well im in this boat too im termanial patient in west pasco county florida new port richey area and have been on oxycodone 30mg tablets since 2007 everyday of my life and now in nov 2011 a tech. at florida pharmacy on james st . npr florida told me in late dec that they could notfill this medication for the amount they are getting paid by the state to supply it.

my medicade ins covers this medication at florida pharmacy in new port richey florida claiming that medicade will only pay 69.00 for 180 tablets and that that would be enough according to tech that was working there on 11/28/2011

now the place has been restaffed and new staff says not able to fill it there for 3 weeks now
claims they are not
***getting the medication in there orders** ..

well do they realize the dea has info on every pill recieved by these places and to deny that orders are coming in is wrong and we can prove with help from state and goverment agencies that the mom and pop pharmacies are cashing in on these issue of avalibilty

mom and pop indipendants pharmacies are not stupid they are smart they want the most for the pill they can get
the less the recieve the more money can be made charging higher prices to cash buyers

well thats sick and should be illegal

it's funny this place is where i filled them for 4.5 yrs each and every month with 8 others medication without complaints from techs of the cost

it's
seems as if its a money thing at the mom and pop places here prices are being hiked up now again due to this game playing with peoples life

i have been told that 998.00 for 180 tablets is current price at the neighborhood pharmacy sr 52 hudson if they have them
thats insane
and
profiling now being used at walgreens at sr 52 and majestic blvd hudson florida as well on tuesday last week last time i was ejected

profiling is or was being used there 12 days ago
we made complaints to walgreens corparate heads.

they had the medication last tuesday

but do to the fact
i had not been thereas a customer for last 6months prior i was told i couldnt get it filed there

make note this is our needed legal rx's and and they can be verified as well !!!

now the place in holiday like walgreens in holiday is writting on the rx's tellin customer to come back in 30 min when you return for pick up they say a mistake has been made by front counter girl and the medication is not instock
but they are pharmacies are writting on your rx's now making un fillable anywhere else
then your stuck going store to store being rejected
told to bring the rx back to whom ever wrote on it..
and this i complained about at the us 19 and darington road walgreens until i complained to corparate now they swear they dont write on them unless they can fill the rx
not the case
there corparate heads lookin ito a video of my last visit
tech claims she didnt write on it but she did on video but i have to wait as long as 10 days from last week to hear from a district manager after he veiws the video of tech writin on rx
they have video at walgreens and should beable to see where the tech wrote on the paper
its for security and is over head
well if they work itold corparate it will show myself complaining about the writing all over my rx when it was returned to me
instead of myself being handed back an rx which was legal and told by head pharmasist i could bring it to other phramacies and they could try to fill it but she was out and girl just made a mistake .

well im sittin now 12 days no medications for my servere pain and my ins. wont help the doctors are being bombed with phone calls making it to where they are losing time and money over these issues

is there any light as to why or where a pain patient can get there medication ?

