Filling An Rx For Percocet, Same Dr. Prescribing (Page 2)

I was issued 2 scripts from the same Dr. For 10mg/325 Oxycodone. Due to Surgery last week total Hip Replacement! I know I will have to pay out of pocket cause my insurance just filled at beginning of the month. He gave me 2 due to tolerance & going through PHYSICAL THERAPY 2 to 3 times a week! Why won't a pharmacy fill this for me if I am getting them from the same Dr?

Yeah Maria...I bet her Dr. post-dated the 2nd one. I've had my Dr. do that a couple of times on a triplicate where he couldn't write in any refills. I hadn't thought about that!

Have the dr write a script for a different mg. So get another script fot different mg and take in the 10 mg script. You cant have 2 scrips with the same mg

The price of 10-325 percocet is not expensive at all. I had the same thing happen to me. I told the pharmacy on the 2nd prescription I would pay cash for it. There was no problem. The price for 40 of the 10-325 percocets were $37. Good luck as I know how it is to have to have pain medicine being in chronic pain for well over 15 years. I am just glad there is pain medicine out there to help curb the pain for me.

Hi Ed~
Can you tell me WHY a Dr. would write 2 SEPERATE scripts for the SAME EXACT MED...SAME AMOUNT...SAME STRENGTH to be filled on the SAME DAY!!??

I don't get why the Dr. wouldn't JUST write 1 script for the total amount. Thanks.

Tommy,
It looks like there are two Paul's in here, I am the one asking for the link to the forms to fill out for bad Percocets (U17-generics.) I have some that I won't take either so they are up for testing from me too.

First of all Sorry about what you are going through but most people should know that Pharmacist Are God's Now or so they think. Your Pharmacist Will NOT fill them. If I were you, I would call your Dr. that wrote the prescriptions and make him change it. PRONTO- tell them what's going on and they should change it unless you've taken to many. With your surgery it's probably Take As Needed, Please be careful and Good Luck. Please Don't Sit around in PAIN!!! All else fails try another pharmacist and TELL them what's going on. Good Luck-

Hi all~
My hubby gets three prescriptions every three months. And they are all post-dated. I bet you this doctor just forgot to post date them. I would call and double-check. You don't want to get in any trouble. That wouldn't be good. Good luck and I hope you feel better.

Tommy, got your message about FDA. To tell you what I think about if a doctor wrote 2 scripts on the same date, he is playing games with you or he is not a real doctor. If the script is close within the date, like if you had to go back because you had to use more for pain because of your developed tolerance or the bad generics, you will probably have to pay cash IF the pharmacy will fill them for cash. If you cannot find one to fill them, your best bet is to get the doctor to call the insurance company first then the pharmacy after if you have to pay cash. For Humana they have I think what is called a pre-authorization where the doctor has to call the insurance co to get something special. That is Humana though. I don't know about other companies or what type of insurance you have.
Paul ET.

PS. Sometimes I bug the Humana to call the doctor and vice versa. Keep on them. Good Luck though.

Re: Maria (# 18)

Wow, pharmacies now know more than Doctors?

Every month, on the same day I fill...
1) Klonopin 1mg ^ x3
2) Flexeril 10mg ^ x3
3) Suboxone 8mg x1
4) Ambien 10mg
5) Prilosec 20mg x1
6) Lamictal 15mg x1
7) Topamax 100mg x2
8) Seroquel 15mg x1
9) Effexor. 75mg x3
10) Ranidine
11) Furosemide 40mm x1

Over counter....
12) Multi Vitamin
13) Vitamin D
14) Vitamin B12
15) Iron
16) Vitamin C
17) Monthly B12 shot

My husband is a heart patient, 3 heart attacks, and also PTSD, chronic pain, the list goes on. He gets about double the amount of prescriptions I get.

So I need to choose anxiety, chronic pain so I don't wd, or muscle relaxers, so I can wash my floor, do a batch of laundry or just sit for a long car ride? I would change Pharmacy's, call Corporate for written policy...although nobody can make a pharmacist fill any prescription.

Re: Nick (# 14)

GREAT post Nick. We need to get the government out of our medicine cabinets. I suffer greatly from RSD a nerve disorder. Most days I can hardly get out of bed because the pain of walking. I run out of my meds from time to time but I can't get a refill until the 30 days is up. Mind you I am taking 5mg of Norco which barley touches the pain. Most days I just don't feel like being here any more.

Re: SheriAmore (# 24)

I had 2 scripts from 2 different people. One was from my regular pain doctor and the other was from a doctor who I just had surgery with. I really should not have filled the one from the surgery because I have a contract with my pain doctor, but I sometimes need more than I take that is prescribed for my chronic pain so it is nice to have them on hand. Sorry for the confusion.

Re: ED (# 31)

Okay...that makes sense! And I understand about getting extra for when your pain is worse. Trust me...I know ALL about that! I've had chronic migraines for 35 years. Before my small town Independent pharmacy sold out to CVS last year, I was able to get all of my meds filled when I had used 3/4ths of the Rx (or @ Day 24 of a 30 day Rx) because that's when our insurance would cover them. I'm thinking that, for some reason, TAMMY'S Dr. wrote her script twice. I can't figure out why he would do that...makes me think that we didn't get the whole story. But...oh well...only Tammy knows & she's not talking!! LOL!

Re: Helen (# 29)

It is a pain. They only do it with C2 pain meds it's cuz all those meds can cause breathing problems and even more so when combined so they just won't let people fill all three cuz if someone overdoses the pharmacist's can be held responsible so since the government is getting involved the pharmacist's are now worried about dispensing these kind of meds

Hey Patty,
If you ever have 9 major surgeries without pain meds, more power to you. I couldn't take the pain, keep your junkie opinions to yourself until you go through what reality of pain is!

Re: rammsteinfan (# 9)

Omg you poor thing!!!!! I hate that it's come down to patients rights being violated by the FDA!! To have surgery without proper pain meds.... so sorry!! I'm a nurse, what I've seen & then have gone through, having so many major surgeries myself, I've never seen so many people unethically punished by not receiving proper meds! I bet the FDA members never suffer after surgery!

I have no idea why you are so hostile with me? My original post was supposed to say "the people who illegally sell them or abuse them are to blame" for strict control. So unless you resell your pills or are an addict, keep your hostility to yourself.

Hi~
I did answer your question. It's probably most likely was a backup script for the following month. No way would a doctor do that. Not nowadays. No way no how. Call your doctor.
Good luck......
