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.

To Shorty: Morphine is more addictive than Oxycodone and both Morphine and dilaudid not only work differently for pain but they have side affects that make it much more difficult and usually impossible to function in a job or in life.

It IS NOT someone else's choice of whatever meds they want to prescribe. It is also the choice of the patient. Oxycodone has the least side affects of any other drug especially for chronic pain.

If you are over 18 and you need treatment, there are a lot of other sources besides proving a medical condition to an uneducated loser Florida Doctor. I don't want to save lives of addicts by taking the lives of responsible working and functioning people away.

You don't even know how to write properly and you judge someone else? Chronic pain users are often guinea pigs of Demi God Doctors and through a chance miracle, they finally get prescribed something that allows them to have hope to achieve something besides disability and their Doctor dies or moves, so some Schmuck decides they want to prescribe whatever new bs meds they feel empowered to.

Our Constitution gave us a choice and our freedom. I****s like you take that away.

It no longer matters what you want. If you are in pain and poor they will force you to have invasive treatments and surgery NOT APPROVED BY THE FDA. You will get no pain meds. As human beings, according to the constitution, we have the right to live our lives equally but that right has been taken away by the USA government. No one cares enough to fight back, so the only choice is to buy or grow your pain meds or you can be paralyzed by one of the blood sucking anesthesiologists who will give you nerve blocks or nerve removal or back surgery etc. Easy way for Supremists to rid themselves of the weaker people. We are being targeted and eliminated from society.

Rather strident-however all too true. I've been told by an ortho who has no idea how to heal my bones and broken hardware to try "something like a rhizotomy" which I mentioned when he started nerve block discussion-I nearly had one in my face after nerve damage-then the anesthesiologist "mentioned" possible side effects-paralyzed face-increased pain-or a type of facial palsy-a very pretty woman in her early thirties? I deferred. Now at 63-this same block being offered for my leg. Pain meds or paralysis? Hmmm. Now I won't have a choice. I am Christian but I wish a year or more of the pain we go through on every fool who is in the DEA, CDC etc. I really do. No quality of life at all. To post #959

Re: The DEA is the New Hitler (# 959)

Hi guys, I'm from Australia and I follow your posts regularly as I am a fellow chronic pain sufferer. Its astonishing what is hapening in the USA with the whole opioid war. I do understand why the government needs to better regulate certain aspects of opioid prescribing. But treating every patient like a drug seeker is just ridiculous. Its a one size fits all system that ignores personal circumstances. Why cant there be a framework for approving opioid therapy for patients that truly require it. Rather than forcing doctors to treat every patient the same and reduce or cut out meds irrespective of their condition or length of time on pain meds. Doctors are trained to make such decisions, so let them. Have a system whereby another doctor must approve/agree with the first doctor's diagnosis to avoid innapropriate prescribing and to weed out dodgy people. How can it be legal or even ethical for a patient to have their pain meds reduced/stopped when they have serious health issues that are proven and documented and cannot be disputed? Isnt that a breach of patient rights? Human rights? Medical negligence? I agree the system needed reforming to weed out dodgy doctors and pill mills, and innapropriate prescribing practices, but to punish every patient irrespective of their circumstance just doesnt seem fair or reasonable in a democratic society.

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!

To all of you that are interested. Lisa, Patricia, cashly, Jeremy,Verwon, and anyone else, I just finshed making the pages for my APF site. Ok. There are 2. Both are under "American Pain Foundation Action Network For Florida Residents" on Facebook. 1 of them is a PAGE on Facebook, and the other is a closed GROUP for members only. Please come on over and join, I'll add you to the closed group. The page is for lots of info about chronic pain from APF. Please join this one also, so you can sign petitions that come available for our legislation rights to bills. There both new. I just got done completing them yesterday and I would love to have you join me.

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.

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 ??

Donna,
I have been trying to figure out where to leave you a message. I have been in pain management for 4 years after 2 failed back surgerys. I can not get my pain meds anywhere. I was with a pharmacy for 2 and a half years and then apparently they got their supply cut so I no longer have a pharmacy I can depend on.

I called this number on Monday. Bottom line: If the pharmacist doesn't like the color of your shirt, they don't have to fill your rx. Exact words. Don't waste your breath. I am livid. There are 3 walgreens right up the road from me that have the medication but after 2 of them filling for me the past few months, now say they aren't comfortable (next county), and the 3rd was going to but when he called the next morning to verify, it went to voicemail and my 75 year old mother even went to him since i was in too much pain and he gave her back the scripts!! Called my clinic numerous times but to no avail. Oh my gosh....

First it has gotten so bad because of our wonderful drug enforcement agency has to much power and doesnt want people who have pain to get buzzed. Legally obtaining a presciption with a legitimate pain issue. triple spinal fusion and they want to mess with me too. I drive around for hours on the days after getting my prescription trying to get them filled.
SO I AM HERE TO SAY I HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION TO HELP PEOPLE WITH INSURANCE WITH A LEGITIMATE REASON TO BE GETTING THEM. I DO NOT SUPPORT ABUSERS. BUT IF YOUR INSURANCE USES EXPRESS SCRIPTS YOU MAY QUALIFY FOR HOME DELIVERY. I NO LONGER DRIVE AROUND. I GET OXYCODONE AND 30MG OXYCODONE. I GET EXTREME PAIN IN MY LEGS AND I WORK 40-60HRS A WEEK THESE MEDS ARE MY BLOODLINE AND WITHOUT THEM MY KIDS WOULD STARVE AND MY BILLS WOULD NOT GET PAID,.

well.. pharmacists can refuse to fill a script and they have.. NOT for moral reasons..supposedly... if someone looks drugged or drunk etc "Of Course" they will refuse just like a bartender etc..

BUT!!!!! they have No Right To Judge Any One on what meds they take OR how much dosage The Doctor is giving in a legitimate prescription..
that is judgmental and they should be turned into whatever State you live in to The Board of Pharmacy
