Does anyone realize the DEA specifically states pharmacists have a corresponding responsibility to ensure all controlled substance prescriptions have been written for a legitimate medical purpose. Stop blaming the pharmacists and techs. Pharmacists only get paid when they fill prescriptions. Don't you think they would fill it if there were no repercussions. They aren't playing doctor or God.

My question is where did all these pain patients come from? 25 years ago, before oxycodone 15 and 30mg was invented, this wasn't a problem. Were people just laying in the floor screaming and crying waiting for God to send oxycodone to the world. Nope. Doctors have created addicts and now we are stuck with them. PharmaPurdue lied to doctors in the mid 90s and told the doctors OxyContin wasn't addictive. Doctors over prescribed the drug and started all this crap. The FDA fined PharmaPurdue a couple hundred million but they still made billions. I blame doctors and PharmaPurdue.

Here's a thought. If you are in real pain and have a local doctor, have your local doctor recommend his/her local pharmacist. The dr can call the pharmacy and talk to the pharmacist. They can see to it that you are taken care of. If your doctor is more than about 30 miles from the pharmacy, you can forget it. Pharmacists are too scared to fill for doctors outside their geographical area.

Please don't ruin it for us in TN. Why the long distance driving to a pain doc? How many do you have to sell to cover the cost of gas? Please stay in your home state so that folks who really need doctors can get prescriptions in their own town and fill them at their local pharmacy.

To the 'legitimate pharmacy personnel' who posted about having surgery to 'fix the problem', and all persons who think the state is only filled with drug-seekers - you need to take a breath and back down a bit. This advice is going to come from a past-pharmacy technician. Who is also a Georgia native, a Georgia resident, and who has their medication filled in Georgia by one doctor at the same pharmacy every-single-month. A Georgian who is also - extremely intelligent, well versed, and abundantly read on what medications I put inside my body, as well as, new laws such as - GA House Bill 178 - which was in its final amendment and implemented as of July 2013. ( I do recommend all legitimate patients AND you do this, read the laws). You need to take a breath and back down, immediately. Why do I read so many things about prescription drugs and laws that govern them? Because, not only do I know it is to address the pill-mill problem which has moved from the state of Florida; but, because I myself am a patient. I want to know what every-single-medication does to my body. And, why? Because it is the intelligent thing to do to keep me informed and - because I absolutely hate putting these substances into my body - and, hate reading such irrational, erroneous garbage such as your statement all the while having to deal with chronic pain and horrid pill-mill debacles. Take a breath, read, and realize there are actual persons behind some legitimate conditions. You are not helping people like me, you hurt us. You hurt us with your stupidity, lack of understanding; and, obviously - being in the wrong field by holding a career of customer service. All the while, showing how utterly absurd it reads to have someone/pharmacist/tech post four letter words in a response. Who is going to take you seriously and professionally? So, let me inform you as a legitimate patient, who - has five back surgeries - which has resulted in permanent neuropathy - which has resulted in permanent muscle damage - permanent muscle weakness - sores on my legs which never heal - and, lastly, being in pain 24/7 even WITH therapy and medications. IF you think for one moment spinal surgeries just magically get rid of all your pain, you are sadly mistaken. You are living in a dream-world. You obviously have zero personal experience. Thus, when you are handing out 'advice' to people telling them - urging them - to 'fix the problem' with surgery - you are a danger. You are not a doctor. And, clearly not a patient. You are a pharmacist, sadly. And, I do mean sadly, because, when a legitimate person as myself has to get their medications filled - and, believe it or not, there are people such as myself who would rather not live their lives in 'four-hour-increments,' who would rather not have to even see another pharmacist as yourself, who would rather not be told their conditions are permanent and will only get worse - sadly, we have to deal with you as well. As if we do not already have enough to deal with already in our day to day lives. We have to be thrown in the same 'stew' as drug seekers. Therefore, you live your work-life with blinders on totally unaware of the damage you cause by encouraging surgery. Unaware of how much you make a legitimate patient feel like a criminal. Unaware as the lucky-one to pass a healthy judgement. And, very unaware you are adding fuel to a disabled-persons emotional state of unrest. And, so, when I walk into a pharmacy like yours - I am treated like a pariah, an outcast. Who do you think you are? What gives you that right? IT is people like you my friend who are just as bad or worse as the ones who are drug seekers making my life more unbearable with these new crack-downs. Crack-downs on medications which deaden my pain enough to do simple tasks such as going to the market. You need to reflect on the career path you have chosen. If you want to speak harshly against persons who are using these medications to get a high - you are going about it entirely wrong. You do not help someone like me at all. Would you go into a Parkinson's Syndrome or ADHD forum and tell all of them they were taking medication just to get high? No. When one deals with chronic pain, it is easy for others to pass judgement. They do not see any outward problems less my scars. My pain does not show up as a color for all to see. If I were to dare to meet someone with your thinking, your reckless manner, I would lift my shirt to point out the scars I bear. How dare you. You should be ashamed.

