A lot of people have been having so much trouble with being judged and profiling just for having a prescription of OXY's and other meds.
There is a Group on Facebook~ Fight For Florida Pain Care Action Network..started by Donna Ratliff

Hello, I have been going to the same doc' for 9 years and taking the same prescription meds for the duration. I am at frustrated by the burocracy and simply need a solution. I am going broke driving around from pharmacy to pharmacy, only to be told over and over the same answer. Now I'm not crazy! As I've seen someone post. I have no other way currently to resolve this issue that only seems to be getting worse. I would prefer not to pay the asstranomical prices set by the mom & pop pharms' is there anything I can do?? This is crazy. Email me {edited for privacy}
RE: Mail-Order on prescriptions.. Most 'now' are not filling Class ll meds.. You can of course check it out yourself..
American Pain Foundation -APF has Advocacy Leaders for each State, Florida's is Donna Ratliff she she has a Private Group on Facebook (msg, her and she will add you to the group) if you need a sympathetic ear and /or pissed off we want you to join our group. Do not join just for information, we encourage participation.
There are many good things that are happening now with and for people in Chronic pain that are having problems filing their scripts and the group as made some legal head way w/connections of the media, politicians etc.
Medco/Express Script no longer fills Class ll meds.. I'm sure if you search long & hard you will find a RX that will fill your scripts. Things are getting easier we have found and Walgreens has started to fill again..in some areas and Not across County Lines..
Good Luck and consider joining the Private Group

There are many more active threads springing up daily with similar topics in mind that you could help get involved in to support the cause and promote change.
Also, if anyone has difficulties getting their prescriptions filled locally, whether it be in Florida or another location, I would highly recommend trying an online pharmacy here in the U.S.; There are a handful of sites out there that are safe and legal to order from amongst the swarm of bad ones:
To find out if an online pharmacy is licensed, is in good standing, and is located in the United States, contact NABP at: nabp.net/contact/
Legitimate online pharmacies that carry the VIPPS seal are listed at:
nabp.net/programs/accreditation/vipps/find-a-vipps-online-pharmacy/
FDA: Buying Medicines and Medical Products Online
Quick Tips for Buying Online:
* Make sure the site requires a prescription and has a pharmacist available for questions.
* Buy only from state-licensed pharmacies. The National Association of Boards of Pharmacies has more information about licensing and its program to certify online pharmacies.
* Don't provide personal information such as credit card numbers unless you are sure the site will protect them.
I hope this info helps!
