Filling An Rx For Percocet, Same Dr. Prescribing (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

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?

I have gotten post dated prescriptions and I see no problem with it. You bring it in to get filled when it is time and who knows about it. If you are worried about that being illegal the ones that even know about it are you and your doctor. If your doctor will do it go for it.

I also wanted to say sorry for your loss too golfman. I have never heard of Kratom. Is that like GHB or something. I really don't know but it seems like one of those that can slip by people without knowing. I thought health foods were relatively safe but who in the hell really knows. Someone mentioned the FDA getting involved in that market. Maybe a good idea.

For the guy with having his wisdom teeth pulled and on Suboxone. I don't want to preach to you but...There is the antagonist in there (Naloxone). What you are going through is why I told my doctor not to prescribe (Subs) them to me anymore. I was afraid if I have major surgery the Naloxone would keep the opiates from working.

From what I have been told by doctors and even my own that if that were to happen, when I really need it for a bad accident,, it's not going to work or as well.. I have heard that people (addicts) that have OD'd because they would take the opiates just after the Subs and not get the usual high and keep taking more until...... I invite a reply if you disagree because I am not an expert. I just hear what I am told by professionals and people.

And for the person that said Subs only relieve pain up to a certain lower mg; I believe it from my own experience.... Also. if you want to hear about all 4 of my wiz teeth that were pulled, 2 of them were impacted. I don't know what someone's threshold for pain is, but for me, after a day or 2 at the most, my pain was very tolerable without pain meds. Even though I was prescribed 5 mg. percocet, I didn't seem to need them as I remember, but I do remember a lot of gum irritation. Maybe anti-inflammatories could have helped me better. I can't take them now because of my stomach condition and nosebleeds. It was done a long time ago in my late teens BUT one vivid memory was my stitches broke and the doctor did not turn up after I was waiting for 2 hours in his parking lot hemorrhaging in the middle of the night and calling him twice trying to get him to the office to repair it... Blood tastes awful to me..Ahg!

Nervie (# 37) --

Sorry to hear about your loss... There are no official reported deaths from Kratom (by itself) and I have to question where your son got his Kratom from as not all sources are pure... His death could've very well been the result of ingesting too many impurities or a laced product, depending on the source.... Secondly, I would question how much your son was taking at any given time?

To insinuate that Kratom caused the death is the equivalent of saying marijuana killed someone... (which is almost laughable). However, there are synthetic and laced versions of marijuana that have killed people... Just not the real thing.

Re: Kristyne (# 42)

My hubby gets three scripts and they are post-dated. I see them and I get them filled for him. He gets three and they are post-dated for those three months. He just picked them up this month.

I've also taken Kratom on and off for well over a year now and never experienced any problems stopping it, nor any withdrawal symptoms or effects. I also know people who've taken it much longer than I have with no bad effects. I think people talking negatively about Kratom are either paid pharmaceutical reps or simply didn't receive a pure Kratom product. Truth is, it saves many lives and there are no "official" reported deaths from Kratom (in and of itself) over thousands of years of use - much like marijuana in that sense. The nay-sayers should stop spreading FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) on things they know nothing about.

If you re-read what I said, don't take Kratom for pain without knowing what is causing the pain-- he had an underlying condition--would not go to the doc and he was found dead face down on the kitchen floor-- KNOW why you need pain mess-- don't take indiscriminately-- I thought this was a forum for info on a new med my Doc prescribed-- non pain-but it seems to be an underground place for people seeking drugs. I won't be back.

Re: Why (# 27)

Post dating, is no longer legal.
He should have written her a different dose, for "breakthrough pain."
CVS is now are against 90 day amount, even though my own insurance told me to request 90 day amounts, so I have no copay. Kind of hypocritical, because I got my prescription handed back to me with "TMP" stamped on it. (too many pills)
Its NOT TMP if you see it is a 90 day supply, and I have been doing it like this, since May 2017, with no dirty looks,or humiliating remarks.

Re: golfguyjoe (# 36)

That is illegal. You cannot have more then ONE doctor writing narcotic prescriptions. (CVS & my health insurance told me this)
You are lucky they did not catch it, because you could be arrested.
There is a system in place, that cross checks who you got it from, and ANY other narcotics prescribed.
I had 2 different surgeries, from 2 different surgeons. One will not write a prescription, for a surgery they did not preform. Plus, NO PHARMACY will let you hand them 2 prescriptions of the "same dose", from 2 different doctors.

The pharmacy believes, that the medication prescribed, should help with ALL surgery sites, (I do NOT agree with this)
I know, that I need something different, for my neck (ACDF 4 levels), then I do for my circumfrential lumbar fusion, and then my XLIF fusion.
The pharmacist at CVS disagreed, refused to fill it, so I went to WALGREENS.
They filled it but it took 5 days.
My neurosurgeon is banned from CVS still.
His receptionist, told me, "He let Dr Perillo use his prescription pad." (He was a pain med doctor, that left the practice, 3 months ago)
Now he is blowing all of us off and my XLIF is not even 6 months post op.

Hi~ I'm sorry for your loss. Kratom can be addicting for certain individuals. When some people try to go off Kratom they might wish they died. Go on these YouTube videos and listen to people that are going off of Kratom. Good luck.

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......

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.

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!

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

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: 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.