same problem here. People who do not suffer from chronic pain have no idea what it is to live with this affliction. they just want to point their fingers and call you a drug addict.
This is terrible. I thought people that suffer with chronic pain had rights to treatment.
I tried physical therapy for a year to treat a very painful condition from an injury which was no fault of my own, until one day I came home from physical therapy, sat in my chair and tears began to run down my cheek. I do not cry, I did not even cry when I cut my finger off many years ago.. I am a fifty year old man that has tried everything possible to treat my pain without using pain meds. Nothing worked, it only became worse. I have MRIs that shows I suffer with three diseases and a compression in one area of my lower back. Severe Stenosis, extensive sclerosis and arthritis (Arthritis affects my entire spine). My neck has 4 compromises, three compressions at the nerve root and a ruptured disc. There are times the pain is so bad that I have blurred and double vision.Without medical treatment, I can not get any sleep. The muscle spasms in my upper back makes it hard to breath. When I wake up at night, my hands are throbbing numb and my neck muscle spasms are bad enough that it is possible to actually see them sticking out from my neck.
I can almost reach completely around and grab a hold of the muscles. There are also times when it hurts to even swallow. It takes about two weeks of relentless treatment (pain meds, muscle relaxers,inflammation meds, heat) to get the muscles to settle down so I can swallow. I tried everything possible not to take pain meds but, it was to the point of too much, I had to do something for relief. The constant pain drains the life out of you and hurts my family because all I want to do is sit in my chair and try not to cause the pain to increase.
I had finally worked out a routine of keeping the pain down by preemptive treatment and not letting it get real bad before trying to stop it. Up until recently, I was doing ok and functioning as normal as could be expected.
I have to constantly hide the fact that I have problems because no one will want to hire someone that is hurt.
My day consist of going to work, paste on a smile, do my job ( and come home and by the time I get home, I have to limp into the house and just sit down.
Now, I have no relief because I can not get my legitimate prescriptions filled at the same pharmacy I have always gone to. It is very embarrassing, not to mention a waste of time, gas, and money having to travel to every pharmacy in the area only to be told "NO" we are out and we do not know when we will get more.
I do not understand the "High" that everyone talks about and why so many people that do not need the meds wants to go to such extremes and break the law to acquire it. I do not drink alcohol, so is it the mixing of alcohol and pain meds that gets people "High"
or what ? I just do not understand what it is that attracts people and causes them to go to such extremes to abuse these meds. I do not feel "high" when I take them, all I know is it certainly helps stop my pain, not completely all the time but, it does help considerably to stop my lower back and legs from throbbing and helps with the awful neck and shoulder pain accompanied by head aches. I can actually get some sleep.
If I do not get help and the meds I need, I will be unable to work and support myself and family. The people that depend on me will suffer as well. I had six people working for me until this economy has made it so damn hard to get work, now I have to work by myself because I can not afford to hire anyone. I am barely hanging on as it is. I do not want or believe in "hand outs", I believe that if a person can work and has the opportunity to work, there should be no excuses for not working.I have worked my ass off my entire life and in fact, I like to work and have no problem doing so. Not having any help, I have to do everything now and my work is physically demanding.
So why and who has the right to interfere with my treatment that enables me to keep going ? I feel like my rights and my doctor patient confidentiality has been violated. YES, if someone is breaking the law and has no legitimate reason for taking pain meds, than they should be held accountable, they should be held accountable for not just abusing prescription meds but, also for all the pain and suffering they are causing the people who are in need of medication. Now, because of their actions, a lot of people are in pain and suffering needlessly.
Pain medication has been around for hundreds even thousands of years for A REASON and that reason is to help people try and have some quality to their lives. It is not prescription medication that ruins lives, chronic pain and drug abusers destroy lives. By taking my meds as prescribed, I can function and carry on with my life, there are some days I actually feel fairly well.
The fact that my medical treatments (which I pay dearly for insurance, deductibles, co-pays) are being denied, my rights are being violated and the fact that I have never broken the law by not telling the truth abusing or selling my meds,doctor shopping etc. I am made to suffer.
Four different specialized doctors and the stack of paperwork have all said the same thing and the diagnoses are all the same, my conditions are very painful. The only treatment that has offered any relief is pain medications. Believe me, if I could change my situation, I certainly would because this is such a burden, having to go to the doctors office every month, chasing around pharmacies to find my meds, always having to remember where they are, scared they might get lost or stolen, O yea don;t let them come up missing, you wont get more, even if someone breaks into your home and steals everything, you will not get them replaced. I had to buy a safe just to keep my meds safe. But what choice do I have until something is done to correct the situation.
Now we have a whole new criminal organization to deal with. Not only the Drug Abusers but, the people involved in the organizations who are once again, trampling on our rights as U.S. citizens. Our rights of doctor patient confidentiality and our rights not to be forced to suffer and deal with the hassles caused by criminals. Law enforcement needs to focus on the criminals and leave the innocent alone. The people who suffer every day of their lives have already enough to deal with and do not deserve to suffer and pay for the crimes committed by others. I can promise you that, and I'm sure I can speak for the majority, we did not ask for nor want to be in the situation we are in but the reality is, WE ARE, it is already bad enough so why do you choose or feel that you have the right to make it worse ? You really believe you have the right to take away our rights ?
As a note to people who do not suffer with chronic pain:
If you do not understand what it is to live with this condition, just keep in mind that people that are in pain commit suicide all the time. So, you had better hope you never find yourself in this situation, and if you do, wait until you see how it feels to be looked down upon, be forced to run in a rats maze, have your rights trampled upon, (again) and have your legitimate necessary medical treatment denied by a non-medical professional...... when all you want is not to suffer and have some sort of quality to your life.
WHY AM I MADE TO SUFFER because of the actions of others ??

