all those years) law enforcement is so busy with pain doctors and patients that come to think of it, now is a great to to hit the streets and even start the heroin flurry of the 60's and 70's again. Death remains a viable opition as well. I mean really, if my pain is not adequately managed, why should i take my other medications? Seems pointless to merely exist laying on the couch taking up oxygen and Federal benefits. Oh but the same libs would see that as relieving the earth from my excess carbon.
Joe current most current pain patients may be white but racism is what oriinally made drugs illegal--i say bravo to the teacher who sedated her students ! Maybe they were TOO unruly! Did we forget that opium was once sold and prescribed for everything like menstrual cramps to yes, even Soothing Infant tincture to calm fussy babies! The govt is not my mother and needs to back off and get out of the boardroom, the bedroom and our medicine cabinets!
spyz....i feel exactly the same....exactly. no need for me to repeat. obnly difference is i do use illicit street drugs to numb my pain. sad my dr too shut down last summer now i have to buy off street dealers who i know for years and never needed them till recently with all the bs. i smoke pot just to sleep at night. when properly medicated like the past 12 yrs, i didnt have to resort to this but have given up, run out of money and can only wait and hope things ease up soon.
I just want to say,please don't take any actions that can't be undone.I was in a coma for 8 days and was supposed to be a vegetable if I even came out of it,because as my note read"I can't wake up in pain any longer,I can't live like this".I am REALLY lucky that my family didn't pull the plug on life support like the Dr's recommended.I am happy I am here pain and all.I have had problems getting my meds like everyone else here also.I have thought about writing a letter to these pharmacist when I'm given a hard time just to let them know I actually was a normal person once. Depression is normal with chronic pain.I'm on anti-depressants as part of my PM regiem. Please talk to someone about getting some help with it: with meds and therapy, depression is part of chronic pain. I'm sure all of us can attest to that. It hits me hard when I see someone where you are,there is light at the end of the tunnel.
I looked up dr Aballey and he is a General Practitioner, is he still allowed to write for oxy? Did he take the 8hour class and test and get certified for Pain? If not he will get shut down and we'll be looking for new doc all over again. Personally i dont care if he can only treat hamsters LOL i dont want to habe to search e ery couple of months. Tenncare will redflag me, if they havent already, due to doctors malpractice and negligence.
Bridget becare with dilaudid! 35 years ago i used it recreationally so i already knew about other routes of ingestion. It really only helps with pain taken one way. No, it will not get you high so dont even try. BUT! A side effect is muscles spasms (thats what ur doctor wants!) then you will gladly take their injections! Dilaudid does make you lethargic and apathetic if you have poor tolerance to morphine. If you are okay with hydro and roxicodone stay away from dilaudid. They will not work again after taking it. Very poor cross tolerance. I too was in school and active in my community on roxicodone but since dilaudid ive barely left the apt. Due to my dog injecting it they lasted beyond my discharge (read above post) that was a month ago and my body and head are still DEAD! When my phone rings i just look at it and dont even have the gumption to answer it. I miss school and due to hospitalization missed this semester as well as last and now financial aid is a mess. Praise God fasfa is on deferrment but the school isnt. They want their money now and beong on a fixed income ill have to go elsewhere, use the pell from that school to pay back the other school then resign up there and have classes from other school transferred to regular school WHEW! All due to a little pill that i kept complaining about. All they had to do was prescribe my the regular roxi which i was taking but they refused. Just be careful with dilaudid switch if you can, im having ahard time finding Tenncare doctor in nashville area---good luck
OMG! I clicked on a doc referral her and wound up on page 7 and couldnt find my way back to current! LOL What ever happened to chat rooms?
