Fill Oxycodone Prescription Las Vegas (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

I'm just curious if a pharmacist could tell me why they have to "verify" my oxycodone script? when they verify these prescriptions with the prescribing doctor, what exactly is being verified? Does the doctor himself have to take these phone calls all day from pharmacies? if im already in a pharmacies computer and getting same meds for a year, then isnt that adequate proof that my script is legit? or is something else being looked at? Thanks for your answers: )

Yep, welcome to my nightmare, They busted my doctor of 10 years on Nov 13 2013 , no referral to new doctor, I was totally screwed , I went into full detox and almost died. No one cared, I finally found a dr. But he only gave me 30mg time released mscotin every 12 hrs and 1, 10 grm norco, went from 150 mg of roxicodone which wss wonderful my life was great, to 80 g or garbage, but when u hit that horrible detox you will be grateful for anything. I never understood why anyone would do H. I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND NOW. I am an athletic person , marathon runner,and now I gave trouble washing my butt. Why would the Government do this to real pain people.

I have been on oxy 30 mg for 3 years and all of a sudden my pain Dr is putting everyone on Opana 30 XR. ( generic is Oxymorphone) I just finished my first 30 days they do not work nearly as good as Oxy and the Opana works about 6-7 hrs if I am lucky. I talked to my DR about it and he told me that they are going to stop making OXY.... what??? So he can not prescribe it anymore. So he changed my Opana to 40 XR see if that lasts longer. I did ask my pharmacist and he did verify that they are cutting back on OXY and that they were raided last week for reordering OXY, this is a big chain reliable grocery store. He said they are watching the DR and whom is dispensing them. What sucks is those that need the drug for chronic pain relief has to start over to try to find something comparable, is there something?? my pharmacist gave me a couple names of other meds that I should try if this does not work, Good luck Nevadans but by reading on here its all state.

Do not start taking any of these drugs it is a nightmare I have been legit pain from Lupus back injuries and multiple surgeries . 10 years ago it was easy to get ,and still easy to be prescribed to , but the Pharmacies will not fill the prescriptions anymore . It is a horror every month wondering if they have enough to fill your prescription, because the DEA is breathing down the necks of the pharmacies so hard that they are very secretive about why and what to do . Whatever you do run from this medicines it is the worst feeling to not have them when you are addicted and only takes 2 weeks of continuous use to get hooked . Then you will have the pain your dealing with plus a worse painful withdrawal ever 6 hrs if you don't get more .... RUN!

I know this is a little late from your post but the small part I read before I got so angry I was boiling said that 20 and 30 year olds dont get pain like that. I am 26 years old and have a list 2 pages long of what is wrong with me and its been going on for more more 10 years. Yea I agree there are those that do whatever with their meds, but I am a freaking legitimate pmp and it is so wrong of you to accuse a 20 something year old of being a drug dealer. Read some facts and the diseases that cause infants and babiea pain. No one derserves that. Its not fair to a single one of us. But do not put me down because I am in chronic pain and just lost my job because of it. You do not have to be old to be in pain! Oh this my blood boiling.. I hope you see this!

Walgreens got in trouble with the DEA and the agreement in the Las Vegas area was that they will due further due diligence on schedule drug scripts. This was a deal the DEA and Walgreens made. That is why it takes the time it does.

It is my understanding (though the pharmacy is very secretive about it all) that they have to verify your DEA record and also the doctors DEA record, and then also verify that you actually went to the doctor and what he/she prescribed. I'm not 100% sure but this is what I have learned from researching online. And that this is what certain pharmacies are choosing to do, it's not actually a DEA regulation, policy or law as they like to tell you to sound all important. This way, if they think you fit the "profile" of someone that isn't in legitimate pain (how they can tell this you got me) they don't/won't fill the prescription. In my opinion it's going to get worse and it's going to take a class action lawsuit by the people that are truly suffering to get anything done. If and when that happens I'll be one of the first to gladly join the bandwagon. This is all a severe invasion of privacy and over control on the pharmacists part. True.

