Fill Oxycodone Prescription (Page 9) (Top voted first)

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.

@RAE the oxy 80mg the green pills can not be crushed snorted, smoked or run.. it turns to a gel like substance..
The 15mg and 30mg are not like that at all.. yet...

Here in Florida Pharmacists are more suspicious.. you can come in looking all nice and sweet etc and they will tell you just like they tell everyone else and treat you to no better no worst than the druggie that walks in..it sucks but true.. so your Tenn Pharmacist is not City It hasn't Hit there yet but it probably will.

Get a referral from your Dr. in TN for a Pain Management Doctor In Florida you will probably pay about $150 or more for your Dr. Visits at least you will know that you have a legit Dr. that Pharmacies will fill scripts from..there are Dr.s that RX's will not fill scripts at all..

Donna , you said the pharmacist looked right
at your husband and said "I have the pills but won't fill for you"...when i came to Ocala to see my dad before he passed , the pharmacist @ the walgreens filled my #179 30mg oxys from my Dr in MIAMI and then again when i first moved here a few months later when i brought my rx from the sister clinic in Orlando he was pensive and gave me a list of the pain management dr's here in Ocala ( which is totally opposite from s. Fla - You HAVE to have a referral AND insurance !) for the next month ..when i went back the next month i told him i couldn't go to Ocala doc cause i didn't have insurance and he told me it was the last time he'd fill it...the next month I tried anyway but he told me he wouldnt fill my oxy rx from that clinic BUT he filled my ativan and Somalia scripts from that clinic !!! I went to the walgreens a few blocks over and the girl said she couldn't fill it cause it was another county and i showed her a paper i got from my clinic that said they couldn't refuse because of county (amongst other things but i later found out that the the state Is aware of this bogus paper that's made its way around and that the pharmacist can do whatever they want ) and she filled it..and the following month she said it was the last time cause she was uncomfortable with the clinic . Same thing we the other walgreens ...so they have the meds at the 3 walgreens within a few miles from my house but choose not to fill it. Unbelievable ! Just thought I'dshare since your words were the exact ones i was told . :)

@Leah exactly they can choose not to fill.. but not on morality like for Birth Control Pills that is different(they have to fill those)..

but yea..it is so wrong that they have put every person that takes oxy for legit pain in with the druggies..

but like I said it is getting better at least in the Tampa Bay area to where people are being able to get their scripts filled unlike 4 months ago.. eeks that was a nightmare

I feel for the Northern States they have not a clue what is coming their way soon.

yikes!!! i am in a northern state- well, north of tampa anyhow- nashville i just spoke with my pharmacist and he gave me a number to purdue to ask about what the top coat is made of and the pharmacist at perdue stated that it does not have laytex but, could have a glue base which would account for my rash that is getting worse and sticky substance in my eye. She said she would have to report my symptoms and asked for my zipcode and suggested i ask my dr for morphine next time if still out of opana. so... if anyone else is having symptoms call and report to purdue at 888-726-7535

thanks for reply- i understand the idea behind teh new pills but those of us who take them should be told what this new stuff is made from... i am on disability and therefore medicare ins. My son is trying to make me his dependant since he is army and since he makes up what my disability does not cover in supporting me-
i will start making calls and yes, i am in my 40s, use a back brace and walker and i felt like a crimminal having to go to several pharmacies in ft myers to fill a script for just 120 roxi and opana. while all were kind, was told they did not have in stock.. finally gave up.. the prices for one mail in place was like 320 for a mere 15 pills. CRAZY! i have a sister in CA that smokes instead of pills for her condition and she swears by it... she reminded me of when i was a teen and tried the stuff , I broke out in a bad rash so not sure if i am willing to look like an oompa-loompa to be out of pain, but... may get to that point!

Hi Donna R, its Leah Cohen. First of all, i want to thank you for your incredibly helpful response . I am curious though about the list of legit mail order pharmacies for patients with NO insurance . If i didn't have a special discount card through the state of Florida (and usually only accepted @ the big chains , which btw, limits my pharmacies ), I could never get my medicine ! All the small pharmacies charge at least $5/pill..x 170...!! My daughter has Cystic Fibrosis and since i have to take care of her and can't work (I'm a teacher ), we live on her ss and ss disability ($685/m). With my discount card i only pay $100 for #170!!- Thank G-d. Also , I want to join your group painfoundation.org...if i understand correctly , I'll see your name and email address under "State Leader ", correct ? And I'd also like to be involved in your Facebook support group but I'm Embarrassed to say I don't know how to do Facebook ...ugh.

@rae Love the husband's PM in Pinellas. Pinellas Pain Management on McMullen Booth Road. Very, very professional. Only DR that has tried to help, going beyond PM, requesting surgical consults, etc. Highly recommend.