I had an elevator fall on me. I used to work for otis elevator and live in largo florida. I have been going to pain management for 7 years, this doctor is not a quack, she gives you a full exam every month and only takes on so many patients. I have had 8 major heart attacks, i have been lucky up until this month and i am about to run out of my methadone, i have been out of my roxy 30s for a month now, i am very scared of what is going to happen when i run out of my methadone. I could die over this, which the pharmacy does not care the indian guy up the road st. marys pharmacy says yes he wants 9.50 a piece and no insurance and i see people shooting up in his parking lot, they should rot in hell, wallgreens has been ok with me even calling me to say hurry up and get here we just got them in usually friday. I am now hearing do not know when next order is in, i do not drive so i am unable to go to 500 pharmacies. I wonder if i could order them by mail or go to mexico????

This is a HUGE epedemic here in FL. Been taking Ez for 3 years now and had no problems filling until Sept.2011. Now its hit or miss. Usually driving to 30 pharmz before I can find them. It all depends on the pharmacist. And it is if they think you are an abuser or not. Stereotyping individuals. Dress nice and be polite is my best advice. Out of staters are destroying our rights as well as bad drs, pill mills and the DEA. Not fair to us, the people that depend on these meds to function everyday. A real pharmacist should know what can happen if we cannot get our meds. Side affects and sickness can be fatal to you and those arround you. No joke. This has to be corrected. Also, I believe that its really messed up that a pharmacist that is usually not born of this country can control your fate. I am beyond angry at this whole dilema and need some answers. I hope it gets better because right now people will rob, steal and kill for the blue devils.

And please ignore typos ... I am tired and can't sleep due to shoulder pain. Trying not to overuse my Hydrocodone so I am a tad sleep-deprived and making typos one right after another... Also, if I ever seem to get on someone for not trying to stay "sober" and letting the drug ruin their life, it is because of what I see in my girl and how horrible addiction really is and how difficult to kick the habit... It leads to street drugging really quickly! Sorry.. I am over-wound and over-tired!

It is rather ironic that most of you are talking about FL as not being an accessible place to purchase pain meds. I have a daughter who is an addict, and it break my heart that the system tosses her in jail for a couple of months and lets her go. At NO TIME do they offer any type of rehab! She is broke and destitute and needs HELP! I am too ill to take care of her so all I can do is pray! And would appreciate if y'all would add a few words of prayer for her, too.... if you don't mine.... Thanks

Folks, look under groups when you search for my "American Pain Foundation Action Network For Florida Residents" group listed above in the post.If you have no luck there then leave a message for me on "American Pain Foundation Action Network Florida." That is a page. So look under page for that one. I am the Admin on both. The group and the page. So, I will find you. They won't let me leave my full name on here. But you can add my first name then look for Ratliff. You can find me by combining both of those names also.

I haven't been able to get mine filled for over week myself. It's a bunch of BS that the smaller pharmacies will take "cash only" for these things, since most of the people paying cash are the ones reselling them on the street. Meanwhile the people who actually need them can't find them anywhere. TPTB need to stop making people in pain suffer, when there's at least a little bit of relief to be had, because of the actions of stupid people who abuse them. Donna has it right too, they look at you like you're a drug addict looking for a fix.