WOAH! There cowboy, first of all keep in mind that opium was used and legal for 4000 years before so eone thought is was addictive. Why? Because white women shakcjed up with chinamen and negro men. Why did it take that long for addiction to be realized? Because as legit medical communities started using it and big pharma started playing with it to stretch their profit, all kinds of crap was added to it. The withdrawal really comes from the ether alcohol used to process it to whichever drug, much like alcohol DT's. Take your cannibas and poppies and use for health and recreation like God intended and yeah, some substances have no cap limit on dosage. People have been CURED, let me repeat that i. Case you ddnt hear me CURED from multiple personality disorder, cancer, seizures and more from high doses of opiates so dont give legit patients a hard time about something you know nothing about.

I posted a lengthy response to 'Inside' and, yes, I agree he/she will probably not be back again to 'defend' his/her views. In the meantime, I have extensively read all posts and entries created here - to all pain survivors, and, I do intend to call us survivors because living in pain 24/7 while maintaining (or trying to maintain) a normal life is brave, enduring, and difficult for us to even believe at times. But, yet, we endure.

First, a thank you to people in the pharmacutical industry for providing me with some references on reading I should look into - whether it be for a lawsuit/info on a manufacturer, important information on drugstore-chains, or simply to give whatever advice/information one may have which, can provide insight for me when filling future prescriptions - cop-outs one may give, making certain my doctor is approved, etc. I, personally, think it is great advice to keep me safe (having copies/proving my singular prescription history from my insurance co., any doctor notes, my ID card for my implants & hardware, etc) and make me feel like I can have a bit of power or control over my ailment. Instead of always feeling powerless or one controlled by it (the pain, condition, permanence). Again, thank you.

To two of the other posters here:

@Carnie - I do not know if you have a chronic pain issue, I do not want to assume if you do or do not have one. However, I can tell from your post you have little or no sympathy or empathy. I can tell you are making pre-judgements on everyone who takes some form of oxycodone. Lumping us all into one group - this seems to be a trend. Patients on oxycodone! They must be illegitimate drug abusers! I honestly hope you change your way of thinking or open yourself up to the possibility there are legitimate patients, such as myself. From the way your post is worded, it is rather confusing - it does sound like you work for a pharmacy - because you tell [us] not to blame the pharmacies. But, later in your post, you blame doctors for 'creating addicts' that you now have to deal with, so you are blaming the doctors?