IM FEELING VERY FRUSTRATED HERE ALSO...MY HUSBAND IS ''29'' YRS OLD AND HAS A KNEE REPLACEMENT AND TWO TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENTS. RECENTLY HE WAS TOLD THAT THERES SPACE BETWEEN THE HIP REPLACEMENT STEM AND THE BONE( THERES MOVEMENT CAUSING CHRONIC PAIN)HE HAS DAYS WHERE HIS PAIN IS SO UNBEARABLE IT BREAKS MY HEART THAT THERES NOTHING I CAN DO FOR HIM. HE GETS PRESCRIBED THE OXYCODONE 30 MG AND EVEN SOMETIMES WITH THAT IT STILL DOESNT TAKE THE PAIN AWAY. THE PASSED SEVEN DAYS HE HAS BEEN TRYING TO FILL HIS SCRIPT AND GETS THE SAME ANSWER ''WE DONT HAVE IT CALL BACK NEXT WEEK''(AND WHEN WE DO CALL BAK OR COME IN NOTHING!!), ''WE STOPPED CARRYING THAT MEDICINE''(WITH NO REAL EXPLANATION), OR TODAY MY HUSBAND CALLS A LOCAL MOM AND POP PHARMACY( THAT HAS CARRIED IT FOR YEARS) A NICE LADY ANSWERED THE PHONE AND MY HUSBAND TOLD HER WHAT HE NEEDED AND SHE ASKED FOR HIS PERSONAL INFORMATION AND SAID YES THEY HAD IT TO COME IN AND SPEAK WITH THE PHARMACY MANAGER BECAUSE HES REALLY STRICT AND LIKES TO SPEAK WITH PATIENTS TO MAKE SURE THEIR NOT PEOPLE WHO REALLY DONT NEED IT OR ARE JUST VISIBALY ADDICTS WHICH WAS HEAVEN TO MY HUSBANDS EARS CAUSE HES BEEN LOOKING EVERY WHERE..WE TAKE THE BUS(IT TAKES TWO BUSES CAUSE WE ARE WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR THE TIME BEING,MIND YOU WE ADVISED THE LADY OVER THE PHONE THAT MY HUSBAND HAD TWO HIP REPLACEMENTS AND RIGHT NOW W NO MEDICINE ITS PAINFUL FOR HIM TO WALK AND HE USES A CANE AT TIMES... WE GET ALL THE WAY DOWN THERE, WE TELLTHE LADY AT THE COUNTER THE NAME OF PERSON WE SPOKE WITH AND SHE SAYS THAT SHE WASNT SUPPOSE TO GIVE US ANY TYPE OF INFORMATION OVER THE PHONE ,MY HUSBAND FELT BAD BECAUSE HE DIDNT WANT THE LADY HE SPOKE OVER THE PHONE WITH TO GET IN TROUBLE FOR JUST HELPING HIM SHE LOOKS AT THE SCRIPT AND SAYS OK LET ME SPEAK THE PHARMACY MANAGER BUT TELLS US TO WAIT AWAY FROM THE DOOR..THE LADY TELLS THE MANGAGER THAT MY HUSBAND IS A YOUNG 29 YEAR OLD SPANISH MALE..AND THE GUY SAYS NO WE DONT HAVE IT (BUT WHEN WE GOT THERE, THERE WAS AN OLD MAN THAT HAD THE SAME SCRIPT AND THAT SAME LADY SAID THT THEY MIGHT HAVE IT BUT HE DIDNT BRING HIS INSURANCE CARD)..THE LOOK ON MY HUSBANDS FACE WAS FILLED WITH SO MUCH ANGER. HE EXPLAINED TO THE LADY THAT HE JUST SPOKE TO SOMEONE ON THE PHONE AND EXPLAINED TO THEM WE DONT HAVE TRANSPORTATION AND IT TOOK US 3 BUSES TO GET THERE AND THE PAIN HE WAS IN MADE IT HARD FOR HIM TO EVEN TRY TO MAKE THE TRIP THERE...THE MANAGER COMES OUT OF THE OFFICE AND LOOKS AT MY HUSBAND AND SAYS " AS A MATTER OF FACT WE STOPPED CARRYING THAT MEDICINE HERE INDEFINITELY!'' I WAS MORTIFIED (HE WAS A WHITE CAUCASIAN MALE IN HIS LATE 20's EARLY 30's) MY HUSBAND ASKED HIM IF HE WAS SERIOUS AND IF HE KNEW WHAT IT TOOK TO GET THERE..AND THE GUY JUST WALKED BACK IN HIS OFFICE. MY HUSBAND IS THE TYPE OF PERSON THAT IS VERY EDUCATED AND IS A GENTLEMAN TO EVERYBODY THAT GIVES AND SHOWS RESPECT. BUT IF YOU EVEN LACK A SENSE OF HUMILITY AND EMPATHY FOR PEOPLE THAT EXPECT SOMEONE THATS IN THE POSITION TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TREATING PATIENTS THAT REALLY NEED THE MEDICINE..IT JUST ENRAGES HIM ..BUT HE DIDNT LOSE HIS COOL AND WE JUST WALKED OUT I JUST COULDNT BELIEVE HOW THERES PEOPLE LIKE THAT IN THE MEDICAL FIELD I THOUGHT THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO CARE FOR THE PATIENTS THEY TREAT..IT WAS JUST SO VERY DISAPPOINTING AND I HOPE THAT SITUATIONS LIKE THIS DOESNT EVER HAPPEN AGAIN TO A PERSON LIKE MY HUSBAND THAT GOT TREATED LIKE HE WAS SOMEONE OFF THE STREET.

