Filling An Rx For Percocet, Same Dr. Prescribing
(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?

Nothing you stated needs to be treated with opiates. Take your arthritis meds and get your hernia fixed. Numb isn't pain! You seem to be the kind of person we need to weed out, so real pain chronic pain patients can be taken seriously!

Get away from that pharmacy. No chain Pharmacys. Mom and pops are better. This pharmacy is not a doctor. He does not have a license to be one. Run to another Pharmacy.

Have your doctor write on your prescription Brand Name Medically Indicated. Also have him check the box that says Drug Selection Not Permitted. Chances are you will have to have your doctor do Prior Approval for the Brand patchs.

Did you get a copy of the Consultative Examination the doctor did ? You cannot be denied because you are a Christian ? What did the SSA doctor say in his report ?

Do you see your treating doctors regularly ? Have you gotten copies of your medical records and read them ? Did you appeal the decision ?

Well, all I can say is lucky you are getting them and all these shots I get don't work. They don't want to prescribe any opiates for me. I had all kinds of surgery, Total knee, Cervical Spondylosis.there no fix for it, Lumbar Spondylitis no fix either, Osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, Ab Hernia. and an elbow tuck surgery leaving my elbow totally numb and so there are not enough shots they can put in me to help rather than hurt.. I refuse to go back for the shots because they do more harm than good. What do they want, to stick me all over the place? That is where all of my pain is. They do not help but doctors think they do so they don't have to write. So when I feel bad which is just about every 20 to 30 min I've got to lie down until I find a doc that writes. And who knows who does until maybe 15 visits.

Because its the laws. And all these Muslim brotherhood that are working for the government as disability doctors. I was denied disability because I'm Christian. The doctor said he wouldn't see me because I came from church and I had a simple wood cross on my necklace. He said it offended him and that was good enough for the State to Florida to denied my disability claim. What is going on with this country.?

Actually, it's heroin laced with ILLEGAL carfentanil (coming over from China) that addicts are OD'ing on. I highly doubt that the FEW CP patients who get Fentanyl divert it to the streets, right?? Check out all of the CPP's & pain info & advocates. We've had it!!

Re: Need to help (# 71)

I have Medicare only with Humana for prescriptions and I just got a notice about only being able to get a prescription for. 30 days. That is the time I always get. I am worried because is fentanyl 100 mg patch which I need real bad. I have to m sure they do not want me to generic. These people that are abusing this medication and killing themselves is making things hard for us the ones who need high doses of pain meds to make it through the day. It sucks. I was told by a pain doctor a few years ago that out of all people that are in pain only 5% of us actually need a high dosage. I feel for everyone and just hope I am good and stay the same with meds. Merry Christmas to all.

i don't understand what you mean by your doctor having given you 2 prescriptions due to your "tolerance and going to PT a few times a week". 2 of the same prescription, one to fill now and the other is post-dated and you already have it that way for next month? you can't get more than one narcotic/controlled substance prescription filled within a 30 day duration of time. No pharmacist would fill both. If it is a matter of "tolerance" as you say, I take that to mean you are suggesting your doctor is comfortable with prescribing you this medication, which is his right, of course, however, he would still need to make this just one prescription, and of course modify the quantity and/or dosing instructions. I don't understand why your doctor wouldn't prescribe for you the desired amount and dosage, but logically in one prescription instead of 2. The one Rx is useless. All prescriptions for controlled substances expire after 7 days, so if it is not approved & filled at pharmacy it's void.
Even if it is a situation where perhaps you are getting more than what is considered the appropriate or average prescription, that is business between yourself and your doctor and even if some pharmacist wants to give you the ol stink eye and look at you as if you are some kind of raging drug addict, if your Rx goes through, that's all that matters. In addition to whatever Pre Authorization you have on file with your insurance company, which I imagine you have for this medication since I'm pretty sure a PA is needed for all CSs, normally one is good for a year if your doctor is normal and knows you don't need the hassle of having to keep updating expired PAs, he may have to add a clause or note to your PA on file with your insurance company stating why your dosage is of medical necessity, just to keep the Drug Nazis happy. I went through this with a different medication and it was quite a dance and I had to learn the moves and man it took a while, and it wasn't even anything questionable, but you know. I'm sure insurance provider is a factor, as well, especially if you have Medicaid AND live in blue state. God help you, ya know?