People in their 20s really do get chronic pain. I can vouch for that being a 26 year old female who has been in severe knee, back (lower, middle, and upper) neck pain and pain in my feet that is so bad that I have to crawl out of bed in the morning.... Worry about your own pain and not what people in their 20s have.. Just be fortunate you didn't have to go through that so young!

@ Patricia - I'm 28 years old and have Lumbar/Sacral Chondroid Chordoma (a bone cancer of the lower spine) The fellow patients I see almost daily as we receive treatment for an astonishing number and variety of almost always intensely painful bone cancers are of all ages, including a heartbreaking amount of children. That is just one clinic treating one type of disease - point being that pain is no respecter of age and that we should not judge, but be a respecter of ANYONE dealing with living a life while trying to manage ongoing physical pain. I know that this is not the subject of this thread but I felt I had to comment as I deal with this situation all the time. I look young and reasonably fit and receive a surprising amount of negative feedback when I am not able to function as people seem to think a younger normal appearing person should.

What physicians in las vegas prescribe oxycodone if you don't have a track record at a pharmacy or a history from a doctor. I've gotten them for a while for pain from friends and they work wonders. I would like to get them legitimately. Can anyone make a recommendation?

off and on for several months now I have had trouble getting my roxy 30's filled. finally, last month my doc just took my script back and gave me double the amount of the 15's. even had trouble finding them but did eventually. now the Walgreens are saying 24-48 hrs. is because they not only check if you actually went to the doc you say you did, but also a DEA check on you and your doc. unbelievable invasion of privacy but since the Patriot Act and 911, well actually before that, the laws were changed to give pharmacies access to all your medical information including history of medication taken....EVER!!! so yes, it takes awhile because they love to dole out the meds like it belongs to them! Most of them are addicts themselves or in on the scam. I've seen 25 yrs. olds getting roxy 30's filled along with soma, xanax, etc. excuses me but you don't get into that kind of pain in your 20's or even 30's!!! Everyone knows whats going on. I just want my script filled so I don't have to hurt and can have some quality of life. It's bad enough my pain mgmt. doc makes me come to his office 6 times per month for shots, iv "pushes", "procedures" etc. or else he wont' write my script. I don't like being treated like this but this is what I have to do so they can bill bill bill my insurance company and they know I will do it because I need my med. to function. They are just as big of crooks as the rest of the gang in my opinion. IF THIS COUNTRY WASNT SO DRUG WAR CRAZY WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO BE TREATED LIKE THIS.

I was just told that it could take up to 24 hours(Walgreens) to get my 30mg oxyodone filled, I have been on this medication for years. This is the first time I have been told this. I am as curious as you are. I requested the same brand that I filled last month (the IR) because when I am in pain, I wan to feel the relief instantly, not wait for the extended release to kick in. I have had to back surgeries and have arthritis in my lower back. I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO GET WHAT I NEED. IT IS NOT FAIR THAT PEOPLE THAT ARE TRULY IN PAIN AND REQUIRE A STRONG MEDICATION ARE BEING PUNISHED BECAUSE OF DRUG USERS. I am sorry, very irritated. What pharmacy are you havig trouble with?3217590

Which type of verification are you asking about? There are actually two different types.

In one instance, they would just be calling your doctor's office to double check that the prescription is legitimate and in that case, no the doctor himself doesn't have to take the call, just someone at the office, such as a nurse, that can verify that the prescription was written for you, the prescribed medication, strength, dosing and date it was written.

Learn more Oxycodone details here.

The other form of verification is one that's in-house to the pharmacy filling the prescription. In that case a pharmacy technician or a newer pharmacist with less experience may read the initial prescription and count the pills to fill it and then a senior pharmacist or pharmacy manager double checks it to verify that no mistakes have been made.

I've experienced the second instance several times myself, when the pharmacy tech would get my prescription ready, but she can't give it to me, until the actual pharmacist does the verification of it.