Hi Donna, I can't find the group page that you are on. Can you send me a link. I would like to join you. I have been in pain management for years and currently take oxycodone 30 mg. I have not been able to fill my scripts, and am facing horrible pain and sickness. I live in the Fort Myers area, and would appreciate any help you could provide, as I am desperate. Thank you!

I live in SW Florida (Fort Myers area), and have been in pain management and on Oxycodone 30 mg for several years now. I went to the doctor last week, and still can not find a pharmacy to fill my perscription. I keep getting the same answer, they are on back order. Does anyone know how to contact the manufacturer to see what the problem is and when it will be resolved? I don't know what to do. I am going to be very ill if I don't find them. Does anyone live in the area and have any suggestions? I am desperate to find them.

Donna,
First of all, let me start by saying THANK YOU! There are so many of us that are in REAL pain and have REAL MRI'S/Diagnosis's that are left traveling the county in search of a place to get our meds. Its difficult on pain patients to say the least and it is absolutely humiliating to have pharmicists that have been filling your scripts for over 20 yrs start to look at you as though you are a drug addict, despite the fact they have ALL of our medical history and meds we've been on for such a long time. I was told by MY 23 yr pharmicist that she would no longer fill my prescriptions because I recommended them to another pain patient, is that even LEGAL? She tells me, she can refuse ANY person she'd like to. 23 YEARS of more than JUST my oxycodone script!

Okay, first to explain, due to the extremely high risks of being robbed, yes, some pharmacies have stopped stocking high risk medications. Even though it can be an inconvenience for their customers, there is nothing that obligates them to do so.

And yes, in cases where you are from out of the area and they might have problems verifying the legitimacy of your prescription, they can get away with refusing to fill it, even if they have it in stock. They are allowed to do that, if they have any reason to be suspicious, whatsoever.

I am very sorry for all the problems this causes those of you that have legitimate prescriptions and legitimate need, but these are just the plain facts.

Just as an example, there are some counties in the state of Maryland where the regular pharmacies do not carry any controlled substances. There are only a couple that specialize in it, which have special security measures in place, so you have to locate one of them to get such prescriptions filled.

Now, the next question is, how are you all checking to see if they have them in stock and will fill your prescription?

If you are just calling around to various pharmacies, you are not likely to get a straight answer. Due to the same risk of being robbed, most of them will just tell anyone that calls that they cannot fill it and do not keep such medications in stock. If you just call, they have no way of knowing whether or not you are a legitimate customer with a need, or if you are a potential thief.

Therefore, to get an accurate answer, you actually have to go to the pharmacy, with your prescription in hand.

If you want better pain care and better pharmacy experiences you should support me in getting your voices heard. Contact me on Facebook on the American pain foundation page. I'm on the first group page that has the most members. There are meds available but they will not tell you on the phone. Best thing to do is find a smaller pharmacy and talk with the owner or manager. Large franchises are not personable. They won't save them for you or make sure your meds are on hand every month. We have work to do in fixing this mess.

Jeremy your best bet is to look at the smaller pharmacies and not the big chain pharmacies. The smaller ones should carry them since they are paying cash per unit. They are not funded by local and state government to get their supply. I'm sorry to hear.

I am a 39 year old male with pain from breaking my hip and femur, herniated & bulging discs, and head pain from fractured skull/brain hemorage. Unfortunately this medication problem is very true. I have been trying to get my prescription of 30mg oxycodone 120 quantity for a week. I have checked over 30 pharmacies from Tampa to Zephyrhills. All tell me they are out and don't know when they will have them. They say that there is a limited allotted to Florida and there simply isn't enough to go round. When I went back to my DR to have him change script his staff said "because of the new printed prescriptions we are using you can't get it replaced without an appointment and the soonest we can see you is Oct. 17th". This is totally unacceptable to me, however there doesn't seem to be a thing I can do about it.