Finally- a group to voice my concerns as a current pain management patient in need of meds to live as opposed to wanting meds to ‘get high’ or sell on the street!!! Count me in Donna!!! I have facebook and will join directly- even though I am technically a TN resident, I am planning a permanent move back to Ft Myers in June with my daughter and grandson. We moved to TN from FL for me to have my surgery and my disability case was actually approved while I lived in FL. My son is in the Army and is trying to add me as his dependant since he provides a large portion of my support due to my only source of income being disability and SSI. If approved, I am really hoping I can do mail order meds and avoid the embarrassment and frustration that many Floridians (and elsewhere) who suffer from chronic pain are having to go through EVERY month. The new prescription drug laws, were written to satisfy parents of addicts now turned lobbyists that ‘urged’ by threatening lawmakers with what we- those in pain management also have- their VOTE. These new laws that are said to prevent addicts from shopping around for unscrupulous doctors (that will just send the same addicts to the same doctors now in back alleys and a phony storefront building- are harming those that have seen or will see principled doctors trying to follow the Hippocratic Oath and Standard of Care for pain management that comes from the many diseases and illnesses that affect millions of people every day! More and more caring doctors are leaving patients in pain because they are afraid the local pharmacist may report them to the DEA for writing what they believe are prescriptions for too much medicine- or perhaps writing for a person that appears to be disheveled and unclean- But hey, I wonder if that customer just left the clinic where they had radiation pumped into their veins for several hours/ or perhaps because they just had all their lower discs removed and 2 metal cages inserted! How can we as an educated society say the pharmacist that knows nothing more about a person other than their address and if they have insurance or not, now has the authority to say what meds they are entitled to have! This new law has done nothing more than place into the hands of someone standing behind a counter, a whistle similar to that of the school crossing guard that now thinks they are a police officer! Shameful!!! It should NOT be up to a pharmacy to decide which prescriptions it will fill and for whom. And how someone dresses or looks should not be a factor in a pharmacist deciding will they fill or not fill or to ruin the career of a doctor that is trying to alleviate pain and give back a life to someone that is dying or unable to stand behind a counter or even sit in a chair!!! Before we placed a stigma on the disease itself- now it is on how it is treated! If 1/3 of the funds used on the 'war on drugs' were given to science, we may have cures for the same disease that cause pain instead of simply giving a pharmacist a new 'hat' to wear while standing behind a counter that reads, 'beware, I judge a book by its cover' ok, I have vented and feel better... of course, i have my meds- this month anyhow lol

I live in TN. and have my pain meds compounded to get less tylonol, instead of 10/650 I get 15/80 so I can take more than 4 a day. The drug companies block insurance from paying for compounded meds, insurance will cover 10/650 tabs but not 15/80 caps even though it has the exact same ingredients. I had one compounded pharmacist tell me he would not fill them unless I brought in my medical records, he gave me the third degree on where my pain was, how long, why so much, etc. My Dr, called and reemed him out saying I am his patient and his job is to fill the script not diagnose the patient himself. He has no right asking for my medical records, pharmacies and insurance companies are being controlled by the drug companies, and sadly so are many doctors. The state and federal gov. needs to let doctors do their job and stop regulating and tying their hands. These legislators did not go to medical school and know nothing of people in pain, yet they are allowed to hold doctors back.

I do not have insurance either so I understand the problem. My doctor will work with you on any tests, the initial consult is around $100 -$150 which is not bad considering most places hit you for $300. As long as you have your medical records he will work with you, I get my meds compounded which is another hurdle. Most Dr. or pharmacies do not deal with compounded meds. I get less tylonol so I can take more a day. not sure why they will not post my address, it is hidden. I go by xxxxxxxxxx [1]...maybe it will post it.