The way medications metabolize in your system changes when you become a senior. Usually seniors take more medications than younger folks do. This can cause problems. Usually seniors have more health problems that can affect their ability to breath. Which can make it easier for them t overdose.

If your doctor won't prescribe you pain medications you need. You need to find another doctor. If you aren't seeing a pain management doctor. You need to start. You might have to see several doctors before you find one that is the right fit for you.

Re: Paul (# 66)

This script was from a pain clinic doctor. But we are seeing a lot more scripts from regular doctors that are only prescribing one week worth of pain meds even on Tramadol. I hope they don’t start doing this on people that have been taking these meds for years. That would cost people a lot of money and time

Re: LAK (# 67)

At my pharmacy if the doctor writes for a certain amount of pills if we partial them then the patient can’t come back later to get the remaining pills cuz this is considered a refill and by law you can’t have a refill on a C2 med. This is only for C2 meds. Some insurance companies won’t pay for the full amount and when this happens, we can either just fill the amount the insurance will pay for and the patient will have to forfeit the remaining pills or the patient can pay cash for them all.

Re: Kristyne (# 43)

Post dating is LEGAL, the dr can give patients 3 scripts at the same time as long as they are post dated. Some pharmacies will hold the post dated ones and put them on your file and some pharmacies, like the one I work at, will tell the patient to hold onto them and bring back on the date that says when they can fill it.

Re: Need to help (# 71)

They say Granny's are the worst because they have grandchildren who take them for themselves or to sell them. If they fill 1 week at a time patients will know by looking at the bottle if some are missing, than a 30 day supply.

Another reason, the Elderly are treated like crap, by working all their lives, to now be treated awfully by the State and Government. They are basically living in poverty, and may sell a few of their 30 day supply, just to get by.

They may also give them to family members, who con them into them into giving them "a few pills".

All this because Granny loves their family, and doesn't want her family to be in pain. She may only take half of her supply and "help" whoever doesn't have health insurance.

**NeedToHelp, I in no way suggest that you do any of the above... My Aunt, who passed in February, used to give her son pills, but they were really for his wife.**

Hi~
I feel for you. I know so many people are so stressed out over the new laws. Including myself. And they're only going to get way worse. Because of so many of our youth dying. Where I live they bring in portable morgues to handle up to 18 bodies. Yes I said portable morgues. How sad. That just breaks my heart. I will walk a country mile if it will save someone from od'ing But, they are cracking down really hard on the people that are doing the right thing. I guess they cannot tell who is doing it right and who is doing it wrong. I was told by my pain management doctor they just can't tell who is doing it right and who is doing it oh so wrong. So they just decided to blanket everyone. There has to be another way there just has to be. I will be 60 September 30th. And it's rough on so many of our elderly that just cannot walk right or whatever the deal is. I've been pretty lucky in that aspect. Some of our elderly people getting where they need to be on time and going to the pharmacy and just all of that is just crazy. And sometimes the pharmacists look at you like you have a third head. There has to be another way.
But like I said. I would walk a country mile if it saves one childs life. I was told by the nurse practitioner that they have more trouble with the grannies and the older people. Like they had a granny and they nicknamed her crack granny. And she was thrown out of the program of course. But they did give her two chances. And that surprised me. So I'm just holding my breath that everything gets better.
This epidemic has to stop. We have to help all of these people somehow someway. Do I know how no I don't. But I'm willing to help anyone. Within reason as long as they're willing to help themselves.

Have a great day.
