Filling Out Of State Meds (Top voted first)
UpdatedI need to travel to Washington state from California next month because my sister has cancer and I will be providing her care for 2 months. I will need to fill my prescriptions for Methadone 5mg and Percocet 5mg. Will I be able to fill it there?

Diane,
I'm sorry to hear about your unfortunate duty to come.As your aware both Percocet and methadone are highly regulated narcotics.It is highly unlikely an out of state pharmacy will fill these without a advance communication between your prescribing PHYSCIAN and the drug store of your choice.Even with that pharmacists have the option to fill or not depending on their judgement. Sadly most will not but please make all attempts ahead of time so your not left without your medication. Wish I could be of more assistance to you.
Since I live in Washington state, I have to agree with the prior poster, check everything out, before you travel, there are many places here that will not fill them. Your best chance is, if you are using a large chain pharmacy that also has stores here, or if your doctor can contact a pharmacist or another doctor here and set things up in advance.
The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.
Does anyone else have any ideas or suggestions to offer?
