Generic Oxymorphone (Page 3) (Top voted first)

Had my Dr change my ER med to Oxymorphone. Went to Walgreens and they told me NO generic. Talked to the other Pharmacist, he looked it up and BAM, they had them from actavis!! Saved me 80.00!!!! So, the Pharmacist dont even know they have them

I wNt the dr to change it back to 40mg twice a day instead of three times a day. I don't think that is unreasonable? But don't jpknow if she will. In the mean time going to try to look for other painmanagemant. Take care!

Having the dr write the rx & it end up not working in spite of it, can't afford 1300.00 if that is the cost don't know, also if insurance won't pay for it. Also getting it filled. I talked to my pharmacist today & he said he can only get glibal. I told him that giant eagle can supposedly get global & activas but he said get some number from them & I don't know they will give it to me. I'm worn out dealing with this as u said u have been dealing with this 4 15 years so I think you understand.

Yea just go with Global/IMPAX if you can't get the Activis BRAND you have to try it at least once to know if it works for you. And I understand the money part but gotta do what you gotta do to get your meds don't want to be sick ya know.

Giant eagle told me they could possibly get activas brand depending on the day they order. Which one r u saying is most effective? Also do u know if they are all TRF BC I cld swear she told me the generics r not TRF. Again I don't necessarily believe what ppl tell me off the top of their head pharmacist or not. Tx 4 yur support. I took a benedryl thinking it may counteract the hives, etc, but all it did was knock me out. I want my life back. I'm sure you get it!

I could swear on this board ppl are saying that global/impax is most effective. Maybe I read it wrong as my mentation is off since taking these new pills plus I'm burnt out., no I'm cooked to the crisp.

The Activis and the Global brand DO NOT HAVE THE TRF IN THEM!!!! If you can obtain the Activis brand I found them to be SUPERIOR. But if you can only get Global it's still better than the Garbage that ENDO makes,with the TRF in it. I highly doubt you'll be able to get the ACTIVIS brand because ENDO Pharmicutal sued them and forced them to stop making them till 2025(or something like that don't quote me on the exact date)

Thank u for explaining. I did read an article about the legal suit but I don't understand it. Someone else just posted that they have impax at walgreens as of today. Who knows, maybe they are just for the staff lol.

In regards to getting oxymorphone er from walgreens, can you tell me what walgreens you got the impax at, as I live in greensburg pa & what date did you get them?

I have the same problem with Walgreens pharmacists not wanting to fill my oxycodone. 1 threatened to call the police if I didn't leave. He told me he "doesn't like my dr". I told him to please call the police as i took off my jacket and was in full uniform. He then filled my prescription. That's not right. If I hadn't been a police officer that wanna be Dr would not have complied. People need these meds for legitimate pain. I was hit long ago on my Harley by someone making a left turn from the right lane and broke my leg and hip at the time. Now it's pain management. These pharmacists like to play god.

I am loving this scenerio, some1 was caught with egg in their face. Tx 4 sharing. Update I did get the oxymorphone 30mg er generic & insurance did cover, however the PA @ the pain clinic left me on 30 mg BC of the allergic rx I had 2 the opana 30mg er brand, & I think they r much better. Of course my next refill she said she is going to take me down to 20mg three times a day didn't even ask how I was handling it. This will contine until I am down to their 90MMEso I am out on an island. I did call another pain clinic & they stated they can help me. I don't know what that means, shots, stimulators which I am not going for just to fill their pockets. My ? If any1 knows if I go to another pain clinic for evaluation dies this mean I am supposedly dr shopping?? How else do I get around finding a new physician to maintain some quality of life? Tx u all 4 your support eileen

WOW MACK, that's CRAZY that the pharmist said she was gonna call the police that's a first they usually just tell you no we don't have them or were not taking new paintents. And what are the odds you were in Full uniform and oh how she changed her ADDITUDE real quick. Like you said imagine if you weren't a cop that's so not right!!! If you don't mind me asking what state do you live in cause FL. is notorious for what you just stated I live here n know been through it 100x's it suck to b treated like that. Glad you Go t it handeled

Re: Ridley (# 54)

Ridley, I take OxyMorph myself, RRMS 24 years, my main 3 issues are pain, pain and pain. In addition, L5S1 herniation of my lower back. Thank God I have a neurologist that is not afraid to Rx these meds, took us years to find something that works, all the anti convulsants and tricyclics are useless, but all these eggheads say opiates not effective for MS pain, works great with mine ! After going thru hell with my new insurance for pre auth for the Oxymorphone, now we gotta worry about it getting pulled, literally because 150 "junkies" contracted HIV using dirty needles to inject Opana they ILLEGALLY liquefied, which is why the generic versions have not been targeted (yet), as they do not employ the same technology.

Re: RAWDOG (# 3)

Walgreens has an adversion to Oxymorphone period and they will not fill them at all cost. Sometimes it has to do with what other drugs you are on that make the combination of the two dangerous in their eyes. Such as Xanax or soma. They will not usually tell you the reason for refusing to fill it.

Jimmy, i agree with you 200%, its like i said before they want to be God and make people's lives a living hell! If they have that much problem keeping up with new meds then they should fire them and hire people that can handle it...its not the consumers fault they have to keep up with a lot of information.. You shouldn't be allowed to pick and choose what you can fill and what you can't fill, its none of there business of what meds people get to fill... its strange that insurance fills your meds with Generic for 5 years then all of a sudden they tell you that opana has no generic when for 5 years they fill it with Oxymorphone er then all of a sudden they say insurance says we can't fill it with Oxymorphone if its written for opana you can if the doctor tells you that you can with Generic, the insurance has nothing to do with that. It's the pharmacy cos where i get it fill at the hospital they never tell me that they fill it as Oxymorphone cos they said its generic for opana. hmmmm interesting. walgreens and some other pharmacies say its not...*****s!