As a person in legitimate chronic pain, I do want the DEA and the FDA to find a fair, working manner in which they can weed out people who do not need pain medication, as well as, find a working manner in which patients who are in legitimate pain are able to get their pain medication and not feel like a criminal. It is quite cruel to consistently have the rule always be the rule with no exceptions. This is the basest form of discrimination. Since I am a legitimate person with a disability and in chronic pain - of course - I do not want persons who are taking medication for some sort of high to get away with that abuse. It angers me to know it is people such as these who go doctors (then pharmacists) and receive a prescription for nothing at all - zero ailment. Just as it would anger anyone with a condition or disability to witness a person receiving benefits they should not - whatever they may be. For these abusers to falsely go to the ER, doctor, etc and in turn cause these types of problems? Yes, I want these people to be prosecuted, of course. Because it in turn brings medication to a point where it makes it either impossible to get it filled or impossible to know if the pharmacist is legitimately out of the product or if he/she is just giving me a line in order to save his license or store. I would rather a pharmacist honestly tell me they are trying to cover their assets than lie to me and force me to believe they are changing distributors or awaiting an order. I worked in a pharmacy, and, if the pharmacist tells you they are awaiting an order - follow up with, when will the order be in stock? I will come back and pick my prescription up then. If they look at you like a deer-in-headlights, you do not even need further verbal explanation to what they are doing. That they are lying to you. And, if there is something a patient needs to have with a doctor and a pharmacist - it is trust. I have a plethora of documentation, records, and scarring to show I am a legitimate customer. I have been lucky enough to go to a great pain management doctor and I have a great pharmacy. But, what happens if I cannot use that pharmacy one day? People have the right to know if he/she is there to help and serve his oath to help rather than over-compensate for a psuedo-DEA investigation that has not happened as a sort of pre-emptive strike. Or, a DEA investigation that could currently be happening. All of this - at the cost of a legitimate patient. That is who suffers. The pharmacist and employees will still get paid - most are paid hourly or by salary. They are not paid according to each script. And, when the pharmacist and employees are also making decisions about filling prescriptions based on their feeling - not by fact - yes it is their fault. Because it rests with them to fill it or not. When they make decisions to use any excuse/lie necessary in order not to fill that prescription - not by fact - yes it is their fault. And, it does not state anywhere that a pharmacy/pharmacist/tech is required by law to fill a prescription. So, in essence, the buck stops with them, with their judgement. So, I can completely understand a legitimate patient blaming the pharmacy, pharmacist, et al.

Oxycontin has been around since the early 1900s - this is not a recent drug. 'Where did all these pain patients come from?' For me, it was someone smashing into my car sending me to a surgeon - thus, after surgeries the surgeon sent me, himself, to a pain management specialist. Since, the DEA and FDA have created so many new laws surrounding opiates in the past 30 years to the present - family doctors are no longer able to prescribe them and neither are surgeons for a long duration. One is sent to a PM Specialist basically, when there is nothing more that can be done. Persons such as us did not just 'pop-up' out of the blue. It is the drugs that are in the spotlight more than ever, thus, it seems like there is an influx of patients with chronic pain. There is certainly an influx of abusers, pill-mills, and laws. And, as I stated before, I do not mind the laws - I would like laws where persons did not use the medication I am on to live a half-way normal life as a high. But, lumping everyone together and in-turn making it hard on persons with legitimate disabilities and pain to receive help is not a healthy answer for society as a whole.

On your final thought, oozing with spite and negative connotation which is really not needed in my opinion. Good luck getting any doctor to give their 'personal' pharmacist. If you are speaking of what their office uses - it will not matter anyway, a doctor cannot call-in these types of prescriptions. The only thing your doctor can help you with, in this area, is telling you that, 'ABC pharmacy will fill my prescriptions because we are affiliated with the same hospital, in the same building, fill all of my patients prescriptions, etc.' Sometimes it boils down to politics, like a great deal of this issue does, if the doctor is affiliated with a 'chain' of hospitals one will have an easier chance of finding a choice of pharmacies. If the doctor is affiliated with a private hospital, it is best to find what pharmacy is in/near that hospital and it is usually not a chain. That is really the only useful bit of information I can find out of your post that could help people in pain.

@duh: Try not to lump everyone into one category and try not to start your nickname with such a negative slang/observation. If you try not to, you will promote acceptance, tolerance, fairness, and sympathy. When you are in chronic pain, these things are important to witness in your fellow man. It would be great to see more people who are not in chronic pain on here being positive, supporting a friend, supporting a family member, etc.

There are many of us who try extremely hard to deal with our ailments without resorting to medication. I have tried homeopathic alternatives - including a spinal cord stimulator. But in the end, many of us including me, have no other choice but to take medication. If I am to even come close to enjoying life in a positive way. I know more about medications and procedures than some medical personnel I speak with - as well I should, it is my body. My responsibility. And all of these scars and surgeries are personal to me. And, I am totally aware of what these certain medications 'could' do to my liver and other organs - which is why I have blood work every six months. I am also aware of the physical dependency - which, please, do not confuse with psychological - and how differently my pain receptors are because of taking medication. I am aware of all of your 'points' you discuss. But, I am also acutely aware of the horrible quality of life I have when I do not take my medication.

