Is Filling A Dilaudid Prescription As Hard As Roxicodone

Updated

I have been on roxicodone for a couple years. I had soo much trouble filling them that I stopped and realized that I couldn't lead a normal life from my pain. Soo I am back in pain management. Filling roxicodone in FL has become impossible. I and my six are trying dilaudid as a replacement, however, I am now having trouble finding them as well. Anyone else suffering the same issue? Stuck in FL!!

I"m sorry about what you are going through.

Unfortunately, this seems to be an ongoing problem all over Florida and while several theories have been postulated, there has been no official word as to why this is happening.

Have you had any luck getting your prescription filled, yet?

Yes, I did fill it. Unfortunately, it is not the same as the Roxi I have to take more and that don't offer relief from the pain as long. I have been searching for a solution to fill my roxicodone prescription and still come up with nothing. Just sucks as there are a LOT of people suffering needlessly.

I found a mail order service that would fill my script, signed up and sent it off. ONLY to have them be closed down apparently. Soo, now I am back at square one- stuck in FL with no way to fill my script. Has ANYONE found any place to get their scripts filled? I live in Palm Beach County, FL... PLZ help and God Bless.

medude and others, the DEA has told ALL pharmacies that they cannot fill these type of prescriptions,. seriously, that is what has happend. Ask the pharmasit they will tell you. Why and how this is happening I don't understand. but it has in the USA

I went 11 days of trying to fill my prescription of Dilauda.Ive used the same Pharm,for a very long time and their ditributors are Filling the ""MOM&POP Stores because they give them a higher price verses Publix,Walgreens EtcIts NOT The DEA,its the distributors.Mom&pop stores are contracted with every Supplier out there where as Publix and other CORPORATE Stores can only use 1 supplier,so guess what u"d better have a pocket of cash or no meds 4 u,But what we need to be doing is turning in the mom&pops that say we accept All Insurance,then the DEA will shut them downU gotta write to the ATTORNEY GENERALS Office and keep writting if u want ur meds!Good Luck,Loser2

it is a nightmare. I am sitting here w my script for dilaudid and have been to five places already today. will have to search again tomorrow. this has been going on for over a year w no end in sight. I feel almost suicidal; and the dr's say it's not their problem, they have treated u, given u a script and it's your problem to fill it. please let me know if u have found anyone I could go to.

acdud and others first of all Walgreens have a "Good Faith Dispensing Policy " you can google it. Basically if you are not within so many miles of your home or the dr's office they wont fill...then they notate that they refused you and you cannot fill at any other Walgreens. Also the time they did fill for me they filled my percocet 10/325 with A333, and they are terrible. I had read about this on medschat from others, but i just thought to myself they cant sell placebo like that, but they are and they did. So if one Walgreens has turned you down you are wasting your time going to any others. A friend of mine who lives east Of Tampa got in good with Walmart Pharmacist she orders the drugs on tuesdays and gets them by Friday. I live in a wealthy community i go to a Publix 9 out of 10 times they have my meds. As a matter of fact in 9-2014 i went to my PM i had not yet changed my out of state id and this particular Publix filled my meds, i fill all my meds with them also my sister does know the wife of a tech that works there should i have any static. I am fortunate but i dont have a car and i have to go through these changes. It will take you awhile to find your pharmacy. if you are fortunate to fill at a walgreens stay away from their Actavis products. Plz don't quote me on this but Actavis bought Watson?? either way the good quality Watson days are gone. Qualites is a good brand, Malinkrofdt works very well for me. The Alvogen brand percocet works for me but I'm still recovering from losing a whole month of percocet because of walgreens, idk what i was thinking i filled my breakthrough of percocet with them i went back to fill my long acting meds, they refused me. Which in retrospect was probably a good thing. I'm done with walgreens i feel for anyone who gets a month worth of Actavis brand meds because they will be in pain for a month. If you do happen to get this actavis brand and take 1 or 2 take the bottle back to ur doctor see if he/she will rewrite the scrip and ask whatever pharmacy you are going to.

I feel your pain, I have been taking 8 milligram dilaudid for 8 yr. Since January 1 2015 with the new DEA regulations I have had to Pharmacy shop about every 3 months. They cannot get the drug from the manufacturer because of the new regulation. The other problem I have run into and you might want to check on you my insurance company is not reimbursing the cost of the drug, so instead of making a big scene the pharmacy just says they don't have it because they're losing money because of the amount of insurance is reimbursing them. This month I will have to pay $113 to get my prescription because the only pharmacy that has it in my town in California will not take my insurance and I have to pay the out of pocket cost. I hope this gives you a little insight because this is happening all over the country and my only bright spot is once I have my neck surgery I will go back to pain management and they are going to install a morphine pump so I will never have to fight Pharmacy shop for my pain medication

I have degenerating disc's in my spine since 99 and now liver cancer. I have been on every pain medicine out and have stopped on my own over the 15 years. Now i am on dilaudid 8 mgs and have not been able to fill my script for nine weeks. I found that Walmart was the only place that would fill it even though my doctor is 125 miles out of my county. They tell me no matter what they order they don't get any, this is terrible the pain is unreal. First i was so sick from no medicine and had some kind of seizures and a temperature now the agony from chronic pain. This has to stop, no one should have to suffer like this needlessly.

I have been taking oxycodone since 2008 4 x,a daily and both my Dr and the Rx told me I was crazy that there was a difference in makers.The Malinkort are the best on the market my opinion and believe it or not it's the cheapest one on the market.As far as the people who have trouble finding places to have it filled if you have insurance they should have a Rx you can mail the script to and have it filled that way go to the Dr every 25 days be a cause insurance will fill your script every 26 days plus it gives you time to mail it and get it back before you run out I hope this helped some people I know what you are going through and the pain good luck and hope ya all feel better soon