Case in point, I have told doctors in the past I was going to try to stop all of my medication - against their advice - I did it. And, it was a harsh - harsh realization to come to - to know, emotionally endure, and physically feel I could not even do the simplest of tasks. That, I could not even concentrate correctly to stay on ONE task. So, do not lump us together, do not liken us to pitiful creatures who are 'resorting' or 'debasing' ourselves when we do have to take medications.

What will I personally do when the medications do not work as well - well, I already do it. I never increase, even after seven years of surgeries. Part of that is to exert my bit of control I do have over my own body. Part of it is so that I will not be twice my age and on twice as much. Do you actually have chronic pain and know how hard it is to hold yourself to that? But, I am proud of myself that I do it.

To both duh & carnie:

I can tell you, I learned the hard-way what it was like to point the finger only to have it happen to me. I 'thought' I could relate to a relative's chronic pain. I 'assumed' if they put their mind to it, they could overcome it and not have to ingest medication daily. After my car accident, I learned very quickly how little I knew and how - unless you are that person - you have no idea what it is like to live their day. Perspective and understanding are crucial. I would not wish what I have on anyone - not one soul. And, I know, it has changed my life - forever. For a person who was never in the same place more than 3 months, ran cross-country & the Peachtree Road Race, and never even took a tylenol - to someone with permanent disabilities now whom rarely leaves their home is harsh. Hopefully, you will not have to have it happen to you. Hopefully you can take it from someone in pain all the time. That, we already deal with 'some' doctors, insurance, surgeries, nurses, pharmacists, drug abusers, fellow patients, fellow posters who give glances, nuances, and opinions without really thinking - what would it be like if I had to live like that?

Spinal Survivor thank you for your post. I had many friends on the streets that were merely addicts who bought, sold and traded their pills for crack, money whatever. I too judged them..I understand now why they didi what they did but i also remember that the amounts they used to get high or nod out were microscopic compared to what I as a legit pain patient use! All the media fuss is just propaganda. Cannibas and poppy are something truely self sustainable as the liberals call it but it also collapses their big pharma and big govt. goals. There have been courageous doctors who prescribe monstrous amounts of opiates andhave CURED folks of things. Sadly theve had to retire before being attacked and arrested. I wish Dr Phil would ease up a bt. Not all opiate users are brain damaged. Ok yeah im a bit bipolar and went off track but ok Spinal, I appreciate your lengthy well informed posts.

Hey Inside Guy,

I'm fairly certain the doctors writing the prescriptions are your boss and essentially a pharmacist is to ensure that prescription gets filled correctly and does not interact with the patient's other medication(s).

Their job is NOT to ascertain whether "the patient" needs them or not, that is what doctors are for....I now see clearly, the Pharmacists not filling the prescriptions have gotten a God Complex and suffer from delusions of grandeur. Perhaps they are keeping all the oxycodone for themselves and that is the real reason they don't want to fill the prescriptions, because then they would have to live in the real world!

I live in Oklahoma and have been on pain/anxiety meds for over 2 years due to an accident. My doctor treated people that had nothing wrong with them, gave them meds, he is now incarcerated for murder! I think people abused their meds, but I wasn't one of them. I went to a "clinic" today, I'm using the smalest portion of meds and ibuprofen/acetaminophen and OC sleep aid. I'm having panic attacks and can't bear weight on my knee. I went to a doctor I've never been to before and he basically lauged me out of the office, claiming even my old doctor (the one that first prescribed anxiety meds years ago) must have lost his license. This is not true. My knee wasn't even looked at! I'm not sure what to do. I can't sleep more than 3 hours without my xanas, and I can't walk without pain. I work full time, I'm just trying to live painfree, with sleep and no panic attacks. I need help and don't know where to turn. I have insurance, just don't know where to turn.

I know what that's like and am sorry you are having trouble. I had severe back pain, could not sleep because of the pain but still had to work. I live in Georgia but finally ended up going for acupuncture, which after a few treatments, finally had some relief from the pain. I was surprised. I think a lot of docs are scared to prescribe what the patient needs now.

I wish there were something we, as patients could do to wake up the medical industry. Back in the 18th and 19th centuries when opium, cannabis and other substances were legal;for recreational use as well. Opium was orescribed for everything from menstrual cramps, fussy babies, depression, diabetes,and so on. More than 25% of the American population was full out addicted to opium. Funny how that was also when more things were invented, industry advanced and America was doing great. Unfortunately when the government decided that mexicans, chinese and negroes had become an integral part of society and they wanted them gone, excessive taxes were place of marijuana and opium. Since it was not the lower classes that used them but societies elite they could afford the extra tax.

Marijuana/Hemp was used for everything from fiber, fuel, food, medicine, and so much more. Dupont, Rothschild and Shell oil were threatened by the competition and helped propagadize the evils of reefer. We need to build an army of informers. Its taken too long to get marijuana legal again and that and opium should have never been criminalized to begin with. The biggest fear society had was when white women began to have relationships with negroes and chinamen. Imagine that. Greed and racisim are behind the problems of pain patients not being able to get the help we need. Doctors are afraid to prescribe more than 4 30mg per day of oxycodone when in reality 240- 300 is a. Ormal dose for those taking for a while. When given to people during research amounts will increase and increase and then flatten out to an average of 300 mg per day. That is not to feel high but to relieve depression, pain and any other ailment they may have. I feel so bad for those who cant get what they need and I myself am getting sick of running out, when the dose i need is only 2 measly pills a day but could get the DEA in my doctors business which they have no business doing. God bless all of yall and my advice: read Opium for the masses, bolar and the Opiate cure by Dr. obert Cochran and any book you can find. Read, i form yourself, and speak up to your doctor with info you have found, write letters to your congressman, the medical board in your state. We need to be able to get the help we need. Just because somebody else over did it why do we have to suffer?

What a nightmare, I was switched from oxymorphone ER to oxycontin er and it was difficult to find it. I thank my pharmacist for looking for it for me AND explaining to them that I am legit and yes they can talk to me over the phone. Of course prior authorization is killing me, I've been without anything for about6-8 days and cant tell if I'm getting sicker, better or just in limbo waiting on all the paperwork to get sorted out. I should have known that anything ending in "morphone" will eventually knock me out and there isnt enough oxycodone in the world to offset the lethargy it creates. Hopefully an ER oxycodone alone with my IR oxycodone will keep me pain free and back at a normal life.

i urge ALL of us start doing what i have been doing, take your smart phone in with you and hit record, i did this a couple of times and seems to get their proper mannerism, THEY know they are telling us whatever it is they want to and that it is illegal, they alos know MOST are just pill seekers and when you say you dont have it, they assume you are just going to give up and move onto the next, NOT ANYMORE! im tired of being made to feel as if i am a criminal, they have us on camera 24/7 when we come in their store so why cant we film them. start posting on their social media pages, post on youtube using their store name as keywords, once the word gets out something will be done, IT TAKES US AS PATIENTS, NOT PILL SEEKERS, LEGIT PATIENTS TO START FILMING THEM. I PROMISE YOU WILL SEE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PHARMACIST, KNOW YOUR PATIENT BILL OF RIGHTS AND EXPRESS THEM IN THE VIDEO, LET THEM KNOW FIRST OF ALL YOU ARE RECORDING FOR LEGAL MATTERS. SOMEONE ELSE BESIDE ME TRY THIS AND REPORT BACK ;)

Your right! We are legitimate patients not druggies and we need to stop whispering "narcotics" or "opiates" its simply medicine! Not to change the subject but some pharmacies have crazy hoops to get syringes yet a diabetic could also be a heoin a ddict and use them so it can get confusing, a friend i ave take 2 benydryl and a beer and goes nuts, back in the fifites they used to eat aspirin with coca cola so why the fuss over our medication? Some folks can always find something to abuse. DEA needs to worry bout who they catch on the street and leave doctors alone.
